Deathrain and Squad Leader

By Iksentrik, in X-Wing Rules Questions

How would Deathrain work with Squad Leader

Can she move and boost in activation

Then Squad Leader triggers and she can drop a bomb, would that then trigger he pilot ability for a free barrel roll?

Yes it would work but only if the bomb being dropped is an Action: bomb, like Cluster Mines, Conner Net or Proximity Mines.

Yep, and that's just one of the reasons why Deathrain is one of the most fun pilots to play.

Upgrade cards with the Action header can be used at any time you are given an action to choose from. This includes PTL or Experimental Interface too. Though i think the latter is the only case you can be given a choice between actions where you cant pick literally every action.

You cant drop a bomb with a free action since thats not an action, thats a reveal the dial it happens thing. Mines are actions though, which is part of the reason they arent very well liked right now.

PTL says "1 free action shown in your action bar".

Mines aren't actually a thing in X-Wing rules. All of the droppeable upgrades that go into that slot are bombs. It doesn't matter what the name of the card happens to be.

Cluster Mines are bombs. Conner Nets are bombs, Seismic Charges are bombs.
