So Today I was flying Darth Vader with Proton rockets and I look down at the card and read "Attack [focus]: Discard this card to preform this attack." and I thought, wait a minute munitions that use Target Locks say "Attack [Target Lock]: Spend your target lock and discard this card to preform this attack.". So I was wondering if you have to spend the token because while the Target Lock using munitions tell you specifically to spend the target lock the Proton rockets do not. I look at the FAQ and saw nothing on this subject so dose anyone know the awnser to this?
Do you use a focus token when you use Proton Rockets
Nope, you keep the token.
In general always remember the most important part of X-Wing rules: "Only do what the cards tell you to do".
Incidentally there are a few missiles that require a target lock to fire but don't require you to spend it, Homing Missiles being the main one.
Prockets and Homing Missiles i believe are the only ones that dont require you to spend the token/tl to use it but you have to have it around.
Its part of the reason people like having Homing Missiles around. Its not only an anti-evade token but its a pretty **** secure attack w/o ordnance shenanigan stacking.
Ion Pulse Missile.
...wow howd i not see that one lol. Ive been running Blount with an IPM lately and spent the TL every time. Whoops lol
Tracers too. Though I would hope so for an attack that does no damage.
