Wampa and Timing

By Ken at Sunrise, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Does anyone know when Wampa's ability come in to play?

I was thinking it was Step 3 of the new timing chart?

Thank you

Step 6. He gets to see if his crit goes through before deciding to cancel all the dice and deal a damage card.

Wampa's ability was FAQ'd to trigger at the start of the "Compare Results" phase.

And this is now huge, because you get to see if they spend token or not...

Sure Wampa will often be the last to attack, but if not, you could roll Crit - Crit, then they roll Eye-Blank-Blank and then they have to decide if they spend anything. If they don't you do nothing and they get two crits. if they spend, you cancel, deal them 1 dmg anyway and they wasted token before they are attack by your remaining ship.

This is nothing new though. He received errata almost immediately upon release.

I guess I missed it in the FAQ, sorry but thanks for the answer.
