This should be a pretty straight forward question (or not), but how does Deadeye interact with Homing Missiles? Does Deadeye only work on ordinance that requires that you spend the TL in order to fire?

The first line of the card states: " You may treat the "ATTACK (TARGET LOCK):" header as '"ATTACK (FOCUS) :"

That part would seem to work with Homing Missiles as they have the Attack (Target Lock) header.

But, the second line confuses the issue: " When an attack instructs you to spend a target lock, you may spend a focus token instead. "
So since you are not spending the target lock to fire the Homing Missiles, does it work with Deadeye? Or does the first line of the card stand and you simply need to have a focus token in order to fire without the need to spend it?

If the card just said something like "Convert Attack (Target Lock) to Attack (Focus) , then it would be crystal clear to me that it would work with Homing Missiles as you would just convert the header of the card and then follow the directions on the ordinance card as written. This would mean that you could use Deadeye to take a focus token and fire your Homing Missiles without spending the token to do so (and thus have it to modify the results).

BUT, the example states that you spend the focus instead of spending a target lock when attack instructions tell you to. So what about when they don't? I've looked in the FAQ and didn't find anything that covered this, which is weird since they came out in the same wave.

Any thoughts?

its straight forward. You may treat it as attack (focus) instead of attack (target lock). The second bit doesnt do anything unless you are instructed to spend it.

"When you are instructed..." well, you werent instructed to spend it so that doesnt go off.

Its there because otherwise it would still have "Spend your Target Lock" which would be broken ruling and make no sense considering you dont have a TL to spend.

That's kind of what I thought, Thanks.

Looking at the card to me I would think the bottom half only applys to cards that spend the target lock to fire. So for homing missile dosnt spend the target lock so the 2nd half of dead eye dosnt apply. Shoot keep focus
