When can you spend focus tokens?

By Kanawolf, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Palob with Moldy Crow, RecSpec, and Illicit Cloak. Can the saved focus tokens be used to change the roll for the cloak failure dice? From the TFA Rules Reference is states that Focus tokens can be spend during attack or defense, doesn't mention if they can be spent at other times. Of course I guess if you have deadeye and ordnance, but that is spent in prep for an attack so...

Thoughts?

You can spend a focus token to modify your dice during the Modify Attack dice and Modify Defense dice steps of the Combat phase, or any time a card ability requires you to spend a focus token, but there isn't a Modify step that occurs at the end of a round when you are required to roll for the Cloaking Device.

So I would say, no you can't spend a focus token to change the Cloaking Device roll.

You can't modify that roll. You roll it, and if you come up <eye>, your cloak is gone.
