Deathrain, Advanced Sensors, EI and Seismic Torps

By USCGrad90, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Thinking about an interesting combo that I want to make sure is legal:

- Deathrain uses Advanced Sensors to boost close to another ship.

- He drops a bomb and then Barrel Rolls forward and away from it passing the opposing ship

- He then uses Experimental Interface to Fire off Seismic Torps and Gains a Stress

- Lastly, Reveal the Dial with a Green 2 Straight to clear the stress.

I assume the above is legal but that I could not perform a 4K turn due to the stress gained with EI. Correct?

Provided the bomb that you're using to trigger the barrel roll is a dial-reveal bomb like Seismic Charges, yes, that all looks legit.

Except that your "Lastly" isn't "Reveal the Dial", because that's what triggered the bomb -> barrel roll -> EI -> Seismic Torpedoes. Your "Lastly" is "execute the maneuver", but yes, it clears the stress.

Purely because this is Deathrain its legal. Normally no it wouldnt be, but since he does a barrelroll action he bypasses the timing issue of ADV Sensors + EI in that situation.

1) Adv Sensors into Boost

2) Reveal dial

3) Drop seismic bomb (or bomb of your flavor long as its action-less)

4) Pilot ability barrelroll

5) EI into Seismic Torps

6) Take stress

7) Perform revealed maneuver

8) Clear stress

if you tried that with someone else the #4 gap would prevent this from working.

Actually, if it was a generic Punisher with Advanced sensors, I could EI after boosting and accomplish the same effect., just a little further away than a barrel roll would take me.
