R2 Astromech and Daredevil

By Vineheart01, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So i had a thought.

Lot of maneuvers are made green by various things (even Nien Numb makes the ion 1fwd green). What about R2 Astromech (May treat all 1- and 2- speed maneuvers as green)?

Daredevil says you execute a red 1turn maneuver. Its actually the only one that i can find that doesnt say do a white move then take a stress anyway. Would R2 make this a green maneuver, thus dodging the stress from it? Obviously wouldnt clear stress since you're stressed, cant do an action, but it could prevent it from stressing?

I realized that if i can find a ship with an EPT and Sensor i can theoretically get my "sudden sharp turn into the dive for combat" maneuver (1hard into my fastest green straight to clear the stress so i can Kturn next turn anyway). While trying to find a good ship for this, i noticed the R2 wording. Might be even better than i thought....since say an E-Wing could simply rocket at 5speed after doing a 1hard and not be stressed anyway lol

No it doesn't, it got errated,

Well frack. Meh, knew it was too good to be true.

*checks the faq* ahhhh so thats how daredevil got changed. Never actually noticed that lol

I asked this like 3 days ago short answer "it dosent work like that now"

Long answer yes r2 will make the manuver from daredevil green but the eratta makes the stress an independent effect that happens after the manuver is complete.

So effectively:

1. Use daredevil action to generate manuver

2. R2 lets you treat as a green

3. Remove stress for green manuver if apicable

4. Execute manuver

5. Gain stress from daredevil
