double attack in skirmish

By fabiofotomoto, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

hello

here again with my doubt!

in Skirmish rules we have: Figures can only use one of their actions to attack per activation. is includes using special actions that involve performing one or more attacks (such as the Nexu’s “Pounce” or Darth Vader’s “Brutality”).

but some command card says you can done 2 attack ( i remember one that use 2 special actions to get 2 attack)

what's i have to follow? rules or card?

​and if a miniature in its card says it can do 2 attack?

​thanks Fabio

(Non-hero) Figures can only use one of their actions to attack per activation. Cards can override rules, but that is not relevant to Pounce or Brutality, only Assault.

Pounce does not contain multiple attacks, but it contains an attack, so Nexu cannot spend the other action for attacking if it performs an attack during Pounce (and the other way around).

Brutality performs 2 attacks, but is only one action, so that is fine too. A figure can use Brutality to attack twice without contradicting the rule of only one attack action.

If you get to "perform an attack" from an ability without spending an action, that is fine too. Because you are not spending an action, it does not count towards the one-attack-action limit per activation.

Each special action can only performed once per activation, so you cannot use Pounce or Brutality twice in the same activation. (Vader can use Brutality and Force Choke in the same activation because Force Choke is not an attack.)

If a special action requires you to spend both actions to perform multiple attack, that double-special action is still only one action performed.

Assault lifts the limit of only using one action to attack. With Assault a figure can perform more than one action containing attacks.

There are a lot of threads about this. If this isn't enough to make it clear.

You're welcome. I have had a lot of practice saying/writing all of this. I hope I didn't forget anything directly related.
