so the errata update reads for this card

"the errata now reads "after defending, if you suffered a combination of 3 or more damage AND critical damage during the attack, recover 1 shield"

does this mean i have to take critical damage for it to proc?? So normal damage normal damage critcal damage to equal 3 damage + a crit ??

thanks

No, it's just saying if you take 3 or more of some type of damage, whether it be normal or critical. A damage is specifically NOT a crit. They wanted to reinforce that this card is NOT like R4-D6 which does not trigger on crits.

Realistically they could have said "if there is a total of 3 or more uncanceled "Booms" or "Kabooms" recover 1 shield That way there isn't any confusion about what damage is or isn't. Unless they want to include the possibility of a direct hit to count, as in I get a hit and a crit, you get blanks then loose your last shield and take a faceup damage card that is a direct hit for 2 damage giving a total of 3.

Pretty sure direct hit does does count for reinforced deflectors. It specifically says it counts as two damage. Major explosion hits would also count for it.

Direct Hit doesn't count as suffering two damage, it counts as two damage cards towards your total hull.

Yes, this was confirmed in the last FAQ.

A "combination of 3 or more damage a critical damage" can be 3+0, 1+2, 2+1, 0+3, or any of those but with bigger numbers. You do NOT have to take critical damage but this is making sure that the critical damage counts as damage.

It really sucks if it only works after suffereing 3 or more damage (as defined by filled explosion symbol or booms as they are sometimes called) if you get nailed by an attack that is only 2 booms but also happens to include 2 kabooms/critical damage.
