Would Tailgunner work on the Shadowcaster?

By Luethar, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Would Tailgunner's -1 Agility work on the Shadowcaster's mobile firing arc while it is rear-facing?

Card reads " When attacking from your rear-facing auxiliary firing arc, reduce the defender's agility by 1 (to a minimum of "0"). Limited."

No.

The shadowcaster doesn't have an auxiliary arc, it has a mobile arc.

No because it's a mobile firing arc, not a rear auxiliary arc.

No.

The shadowcaster doesn't have an auxiliary arc, it has a mobile arc.

I assume Tailgunner wouldn't work for the Ghost's special arc then?

No.

The shadowcaster doesn't have an auxiliary arc, it has a mobile arc.

I assume Tailgunner wouldn't work for the Ghost's special arc then?

Tail Gunner specifies "when attacking from your rear-facing auxiliary arc ...", so that text restricts it to rear-facing auxiliary arcs only.

No.

The shadowcaster doesn't have an auxiliary arc, it has a mobile arc.

I assume Tailgunner wouldn't work for the Ghost's special arc then?

If Tailgunner works on the Ghost's special arc, I would assume it would also work on the mobile arc as long as it is set to rear-facing.

If Tailgunner works on the Ghost's special arc, I would assume it would also work on the mobile arc as long as it is set to rear-facing.

Your logic is good but your premise is false. Tail gunner doesn't work with the VCX's special arc. See Parravon's post above.

Just wanted to see if anybody got a different understanding how Tailgunner interacts with the ghost.

So its Sprays 'n' ARCs only.

At present, yes.
