Foresight

By Captain ICT, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

A thought occurred to me, because I love edge cases, and debate.

Foresight reads:

"When you resolve the [Evade] defense effect, you can affect 1 additional die. ..."

TRC reads:

"While attacking, you may spend 1 [Evade] defense token to change 1 red die to a face with a critical icon or 2 hit icons."

So can Foresight TRC for 2 die, as when it spends the defense token, it can affect 1 additional die?

Nope, looked at this a while back.

Foresight reads:

"When you resolve the [Evade] defense effect , you can affect 1 additional die. ..."

Only the defense effect. Sadly.

Defense effect is nowhere defined in the rulebook.

I can pretty much promise that using an evade for offense is not a defense effect.

Defense effect is nowhere defined in the rulebook.

Though you are correct that simply Ctrl-Fing for "Defense Effect" returns no results...

Defense tokens can be spent by the defender during the

“Spend Defense Tokens” step of an attack to produce the

effects described below:

...

Evade: At long range, the defender cancels one attack

die of its choice. At medium range, it chooses one attack

die to be rerolled. At close range or distance 1, this

token has no effect.

...

Defense tokens can be spent as part of a cost for

upgrade card effects. If spent in this way, a defense token

does not produce its normal effect.

Pretty straightforward.

1) The Evade defense token's effect is that you can make the attacker to reroll a die.

2) You get the effect by spending said defense token during the defense part of the attack phase.

3) You may spend TRCs Evade token during the assemble your attack pool part.

As the token was spent with TRC during the wrong part it may not trigger its effect. Foresight's card specifically defines that you have to sue Evade's "effect".
