Kanaan Crew and Debris

By SkyWarp, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So question on order of operations.

A ship with Kanaan crew passes over a debris cloud while performing a white move do you end up with a stress or not? I know with triggers that happen at the same time you can choose which order you trigger them. So basically does Kannan Trigger as soon as you place the ship down or at the check pilot stress step?

Kanan triggers after the manoeuvre is complete, which is after the check pilot stress step.

Kanan can clear the stress from Debris, which then allows you to take an action if you weren't stressed to start off with.

Debris deliberately places the stress after the "Check Pilot Stress" step. This is part of the maneuver, and you still have one step left, "Clean Up". Since Kanan triggers after maneuvers, Kanan will ALWAYS trigger after receiving the stress from debris. If for some strange reason you wanted to Kanan a stress away before you receive a debris cloud stress, you wouldn't be able to.

So if I understand correctly, if my ship flies through a debris field with a white maneuver and I have Kanan on that ship or nearby, his ability will function to remove the stress that would ordinarily have been gained by the debris field?

FAQ directly says kanan work on debris.

Didnt stop a lot of people questioning me last saturday though when i did it on Chewie with Kyle/Kanan to actually BENEFIT from hitting debris lol

Thanks everyone.

Always nice to blaze through debris, and then focus or boost. They never expect that!

Especially if your opponent has the mistaken impression that all obstacles cause you to skip your action step (only Asteroids do that).

Haha epic combo man!

Yea i had that fight with people too when i took Whisper, Yorr and bunch of debris to one tournament.

Remember though that Kanan only works on whites.

A few times I've done green moves onto a debris field, expecting to lose my stress but you don't!

Also dont hit multiple debris: apparently in TFA rulebook they changed that to be affected by every obstacle you hit not just one. Surprised i played that long without knowing that until i flew chewie over a chute and a debris.

One stress became a focus due to kanan/kyle, second stress went through. Which denied my TL and boned me because i needed that lol (trickshot obstructed range1 = 5die chewie lol)

Also you still suffer potential damage, you just dont get the stress.
