mind link question

By Sidsicky, in X-Wing Rules Questions

If you take a focus with mindlink, giving everyone a focus. Can the next ship take a second focus and have two focuses? Not including a manaroo pass on focus.

Yes, a ship that has received a focus token can use the focus action to receive a second focus token. The only stipulation is that you cannot perform the same action twice. Since receiving a focus token through Attanni Mindlink is not an action, a ship that receives a focus token through Attanni Mindlink may still take the focus action to receive a second focus token.

Although performing the Focus action involves assigning a focus token, there is a very definite rules distinction about "performing an action" to get a token, and being "assigned" a token from another source.

So with Old Fenn Roo. Mind linked. if Fenn is only one targeted. He can get a focus from Old Teroch in mindlink. Take a focus token for his turn. And also have Manaroo pass it's focus for a 3 focus stack. Nice, Thanks that answered my question.

Yup. And don't forget that the Mindlink gives Manaroo one back after she passes her tokens - she ends up with no tokens, then someone gains one, so she ends up with one as well.
