Jyn Erso to get stressed

By Schu81, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello dear XWing Community

If I have got a ship equiped with

- Experimental Interface

- Jyn Erso Crew

Is it possible to do a focus action first and do the "Jyn Erso" action via Experimental Interface even though there are no ships in my arcs? Of course this would result in getting 0 focus token. But is it still possible to do this in order to receive stress on purpose?

Greetings everyone :)

Yes, you can EI to activate Jyn Erso, select yourself as the recipient, count zero enemy ships in arc at Range 1-3, and assign yourself zero Focus tokens before taking a stress from EI.

Huh. That's an interesting edge case for a combo, and it totally works by the rules.

Who would want the stress and get no benefit from it?

Almost no one.

However, there are a few combinations that could benefit from it. Any ship with another crew slot could equip Kyle and gain a focus for removing the stress later. Ezra crew with a turret (or a ship moving into arc later) could change a focus to crit. Or Ezra pilot, for defense.

True, but Keyan cannot have both Experimental Interface and a crew slot at the same time.

He could have PTL though. Focus & stress or barrel roll & stress.
