New player with a dumb question

By DuckofDeath, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So can a named character use his abilities along with secondary weapons cards? i.e. Can "Ten Numb" use his ability on his card which states, "When attacking, 1 of your 'critical damage' results cannot be canceled by defense dice' in conjunction with the Autoblasters which states, "Attack: Attack 1 ship. Your 'damage' results cannot be canceled by defense dice. The defender may cancel 'critical damage' results before 'damage' results"? Thanks for the help and clarification.

Duck out!

Correct. Ten prevents one [crit] from being canceled, and Autoblaster prevents all [hits] from being canceled, so the only thing that could be evaded would be any [crits] beyond the first.

In general, anything that says "When attacking" applies to all weapon types. The only time an ability is restricted to a certain weapon type is when it says so on the card. E.g. "When attacking with a primary weapon".

Awesome! Thanks for the help!!!!
