Hello

I have a question about Assault Proton Torpedoes, on a critcal effect on a black dice it says the following " Deal 1 faceup damage card to the defender. "

Does this means that the attack will ignore shields?

The Attack will not ignore shields.

But you will have one Damage Card Face up on the Defender, at the end of the day, before anything else.

Assuming no Defense Tokens:

When you get to the "Damage" Step of the Attack, you first resolve your Critical Hit.

In this case, your Critical Hit is Assault Proton Torpedoes - which immediately deals a face up damage card to the player .

Then you will calculate how much damage is showing on your Dice (Hit + Crit symbols)

Then you will dole those damage out one point at a time. If they hit shields, they hit shields. If they hit hull, they hit hull... But no further cards will be face up (as the Default Critical Effect of "The first card is dealt face up" was replaced with the Assault Proton Torpedoes earlier)...

Thank your for the help.

It's a fun way of getting a spiteful critical hit when bad rolling means the main attack is soaked by shields.

As well, fire control team allows you to resolve a second crit. 2 tasty crits as long as shields are down. And Screed.

So if you are attacking a ship with four shield and you have three hits and a black crit . You can either apply it as 4 dmg with a standard crit effect. In which case all the dmg get eatend by the shields.

Or use the crit effect on the APT to give the shield a face up dmg card and still apply 4 dmg to be eaten by the shields.

Yes, you deal the face up damage card and then apply 4 damage. Love APT's

That's what I thought as well, and then the FAQ happened.

(Which I became aware of right after I had eBay ordered three of FCTs )

We're all reeling from that one.

To be fair, the change helps make ACM great again.
