Dace and Electronic Baffle

By darkdooku, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Looking to confirm:
Say you're running Dace Bonearm and your opponent has a ship with Electronic Baffle, the order of execution for these effects when an ion token is given to the baffle ship is based on initiative?

Doesn't make a huge difference since if either is proc'ing the Baffle ship is taking damage but I could see cases where you wouldn't baffle to force Dace to use his ability and shutdown future use of the ability this turn or forcing the Dace player to decide whether he thinks the baffle player will baffle the ion if he doesn't use his ability.

The order that you resolve the effects in is determined by initiative but resolving Electronic Baffles first does not stop Dace's ability from resolving since the trigger is the ion token being received. Dace's ability doesn't require the target ship to actually have an ion token to work.

The player with the Electronic Baffle will want Dace to have initiative. That way he is more in control of how much damage he takes.
