Hey guys,

Just checking, as we're having a convo about it tonight - can Ataru Strikers use Saber Swarm prior to using Hawk Bat Swoop, so they can then use the Force Dice to generate advantage for more hits with Saber Swarm?

Cheers!

Yes. Keep in mind their Force Rating still limits the total number of additional hits they can achieve.

Yep, they certainly can, and said combo was fully intended by the designers as being Ataru's "thing."

It's a large part of what makes an Ataru Striker a glass cannon amongst the LS Form specs, as they can hit incredibly hard thanks to that combo of talents, but their defenses aren't quite as good due to being heavily reliant upon spending strain against each attack.
