Does Dooku get to use his ability for each upgrade and dice used when Armed to the Teeth and Fight Dirty are played respectively? Or does he only get to use it one time when either AttT or Fight Dirty is played?

Dooku: Before this character is dealt 1 or more damage, you may discard a card from your hand to give him 1 shield.

AttT: Discard any number of upgrades from one of your Yellow characters. Then deal damage to a character equal to the number of upgrades you just discarded.

Fight Dirty: Remove any number of your Yellow dice. Then deal damage to a character equal to the number of dice you just removed.

I'd say its one source of damage, so once.

The damage from the cards is dealt all at once. So he'd only get to discard once.

Fight Dirty and Armed to the Teeth are divided into a cost (discard upgrades/remove dice) and an effect (deal damage). They aren't specifically related - it doesn't matter how you get to the effect, in the end it's one source of damage. So yes, Dooku can only block one damage from it.

Thanks all. I figured it was so. Just hated to see Ol' Dooks die so unexpectedly... Again.

I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it if/when Vibroknife becomes popular. Once Vibroknife hits the table his ability might as well be blank unless you can reliably mitigate its die.

Agreed. Going out in a final blaze of glory this weekend - Q2 tourney, no SOR cards allowed. After that, on to SOR!

I'm thinking about using him in our tournament on the 4th for one last time in the old meta.

It's not like he's becoming obsolete, but he is taking a big hit and won't feel as durable.

Dooku's ability is pretty much blank anyway - discarding a card to prevent a damage is kind of a last resort anyway, it's like if all your cards were Take Cover with an ambush keyword.

Dooku will continue to be good for what he is - a nice, cheap Force user with the ability to both do damage and force opponents to discard!

Have you played against Dooku? His ability is definitely not a blank by any means. He can be insanely hard to kill. If you kill his partner first they just deck him out and then have a tough kill powerful character, if you try to kill him first it will likely take you longer, all the while they gear up his partner...
