Rude Rudor

By Angry_Ewok, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

My Shara Bey got locked up with Valen Rudor and Col. Jenden last night. Rudor eventually killed Shara becasue he was shooting once for himself, and once from Jenden. My opponent asserted that per the FAQ, I could not counter Rudor. This I agree with, but if there is another legal target en range do I get to fire at them? That seams like it might not work since they did not target Shara specifically... But what about when Jendon activates his ability to allow Rudor to fire again. DO I again loose my counter shot, even though Jendon is the original source of the shot and is in range to be countered.

I think rules as written I get no counter against any of it but that is absurd. This rules interaction shorted me out of 4 different Shara Bey counters, inside Toryn Far range. I figure at the very least I should get to counter the 2 "Jendon tag in" shots.

What is the communities take.

Also, in the same game my GR-75 had the crit. that say "when overlapping an obstacle... suffer one damage." Does that apply to the station? I ran over the station and ended up playing it where I had to take a face down and then got to trigger the station to discard the face up crit. Is that right or should I have just pitched the crit as normal.

When you are being shot by Rudor, you do not get to use Counter against him. Even if Rudor shoots you twice.

Sounds like you handled the station/damage/crit situation correctly! - Redacting, so it doesn't confuse any readers.

Nope, Rudor gets to shoot and is immune to counter. Thats why he has that grin on his face.

You played it correctly, if your squadron is engaged with Rudor and another enemy squadron, it cannot attack (or counter as it is an attack) Rudor. Jendon's ability makes Rudor attack again, so, no counter to Jendon as he is not the one attacking.

Regarding the other question, yes, the station is an obstacle, so with that face up card you have to deal one damage card to your ship even if you overlap the station

I'm pretty sure you can decide the order of this. So you resolve the station to discard the crit. The crit is no longer there so you don't have to resolve it.

Yep, that was a clarification from Lead Designer James Kniffen himself, back in the day...

If you have Damage controls and land on the station, you can discard the Crit before Damaged Controls counts.

If you land on a ship and the station, the Ship Ram completes first (and you'll take 2 there), before the station kicks in and heals a crit.

I though there might have been a timing exception that would allow me to do that.

Rudor is an outstanding counter to Shara, and I love anyone who gets to deny you a chance to roll your sparkly cheater dice .

The Flipside of that being that, basically, unless he is assisted, Rudor cannot do anything to Shara, due to Black Dice not having ACC results to get through her Scatter.

He is, however, an excellent way to made her spend a scatter.

Good synergy with Saber and IG-88 too.

And Jendon.

I didn't think on Rudor+Jendon. I like it. Now I am thinking on Bossk+Jendon.

"Of course, Shara, you can counter me but you won't" :P

I used Bossk+Rudor in correlian conflict.

I locked down Shara Bey with Rudor and IG-88 yesterday. That was a very satisfying kill.

Plus Rudor + Flight controllers, and Howlrunner, is 3 black dice, and 2 blue dice, giving a good chance of an accuracy and a lot of damage.
