The Card reads " When you perform an attack that hits, before dealing damage, you may cancel 1 of your "crits" to add 2 "hits" results "

In the most recent FAQ (EFFECTIVE 03.17.2017) there is added "When a ship is hit by Bossk’s attack, Bossk may cancel a "crit" result to add 2 "hits" results before Draw Their Fire, Xizor’s ability, and R4-D6 can be used."

Can some one explain to me what precedent is set that only allows this effect to be triggered ONCE per attack or per round? There is no "once per round" or "once per attack" heading that many other cards have for similar situations. The FAQ statement adds even more confusion as "A crit" doesn't have key text like "a SINGLE crit" that is seen on other cards.

On the rare occasion that multiple crits are dealt from a single attack isn't the purpose of bossk to use those to melt other ships, that seems to be his role in the game.

I have been playing it can only trigger once but just looking for some evidence, based in the rules, other than " its just not how it works!"

Rules Reference, page 8, under Card Abilities:

"A card ability cannot be resolved more than once during the timing specified on the card. For example, a card with the timing of “when defending” cannot be resolved twice by the defender during a single attack."

Your attack "hits" once therefore triggering this only one time. The ability allows you to cancel 1 of your crit results and add 2 hit results. It says everything you need to know right there.

That FAQ entry is just helping to clarify timing issues to allow Bossk to split hit crit into two hits before some other ship could pull/pass the crit to something else. It also means that if another ship were to get the crit Bossk couldn't then be used to split it there.

This is really crucial, because otherwise you could technically recover all your shields at once with R2.
