Lightning Reflexes

By Willy Jarque, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Well, this isn't actually a question.

Lightning reflexes' text must be changed in the FAQ, because as it is written it doesn't assign the stress token...

It hasn't been officially changed. Mostly we either ignore the "after the Check Pilot Stress step" text or say "Well that was a while ago, so I guess now is 'after' it...."

Don't go looking for Frankmails that reference both Lightning Reflexes and Kanan Jarrus, though.

Yeah, that's what i do, assign the stress when i turn the ship, like i think it should be.

But, well, it should be changed.

Check Pilot Stress!

If your perform a red maneuver, and use LR to flip 180, you get two stress tokens. Ex: TIEs/f makes a 1 turn right (red maneuver), uses LR to flip 180, check pilot stress, get 1 for red maneuver, and then 1 for LR 180.

Some things remove/mitigate stress only during Check Pilot Stress sub-step.

Lightning reflexes on Soontir Fel = fun!

Lightning Reflexes on x7 Ryad = FUN!!

I don't know if you actually got the point of this post. "Check pilot stress" substep is in the "execute a maneuver" step, so if you resolve something after a maneuver, you can't do anything at the CPS substep, because it already has passed.

Also, what kalandros say.

And to say more, lightning reflexes on Ryad is a waste, but on Soontir is a horrible idea.
