R2-D6 and VI

By Mackaywarrior, in X-Wing Rules Questions

SO I have always been told that if you discard R2-D6 with IA you still keep your EPT. Is this a-given or can someone point me to an F&Q addressing this?

After all, you know what they say about assuming....

It's correct. It's in the FAQ if i recall correctly.

If Boba Fett is used to discard a card that allows an additional card to be equipped during squad building (such as Royal Guard TIE, R2-D6, or Mist Hunter), any additional equipped cards are not discarded.

If Integrated Astromech is used to discard R2-D6, any equipped Elite Pilot Talent Upgrade card is not discarded.

Ah! Thank you! I searched high and low for an R2-D6 section. Should have checked IA lol

Here's a trick: hit ctrl+f and type in R2-D6 (or whatever other card name you're interested in). That will help you find other entries that reference that card.

Lol, yeah, that's just a little out of date. As much as it would save me time to bookmark the FAQ, I prefer to navigate to it through FFG's website every time, just to make sure I'm actually hitting the latest version.
