What takes precedence, Double Edge or Snap Shot?

By Javelin, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Which one takes precedence?

"Cannot" is absolute, so Snap Shot would stop you making any further attacks that phase.

"Golden Rules" on Page 2 of the Rules reference.

There's plenty of cards and abilities that override the cannot.

A card can override a "cannot" from the core rules, but if two cards are in conflict the cannot takes precedence. Which in this case means no additional attacks.

Only way to override a "cannot" is if you are explicitly told to.

Double Edge doesnt specify such a thing. Which is sad because this was the only trick i saw for him that actually uses his ability w/o making him dang near 30pts and have TLock issues due to his PS4. Sadly it dun work :P

It's not quite as simple as that (of course). Cards can override 'cannot' from the rulebook. Missions can override 'cannot' from cards.

But cards can't override a 'cannot' from another card - if two cards are in conflict and one includes 'cannot', that one wins.

Double Edge + Unguided Rockets + LWF is only 23 points and his ability works great like that.....
