R4-E1 and PTL

By ThisIsDavin, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Just curious on how the community at large would rule the timing of R4-E1 and its potential with PTL.

SITUATION:

Nym does a Tallon Roll.

Stress applied.

R4-E1 allows bomb action while stressed.

R4-E1 is discarded to remove the stress token.

-> can I now PTL for a focus (and reapply the stress) or is my action window closed at that stage?

Yup. PTL and R4-E1 have the same trigger so you choose the order of resolution E1>PTL.

You can PTL off of pretty much any card that has the Action: or allows an action. Advanced Sensors/PTL? Yep. Free bomb action? Yep. Experimental Interface? Yep, if you don't mind 2 stress. Burnout Slam/Advanced Slam/PTL? Yep.

As a side note for R4-E1, you can do seismic torps and still get PTL action.

Considering playing BroBots to see where they are in the meta.

If I take Burnout Slam on them with Push the Limit:
I can 3 bank, Burnout SLAM (3-sloop), then which triggers first - the stress from the maneuver or the window to PtL?

The stress from the manoeuvre triggers first - the stress from a red move is part of executing the move, so PTL which happens afterwards, will happens whilst you're stressed.

Well, I can't say I'm shocked. Worth asking though.

Advanced sensors may be the way to go but I do love FCS, especially with Gunnerbot

Can always just ditch the droid to destress yourself then PTL. it does have a discard perk since unless you have multiple bombs hes completely useless after that one bomb drop anyway.

Both the discard and PTL happen "after you perform an action" - just the droid is specifically "this action" but still "an action" nontheless. So bomb, discard droid to ditch redmove stress, PTL, get PTL stress.

That's... exactly what the OP was asking whether you could do or not...

I suspect he's gotten mixed up due to the posts directly above going off on a tangent about Brobots.
