Vader / Kylo

By Polaritie, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I can't use Darth Vader's critical damage to trigger I'll Show You the Dark Side, can I?

No. Damage to trigger Kylo's condition must come from an attack, not a separate card ability.

Now if it's that Advanced Targeting Computer being used on Vader's TIE Advanced I don't see why it wouldn't assuming it gets through.

Not what you meant of course but Vader as crew doesn't trigger ISYtDS.

ATC would. Vader crew wouldn't.

That's what I figured.

For a brief glorious moment I was thinking Omicron+Kylo+Vader before I realized it probably didn't work.

You could run that as a Doom Shuttle with other ships that like to produce crits. Backdraft comes immediately to mind. A Defender would make a good third ship in that list. I haven't run the points exactly, but it should work.

Yeah, but I wanted self-contained. Move, kylo, shoot, vader.

Trade Vader for the Mangler Cannon. For that kind of build you're better off with a Firespray. Take Kath Scarlet so your target get stress if they evade the crit.

Post your list in squad building and tag me. This isn't really a rule discussion anymore.
