Anti-bomb card

By rafcpl6868, in X-Wing

Ept,

If your agility is 3 or higher, when you would take 1 or more damage from a bomb, you may spend an evade token to cancel that damage.

Takes the EPT slot, which kills it outright for the vast majority of bomb-vulnerable aces.

Requires the evade action which kills it for a few more.

Requires you to have taken an action prior to taking the damage, and given that this is your EPT, that evade would be your only action.

Terrible.

Bombs need fixing by fixing bombs, not by introducing counterplay cards.

Thanks for the idea! I wonder if FFG will present an upgrade card to balance bombs or as others suggest, fix bomb mechanics in general. In my local meta bombs aren't an issue. Sometimes we use them, sometimes we don't. We have fun regardless! If a buff came by means of an upgrade card, would a modification card work which allows you to equip one additonal upgrade card too? I wonder. . .
