Harpooned! wording question

By Celestial Lizards, in X-Wing Rules Questions

When you are hit by an attack if there is at least 1 uncanceled critical result, each other ship at Range 1 suffers 1 damage. Then discard this card and receive 1 facedown Damage card.

It says discard the condition card, as apposed to removing it. So can you not use the condition again?

What do you mean?

You can potentially re-apply it if you have another harpoon missile, if that's what you mean. Each missile spawns a new copy of the condition.

Every other condition says: If you do ____________, remove this card. This one says discard the condition. So you couldn't use it again even if you reloaded?

No.

You are overthinking this.

Ah, the fun of non-uniform language use. :P

You could reference the new FAQ (4.4.0) P23 "Q: Are discarding and removing a token the same effect? A: Yes." Given the condition is marked with a token, I believe it would apply.

Can I check a separate thing. It says "...if there is an uncanceled critical result, each ship at range suffers a damage. Then discard this card and receive one facedown damage card".

Presumably you are receiving the face down damage card instead of the uncanceled crit (through Shields if you have any left), and it's not that you take the uncanceled crit AND the facedown damage card.

Wrong. It doesn't say to do it instead so you don't.

I believe you resolve the crit as normal (cause it's uncanceled) and then take the face down from Harpooned!

Harpoon is extremely extremely strong ordnance especially since the TL isn't spent to launch the **** thing,....

Not only do you receive all the dice damage while under the condition, but you receive the crit that triggers it, splash damage to others near you and then an additional card to your ship because it got triggered... at least there's no double splash if you die from the condition - its either the splash from the crit (then remove card, as specified) or splash upon death.

Holy christ.... Well okay then. Jeez. Thanks guys.

if I read the condition right don't you also get splash damage as All ships at range 1 take a hit. So you would take the damage from the attack, including the crit that triggered the condition, take a hit from being at range 1, as you are always at range 1 of yourself, then take the face down damage card. Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems to be seriously OP

When you are hit by an attack, if there is at least 1 uncanceled result, each other ship at Range 1 suffers 1 damage. Then discard this card and receive 1 facedown Damage card.

Bolded for your convenience...
