Harpoon mechanics?

By teeg123456, in X-Wing

Just trying to get it straight.

Fire harpoon

Hit do say 2 damage then give condition card.

does it take effect from that point. So any hits from then on will trigger it.

Then on that ships next action they can do what it say to remove it.

Thanks for help

Frankly I am confused: Are you asking or telling?

Asking if this is roughly how it works? Sorry for the confusion

Attack with an harpoon missile:

  1. Fire your missile
  2. The attack hits
  3. Deal damages
  4. Assign the "harpooned !" condition to the defender

Another attack:

  1. Defender has the "harpooned !" condition
  2. The attack hits and there is an uncancelled crit
  3. All other ships at range 1 of the defender suffer a damage
  4. the "harpooned !" condition is removed
  5. Defender receives a damage card
  6. Deal damages of the attack
  7. Resolve "after attacking"and "after defending" habilities

Or another attack

  1. Defender has the "harpooned !" condition
  2. The attack hits
  3. Deal damages of the attack
  4. The defender is destroyed (ie has as much damage cards than hull points)
  5. All ships at range 1 of the defender suffer a damage
  6. Resolve "after attacking"and "after defending" habilities
  7. Remove defender from the playmat

Note that in the attack with the harpoon missile, it is not clear if assigning the "harpooned !" condition occurs before or after the resolution of "after attacking"and "after defending"habilities.

That‘s an important detail which is often missed. This damage goes through shields!

We haven't been missing this. I guess you have, but we've been doing this.

most of the time when it happens the shields are probably gone... so makes sense.

good to know tho for regen bastards like Poe/Miranda

If you seriously hit Miranda with five Harpoon Missiles and she still regens up her shields and you kill her using the facedown damage card while she still has shields, we need a battle report.

does it count if one or more damage cards passed under shields are also from Kylo?

Totally. And bonus points if you flip some of the facedown ones up using Colzet.

You missed step 2.7f: shout "THAR SHE BLOWS!"
