Dace and Maul

By DanteStorm, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So I've been toying with lists around with Maul and Dace Bonearm and came up with a doubt, if Dace is stressed and attacks a ship with his Ion Canon Turret, if the attack hits, because it hit Maul removes his stress, because the attack hit the opposing ship gets an ion and because there was an ion assigned I can get another stress to deal 1 damage to that ship?

If not like that, then how is it?

That is correct I believe.

scratch that, Arachneo is right.

Effects that occur "after performing an attack" (Maul, Darth Vader [Trip]) do not resolve until both attacks have been resolved, per the "Timing Chart for Performing an Attack" on page 8. [FAQ page 22]

This is step 8.

So it's not possible because Ion canon/ turret deal damage on step 7. On step 7 Dace is still stressed and cannot trigger his ability.

In the plus side this means you can ion someone, give +1 damage while receiving stress, then clear the stress immediately!

This lets you do damage for stress when another ship is ionized later. It's the only way I can think of to use Dace's ability twice in a round, but only using the second half of Maul's ability...

A Dace + Kavil list would be wicked cute. The biggest issue with Ion Cannon Turret is the lack of damage. Dace upping it to 2 damage (same as a TLT!) on two shots, with someone like PTL Guri or Fenn Rau to take advantage of a target locked into a predictable move...
