3PO and the Ghost

By Forcause31, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Since the Ghost has 0 agilty and FFG had made 0 a number would 3PO work to gain a free evade dice? And with an evade token thus gaining 2 evades from a zero agilty ship? Is it possible?

No, because: Once per round, before you roll 1 or more defense dice, you may guess aloud a number of [evade] results. If you roll that many [evade] results (before modifying dice), add 1 [evade] result.

C-3P0 requires you to roll 1 or more dice.

I mean, technically it works against obstructed or long range attacks, or if a card comes out later to increase a ship's agility... but otherwise, everything above is correct. C-3PO requires at least one die to be rolled to function.

Stealth Device wishes it wasn't so expendable :unsure:

Yeah, 3P0 specifically says on his card that you have to be rolling at least one die. He does work if you're long range or obstructed as well but that's it for his standard use.

There's a janky build where you put 3P0 and Lando on the Ghost. 3P0 just says before rolling 1 or more defense die. He does not specify while defending. So you can totally 3P0 a Lando roll and call zero to guarantee at least 1 evade with the chance for other stuff based on what come up on the dice.

Lando action, call Threepio for zero, roll focus-focus, end up with 3 tokens ;)
