Real simple question.
Can Vader use relentless twice? Move ->(relentless free aim) -> move ->(relentless free attack)
?
I think so but want to be sure.

I remember seeing it played that way in the demo.
Edit: completely glossed over the aim thing.
Edited by PatteousHow is relentless giving him an aim?? I tought it was a free attack.
Yep, it just gives you a free attack action, that's it. No aim. And you can only attack once, even if it's free. I don't know where they got that relentless gives an aim...
The answer is simple, Vader can NOT attack twice. He is only ever allowed to attack once a turn.
This is clearly stated as an example of page 12 of the Rules Reference.
Edited by Berning22I thought they showed in the demo that he got to use his attacks twice because it’s a “free” attack action.
in the rulse page 12
If a game effect provides a unit with a free action of a certain
type, such as a free attack action, performing that free action
does not count against that unit’s two actions per activation,
but is considered an action for the purposes of game effects
and therefore does not allow a unit to perform the same
non-move action more than once during its activation.
For example, Darth Vader performs a move action, triggering
his
relentless
ability and allowing him to perform a free
attack action. After this free attack action, Darth Vader still
has one of his two actions remaining, but he cannot use this
remaining action to perform another attack action.
During a unit’s activation, it is possible for it to perform
multiple
attacks
through the use of command cards or
other abilities. If a game effect provides a unit with an attack
during its activation, and that attack is not an action or
free action, performing that attack does not count toward a
unit’s limit of a single attack action per activation. It is not
an action and therefore does not count against that unit’s
two actions per activation and does not trigger abilities that
occur after actions are performed.
And since Saber Throw states thats its considered an attack action, you can't do saber throw - move - melee attack since that would be 2 attack actions - thankfully they put that little caveat there to make sure it doesn't happen.
Edited by KalandrosThanks everyone, for some reason I just read it as a free action... not attack action.
My bad, problem solved!
Perhaps in the demo you saw, they player had used the "Implacable" priority card and actually activated Vader twice in that turn?
