Kullbee + BB-8?

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Kullbee's ability : After you perform a boost or barrel roll action, you may flip your equipped "Servomotor S-foils" upgrade card.

BB-8 : When you reveal a green maneuver, you may perform a free barrel roll action.

I just want to verify that using your BB-8 Barrel Roll after a Green Bank 2 to go from "Closed" to "Attack" works.

BB-8 says when you reveal a green maneuver, so it doesn't matter that the 2-bank isn't green anymore after you flip to "Attack" correct?

BB-8 triggers a Barrel Roll right when the green maneuver is revealed. If the Bank 2 isn’t Green when Revealed, no Barrel Roll.

If you Activate with Closed face-up and reveal a Bank 2 it is considered to be Green, triggering BB-8 > Barrel Roll. That lets you then flip the card from Closed to Attack, making the Bank 2 White.

But all he cares about is when it shows up, not if it stays that color, so BB-8 would be fine

But you reveal it as green, BB-8 BR’s you, then it’s not green anymore because you flip to attack.

This seems like a pretty killer combination. At activation, you can flip it to gain your Green 2-Banks, but BB-8 gives you the flexibility to flip back to attack so you can always maintain your 3 dice. If you run PTL on Kullbee, you can Reveal a Green, BB-8 BR, then boost+flip and focus/TL after you maneuver a la Poe/T-70.

Well if you flip to Attack & push off of BB-8 on the Bank 2 you won’t clear the stress.

Oh, yeah, I got ahead of myself. I suppose you would have to take your other action first, then boost after the maneuver to flip it.

Yup. Neat combo.
