Quad-Tap Ghost?

By AT Leader, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can the Second Edition Ghost with Ezra Crew and docked Attack’s shuttle perform four attacks? It would use the same stacking idea as the IG/Bossk triple tap.

Ghost primary —> Rear Arc (triggered by primary) —> Ezra Turret (triggered off primary) —> Rear Arc (triggered off turret)

Apologies for the condensed explanation as I am on my phone.

Rules limit of 1 bonus attack per round.

So, basically, while you could have 3/4 of your arcs covered (front, one side, rear), you'll only ever get 2 shots with the Ghost per turn. You can use Tail Gun to chain from front primary (ghost) to rear primary (shuttle) or turret, or use Ezra to chain front or rear primary to turret. Still, that's 2 shots when you'd usually only get one...

Good point... Han Gunner is thus far the only card we've seen that allows you to perform an attack outside of your normal engagement, that isn't declared as a "bonus attack" (of which you're limited to only one per turn). Han is limited to only turret-arc attacks, though, and doesn't allow a double-tap out of the same turret arc... so on a Ghost + shuttle, you're basically limited to "just" turret at 7, then front-to-back at your regular initiative (only three attacks... darn ;) ).

Bonus attacks are specifically 'after attacking' triggers, which is presumably why Han isn't one.
