2.0 Kavil

By DanteStorm, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So, in 2.0 Kavil's ability says: "While performing a non-front attack, roll 1 additional die."

This means, if I have dorsal turret equiped, and have it facing forward, it's still a turret attack, it's just facing forward, so i still roll an additional attack die right?

No, the icon on Kavil’s card doesn’t indicate a primary attack, just the forward arc.

Also, Rules Reference states that a turret arc is a normal (front, left, right, back) arc with a turret indicator inside.

So if you put your turret indicator in the front arc, it becomes a turret arc, but it is still the front arc.

The turret arc indicator points toward one of ship’s four standard arcs. The standard arc that the turret arc indicator is pointing toward is a [turret arc] in addition
to still being a standard arc
