In the Rules Reference on page 10 the verbiage is: "... a ship can spend one or more of its evade tokens to change that many..."

Same for Calculate.

so... can I spend 1 or can I spend multiple?

As many as you want. Rules reference overrides all. Makes calculate stacks better for Brobots and whatnot.

Excellent. Thank you.

" While an evading ship defends, during the
Modify Defense Dice step, it can spend one or more evade tokens to change
that many of its blank or [Focus] results to [evade] results."

Sounds like it's pretty clear that you can spend as many as you have but are limited to the number of green dice that rolled blank or focus.

However, if you roll all evades and you still have one or more evade tokens and your opponent rolls/converts all his dice to hits and has more attack dice than you have defense dice, the tokens are not going to give you added evades.

So: if a 1 agility Y-wing with an evade token is attacked by a 3 attack dice Interceptor and they get all hits and you roll one evade, you still only evade one of the 3 hits, despite having the evade token.

The skill it takes to avoid getting hit has just been raised...

There has got to be a scary combo of evade stacking out there that makes it very very hard to put any damage through. There must be a terrifying Jyn eros build that can let an a-wing sit with 3 evade tokens.

I suppose you can focus fire through but its a scary thought.

In my experience there is no such thing as skill. At least in my case ?
