Advanced SLAM and Black One

By Dark Canuck, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Basically I am wondering if I put the Black One title on Nien and gave him Pattern Analyzer and Advanced Slam would I be able to conduct a turn like:

4 forward, SLAM to 4Kturn

and then get both the action for advanced SLAM and Pattern Analyzer, or is it just one or the other that occurs?

You'd get both. But its a 4 point, 1 turn gimmick. I don't know if its worth it

But doing this on turn one or two a joust basically starts you behind your opponent. I like the sound of that

Order of events:

  • Manouvre
    • Reveal Dial
    • 4 Forward
  • Perform Action
    • SLAM
      • 4 K-turn (red)
      • Pattern Analyser interrupt (Free Action, potentially linked to another action via Poe's ability or Integrated S-Foils if you don't mind having two stress tokens)
      • Receive Stress
      • Manouvre Complete
    • SLAM complete
    • Advanced SLAM triggers
      • Stressed from K-Turn - cannot perform actions (aside from boost or barrel roll if Primed Thrusters equipped, but that would also take your Tech slot) - Free Action Skipped
    • Black One Triggers
      • Lose charge
      • Option to remove disarm token in exchange for an ion token

Basically, you can never get both Pattern Analyser and Advanced SLAM to trigger on the same SLAM move.

It also leaves a very expensive ship ionized and stressed, so be careful what you wish for.

So this is where Nien's ability would come in. Afyer the red 4K, if he was range 1 with an enemy in arc, how would drop that stress token.
