Downed ATST and dioxis grenade

By DashRendarr, in Rules

I have a couple questions. One about the downed atst and another about dioxis grenade.

I’ll start with the atst. This is about act 2. After act 1 is complete any unique units that were killed can’t be used for act 2. I understand that I can’t take them into act 2 but do I build a brand new army for act 2??. Say I use Darth Vader in act 1 and he doesn’t die. Do I have to use him for act 2?? Or can I go and make a brand new 950 point army?

And for dioxis grenade. With the 1 pip card it says do not discard this card. Does that mean as an action I can continue to use the dioxis grenade throughout the rest of the game?

thanks

I have no idea about the AT-ST question...i dont have that scenario (yet)

As for the dioxis grenade card, it tells you to keep the card in play in case you want to detonate the charge later. he cannot keep laying down charges though since it says he gain the arm keyword during the activation in which he played the card. he just keeps the detonate keyword. so its just in case you dont detonate it right away, which is kinda stupid ive always detonated it right away

I believe you make a new army

Both Rebel and Empire players should build a new army for act 2. Both are limited by any uniques killed in act 1. The Empire can build up to 950 points.
