Interaction of R2-A6 with seasoned navigator

By xanatos135, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello everybody.

So my question is, imagine I have Oddball in his ARC-170 with both seasoned navigator and R2-A6.

Both abilities trigger at the same time, so I can activate both the same turn, choosing the order. If I use first R2-A6 to change speed and then navigator to change bearing it makes sense that the final maneuver's difficulty is increased, but what if I do it the other way around?

I understand that, if I use first navigator it tells me to set the dial to a different non red maneuver and increase the difficulty when I execute that maneuver, but If I apply then R2-A6, setting the dial to a different one, that final maneuver won't have its difficulty increased.

Am I understanding this right? What do you think?

That sounds accurate, but honestly, basically everything about manouevre changing is up in the air at the moment so who knows.

First.

I don't quite know what is what at the moment with changing maneuvers and their difficulty given the new information on "revealed dials." This one though is a bit easier.

Were we playing whichever change you made last would be the "actionable" one. Navigator last increased difficulty. R2-A6 last difficulty as presented on dial. Neither card demands a specific difficulty to be allowed to set a new maneuver. Neither card demands a specific difficulty for the newly set maneuver. So choose the most convenient order.

Well as long as he isn't interacting with some "revealed dial" ability it should be manageable.

R2-A6 on Ric though...

Throw in Saesee Tiin for added confusion.

I tried to upload the images but it told me they were too heavy. I have no idea how you did it.

I went to the official squad-builder. Looked the cards up in the database. Clicked on the card. Right-clicked on the card and clicked "copy image address." Then I pasted that into my post.

Should we try to find the most confusing changing maneuvers lists and then matchups? I can't seem to complicate this up any more for Republic.

Leia/Hera/Nien is probably the most confusing current version.

I think you need to throw Lando and a couple of Seasoned Navigators in there don't you?
