If you feel anything is in error, please leave a comment!

Please know, that my explanations are not based on how "I" feel a card works (unless I state that) but to show credibility, know that I have TO'ed at GenCon 2019 for FFG, I ensure I'm conversing with persons that have TO'd at regionals, nationals, or worlds for Star Wars Armada.

The card or rule explanations are not officially supported by FFG.

These are rulings by human beings working with what we're currently given by FFG. FFG can (and likely will) make changes or clarifications that will either coincide or invalidate what is said.

Release - Version 1.0.1 - May 1st 2020 - Current Release

“Lastastronaut” on the FFG forums asks a very interesting question about the Ketsu Onyo squadron. Which has led to a new clarification / interaction.
“Ghost in the Machine” on Armada Discord asked about how ACM / XI7 interact, which has led to a new discovery of interaction between these two card effects.

Minor editing corrections / spell check.

Release - Version 1.0.3 - August 1st 2020 -
Aug 5th Update - Corrected LTT interaction. It is add 2 dice of a single color, not any colors. (no mixing)

Found and added interaction between Rift Ambush Special Rule and Admiral Ozzel (Officer). (Or rather, they don’t)

Found interaction with “Blinded Gunners”, that accuracy icons (or its die) cannot be spent to fuel card effects like Leading shots or Admiral Screed .

RRG on Salvo, further clarified that it is a declared and committed attack with no option of “not attacking”

Corrected Salvo and Solar Corona interaction. Salvo is affected by this objective's special rule.

“Rasproteus” asked an interesting question regarding XX-9 Turbolasers and Structural Damage . These entries have been updated to reflect what is ultimately a very complicated interaction that cannot be answered without direct developer input.

RRG Effect use and timing updated regarding the word “Then” by Judge Ian Cross.

RRG Step 5 of an attack updated with clarification by Judge Ian Cross.


RRG Damage card Structural Damage entry updated regarding interaction with XX-9 Turbolasers .

XX-9 Turbolasers entry updated.

Minor editing corrections / spell check.
