I’m a noob playing with my 11yrs old son. So we often struggle with rules, I think we are getting better, but so many rules!!! So please be gentle 🙂
We’re trying to understand how/when to use Chewbacca as a Crew. The cards reads: "at the start of the engagement phase, you may spend 2 [energy] to repair 1 face up damage card"
The last time we played, there were multiple times I thought it would be possible to use it. But at the end we didn’t. I think the confusion starts because from our understanding of the rules, critical damage cards (face up) need to be resolved immediately. The 2 examples I have are fuel leak and direct hit.
For Direct Hit: “Suffer 1 [hit] damage then repair this card”, my understanding is that you need to immediately get another facedown damage card and also turn this card facedown, leaving no chance for Chewbacca to “repair” the face up damage card before the effect of the card is resolved.
For Fuel Leak: “After you suffer 1 [critical] damage, suffer 1 [hit] damage and repair this card. Action: repair this card”, again resolving it immediately, leaves no chance for Chewbacca to repair. This one trying to explain now feels like shouldn’t be resolved immediately.
Needless to say we’re having tons of fun playing this during this quarantine.
