"detonates at the end of the activation phase"

at this end of MY activation phase or just before combat phase ?

The text seems to tell "not yours but THE phase".. but how do you interprete Swarm tactics ? on this card it's wrote "at the start of the combat phase", but when do you announce the effect: between the action and the fire of the highest skill pilot, or do you wait the start of the combat phase of the ship ? (of his turn)


It's the same of me, especially because siesmic charges effect begin "when you reveal your dial" --> marking the beginning of YOUR activation phase (first step). The activation phase for this ship, who will end by his action.. and at the end: the bomb detonates.

If you disagree, then you must play Swarm tactic with your same interpretation: if someone is playing the card after the first shoot of ALL ships, it will be too late. Because it not wrote "at the start of YOUR combat phase". Why understand for a card and not an other?

Seismic charges "explode" at the end of the activation phase. That is, after all ships have moved and used their action.

Swarm Tactics can be used at the beginning of the combat phase. That is, before any ships have started firing but after the entire activation phase is finished.

Ok I understand when, but how is damage dealt with siesmic charge and how much?

Nevermind it helps when I actually read the card….

I love the seismic charge! I just wish you could take 2-3 of them.

Wave 3 proton bomb

Sismic charges

Mine

Imperials get all the cool stuff
