Expert Handling FAQ

By zhentil, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Okay after reading the new FAQ on Expert Handling. I was wondering say I put that on an A-wing. I move my A-Wing, then use my action to boost. Now with EH do I also get to do a free barrel roll? I am new so I just want to be sure that all my actions are done and not cheating lol.

A ship can only perform one action per round. An A-Wing (Green Squadron) with expert handling has five actions to choose from. It can only perform one of them:

  • Focus
  • Target lock
  • Evade
  • Boost
  • The action from the Expert Handling card

If you had push the limits or received a free action for example from Lando, you can use both expert handling and boost in the same round, but under normal circumstances an a wing would only be allowed to do one action and expert handling requires an action as does boost.

Note that this is true for all cards that have the text: "Action: [do some stuff]." This includes a handful of Critical Damage cards as well as several upgrade cards. Using that ability will use your action for the round. It just happens in the case of Expert Handling that using that action also includes doing a free Barrel Roll in addition to the rest of the Action's text.
