Rule[]
A critical effect, denoted by the “
:” header, can resolve if there is at least one icon in the attack pool.
- The attacker can resolve only one critical effect per attack.
- The attacker does not spend a die icon to resolve a critical effect unless the effect says otherwise.
- Critical effects resolve at the beginning of the Resolve Damage step of an attack.
- The standard critical effect is “
: If the defender is dealt at least one damage card by this attack, deal the first damage card faceup.” - Squadrons cannot suffer critical effects unless otherwise specified. Only Squadrons with the Bomber keyword can resolve critical effects.
