Card Text
Shields 1
Pay 4 Force For this attack, roll only 1 of your dice instead of a number of dice equal to this unit's power. If you roll a 1, 2, or 3, nothing happens. If you roll a 4, 5, or 6, discard the defending unit. Play only if Anakin's N-1 Starfighter is attacking.
Usage Notes
This effect replaces the number of dice rolled for an attack, setting it to one.
If the 1-die attack results in a hit, that damage may still be prevented.
If the damage is prevented, its ability has no effect.
Accuracy, Armor, and Lucky can affect the roll, and the roll still determines Critical Hit and Parry.
Because it is an attack, players may still apply Retaliate and Overkill to this 1-die attack.
Since the effect overrides the attacking unit's power, Shields has no effect on the 1-die attack roll.
Vader's TIE Figher (C) retreats instead if Darth Vader is in any arena.
Keywords
- Shields
- Shields X: A cumulative, static ability that means, "The attacking unit gets –X power against this unit." Shields only matters when attack dice are rolled. If you give a unit Shields after your opponent has rolled for damage, it doesn't affect the roll.
