Manaroo Passes Red TLs (email from Frank)

[WWHSD 9,273]

Just leaving this here to have a discussion thread to link to from the email collection thread.

 

 

In response to your rules question:

 Rules Question:
Can Manaroo pass red targetlocks onto another ship when she passes focus, evade, and blue targetlock tokens assigned to her ship?

Yes, in fact if you choose to use her ability you must. When you use Manaroo’s ability, you assign all focus, evade, and target lock tokens (red and blue) to the friendly ship.

 

Thanks for playing,

Which i find to be utter BS and makes 0 sense that you can pass a lockon from a computer you arent operating to another ship, but ruling is a ruling.

Wasn't that shown in the reveal article for Manaroo?   As in they were trying to show how a target lock from Vader/Omega Leader could me moved from manaroo to another target type thing.....

I didn't realize this was a discussion, this always seemed straightforward and leads to some fun games of chicken where manaroo can actually have to pick carefully which ship gets her tokens so they don't get torpedoed.

Never trust an article.

 

The discussion was is a red target lock "yours."

 

Though i did use it after this was the general consensus (i emailed that eons ago and only got a response a couple days ago) as she does pass red targetlocks to my advantage. Two bombers dont have arc on her, but have arc on Fenn, who just did a red move so he NEEDS those tokens/TLs. Do you risk it?

He didnt. So backdraft ate him lol (escal tourny)

I figured it was better to include it in the email response thread since there is no Manaroo entry in the FAQ yet. The email confirms that you can't selectively pass tokens as well, so it probably clarifies the couple of questions that people might have the first time that they encounter the card.

 

I created the discussion thread for it because I prefer linking to something outside of the thread itself in the event that there is a discussion to keep that thread easier to read (especially, when one of the rulings is contentious) and not because I thought that the reply really needed to be discussed.
