Jyn Odan quickdraw question?

[Wolfren696 7]

Hello Everyone,  I'm new to the game and last night a questions came about Jyn Odan quickdraw ability? Does her quickdraw  counts as an activation? or Is this a free ability that she can use once per turn anytime even is she is not on her activation phase?

Welcome to IA! Here is a link to a good explanation on the timing of quick draw. Basically it's an interrupt at the start of another figures activation, so it's a "free" attack outside her normal activation. Can be done once per round, or once per activation token if playing with less than four heroes.

@totalnoob Thank you for your quick response and warm welcome . Can I ask you another question but this one is about weapons. Can a hero have 2 weapons at once and use both of them in his activation phase?

In a campaign a hero can take up to 2 weapons (also 1 armor, and 3 accessories) to a mission.  When a hero declares their attack the choose which weapon the are using.  So yes, and yes.

Quick Draw is an interrupt happening outside of Jyn's activation. Only one figure is activating at a time. It is still the activation of the figure who Jyn must attack (if possible - technically Jyn does not need to have line of sight to the activating figure to be able to activate Quick Draw).

· During a campaign, when a hero declares the target of his attack he must also declare one of his weapons to use for this attack.

Also note that Quick Draw is not an action. It is an ability with a strain cost, it does not cost an action.

Wow so that hero can attack twice with 2 different guns in his activation!!! That's pretty brutal.

To Clarify, each attack can only be made with one weapon (unless a special ability says otherwise)

So the Hero could bring two weapons, and attack once with each, twice with one or twice with the other.

But not twice with both.

@Majushi Just to summarize what you said. A hero that carries 2 weapons can attack with both weapons once each per activation. Am I right!

[a1bert 4,115]

Don't make it too complicated.

When a hero declares an attack, that hero also declares which weapon to use for that attack (unless an ability already specifies the weapon, or attack type and attack pool). There is no limit to the number of times a weapon can be used per activation.

Note that due to abilities a hero may be able to attack more than twice per activation.

Well, yes and no.

Yes, the hero can do that.

but doesn't have to do that.

the hero may carry up to two weapons

the hero may attack using either weapon.

each attack may be done with one of those two weapons, so long as the weapon selected for the attack is legal within the action used to make the attack. (Some actions that make attacks specify the type of weapon required)

@Majushi That makes sense a lot. I'm going to print this and put it in my rule book. Thank you. One last question; Do the Imperial needs to roll his defense dice every time Jyn use her quickdraw ability?

Yes, its just like a normal attack (she needs the proper range on the dice, your defense could block everything or cause it to miss, etc)

[a1bert 4,115]

Quick Draw allows Jyn to perform an attack. It is exactly the same as performing an attack by using the Attack action, except the target of the attack must be the activating figure. When you perform an attack, you follow all the 7 steps of an attack (actually 10, but that's advanced reading). During step 2 the defender rolls defense dice.

(Also objects can sometimes roll defense dice).
