Timing
This Upgrade Card takes effect during the Resolve Damage Step; after the Spend Defense Tokens step, when the attacker chooses a critical effect to resolve.
Clarifications
You cannot resolve the same critical effect twice during the same Resolve Damage Step; you may resolve the same critical effect on two separate attacks.
The attacker chooses the order in which to resolve the critical effects.
Every ship is able to resolve the Standard Critical Effect, which is as follows: “If the defender is dealt at least one damage card by this attack, deal the first damage card face-up”. Thus, a ship may choose to exhaust this upgrade card to resolve the Standard Critical Effect and an additional one granted by an outside source, such as another upgrade card or an objective. Alternatively, a ship may choose to exhaust this upgrade card to resolve two different critical effects, neither of which is the Standard Critical Effect.
Some critical effects require a critical icon of a specific color to be present in the attack pool (such as Assault Proton Torpedoes requiring a Black critical icon). This Upgrade Card does not remove these requirements.
This Upgrade Card does not require multiple critical icons to be present in the attack pool; the same icon can satisfy the requirement for both critical effects (unless the two effects require icons of different colors, such as when a player attempts to resolve both Heavy Ion Emplacements and Assault Concussion Missiles).
Upgrade Card Interactions
If a ship equipped with this Upgrade Card resolves the effect from XX-9 Turbolasers and the Standard Critical Effect, only the first two damage cards are dealt face up. This is because both effects reference the “first” card, which is dealt face-up.
If a ship equipped with this Upgrade Card resolves the effect from Assault Proton Torpedoes and the Standard Critical Effect, the “first” card dealt to the defender will be the one dealt by Assault Proton Torpedoes and will be dealt face-up. Further damage cards will not be dealt face-up.
If a ship equipped with this Upgrade Card resolves the effect from Assault Proton Torpedoes and XX-9 Turbolasers, the “first” card will be the card dealt from Assault Proton Torpedoes. The second card, if dealt, will be dealt face-up. Further damage cards will not be dealt face-up.
