Timing
This Upgrade Card resolves during the “Resolve Damage” step before a friendly ship or squadron suffers damage, but after the attacker determines a critical effect, if applicable.
Clarifications
This Upgrade Card’s effect shares the same timing as Brace, so the defender can choose which is resolved first. However there is no benefit to applying this Upgrade Card’s effect until after Brace.
This Upgrade Card is able to be used on friendly Unarmed Stations in Station Assault.
This Upgrade Card’s ship is able to choose itself as a target. For example, if the ship were attacked in the rear hull zone, you could choose to resolve this Upgrade Card and suffer up to 2 damage on the front zone.
If one of your squadrons is attacked by “Dutch” Vander or an Exogorth, if this Upgrade Card is able to prevent that squadron from “suffering” any damage, then those effects would not resolve as that squadron did not “suffer” damage.
This Upgrade Card is only able to be used on damage from “attacks”, not on any damage resulting outside of an “attack” such as obstacle damage, mines, or Cluster Bombs, as these are not attacks.
