Linked Turbolaser Towers

Once per activation, a ship equipped with Linked Turbolaser Towers may add 2 dice to an attack against the first squadron it attacks during an anti-squadron attack, even if that ship performed an anti-squadron attack in a previous attack that same activation. If it does, you cannot attack additional squadrons with that attack.

A note from slicer.tools: this seemingly overrules the wording on the card that this has to be the first attack against a squadron for the entire activation. However, this effect may only be used once per activation.

Reference

Once you reach the “Resolve Attack Effects” step of an attack, if your attack pool consists of a single die and that die is removed due to an effect like Solar Corona, you are still able to resolve modifying dice effects such as adding dice to your attack pool with Linked Turbolaser Towers.

Question: I’m confused by Linked Turbolaser Towers, what does it mean “while attacking the first squadron” and the FAQ explanation, can you please explain?

Answer: This means that, once during its activation, the ship may add 2 dice to an attack against the first squadron it attacks with an attack. If you do, you cannot attack additional squadrons with that attack. This does not have to be resolved with the first attack your ship makes, only against the first squadron attacked with that attack if you wish.

Question: Can I use the add die effect from Linked Turbolaser Towers on a Proximity Mine Token?

Answer: Yes.

Reference

The ship with this card equipped can resolve this effect during any of its anti-squadron attacks but can only resolve it once during its activation. If the ship resolves this effect during an additional attack granted by another effect, such as the Ordnance Pods upgrade card, it cannot declare additional squadron targets during that attack.

You can use one attack to target a squadron with Linked Turbolaser Towers, and then if you are also equipped with an upgrade such as Gunnery Team, you may choose to conduct a separate attack from the same hullzone at other squadrons in arc/range.

Linked Turbolaser Towers cannot be used on a Quad Laser Turrets attack, as it is not “your activation”, meaning that ships activation.
