Question regarding the number of times one can trigger Hera's pilot ability during an attack/defense engagement: Hera's ability reads: "While another friendly ship at range 1-2 defends or performs an attack, during a Modify Dice step, you may transfer 1 of your focus tokens, evade tokens, or locks to that ship."
Example: Benthic Two Tubes is at range for Hera's ability to apply and is engaged as the defender in an attack. Benthic has no tokens; Hera has a focus and an evade token. The attacker rolls his attack dice, next during the modify attack dice step, the attacker changes a focus to a hit and then (per Hera's ability) Hera transfers a focus token to Benthic. Next, Benthic rolls his defense dice, rolling a focus and a blank. Next would come the modify the defense dice step; can Hera now pass the evade token to Benthic? I.e. this would mean that Hera can potentially trigger 2 times per attack/defense. My initial thought was yes since Hera's ability does not dictate a specific modify dice step (attack/defence/etc.). Also, because her ability triggers once per modify dice step is how I was interpreting it. Clarification would be appreciated.
