Force barrier and impact

[Berbelek]

Hi,

What is the order when I use a force barrier? If someone shoots at my AT-ST with impact can I force barrier 2 normal hits and then apply impact?

Hello,

First, the Force Barrier Upgrade Card is used "While another allied Trooper unit within Range 1 defends against a Ranged attack...". As an AT-ST is a Ground Vehicle, and not a Trooper, Force Barrier cannot be used when it is defending.

If you are using Force Barrier on an eligible Trooper unit with the Armor X keyword, follow the timing given in the Modify Attack Dice step: the attacker resolves effects that modify the attack dice before the defender. So Impact X will be applied (by the attacker) before hit or critical results are removed by Force Barrier (by the defender).

Hope this helps,
Seth
