Hydra Assault KO interaction with Escort to Safety/Lifesaver/Eye in the Sky etc

[Hamicron]

Hi Rules Forum

What happens when Hydra Troopers use Hydra Assault and in the subsequent attack action the target is Life Savered/ Escorted etc out of range of attack?

Do they KO themselves at the end of the initial attack after Life Saver is resolved? Do they KO themselves after taking the additional action granted (that they choose as an attack action)? Do they avoid KOing themselves entirely?

Thank you

Both effects on the attack from Hydra Assault are applicable only to the next attack action the troops make that turn.

If they Hydra Assault and then perform an attack action, but that attack action is ended by any of the mentioned effects, the attack ends in Step 2, but was still made.

No, as they never reach step 14 of the attack that this effect applies to

No, as the effect isn't applicable to that attack.

They avoid KOing themselves from the effects of that use of Hydra Assault.
