Beam

Weapon Keyword[]

A weapon with the Beam X keyword fires a continuous beam of energy, sweeping across swaths of enemies and dealing massive damage. During the Declare Additional Defenders step of an attack, if a weapon with the Beam X keyword is in a unit's attack pool, that unit may declare up to x additional attacks using only the weapon with the Beam X keyword.

Each additional attack must be declared against a different defender that is at range 1 of the last defender declared.

• Each unit that is declared as a defender against one of the additional attacks can be beyond the maximum range of the weapon with Beam X, as long that defender is at range 1 of the previously declared defender.

• Each additional defender must be in line of sight of the attacker.

• Other friendly units cannot use the Fire Support keyword during the additional attacks made with Beam X.

• Additional defenders are declared by repeating steps 1 and 2 of the attack sequence. Additional defenders are declared one at a time.

» All defenders are declared before any attacks are resolved.
