Impact

WEAPON KEYWORD[]

During the “Modify Attack Dice” step of an attack, if the defender has the armor keyword, a unit whose attack pool includes a weapon that has the impact x keyword can modify the results of the attack roll by changing results to results. The unit can change a number of results to results up to the value of x.

• If the attacker is performing an attack against multiple targets, the attacker can modify only dice in the attack pool that the weapon with the impact x keyword contributed to.
• If a unit performs an attack using multiple weapons that have the impact x keyword and those weapons contribute dice to the same attack pool, the x values of each impact x keyword are cumulative.

For example, a unit that performs an attack using both a weapon that has impact 1 and a weapon that has impact 2 contribute dice to the attack pool, that attack is treated as using a weapon that has impact 3 which allows that unit to change up to three results to results.

• The attacker resolves abilities during the “Modify Attack Dice” step of an attack before the defender resolves abilities during that step. As such, the impact x keyword can be used to change results to results before the armor keyword can be used to cancel results.
