Effect Icons

Effect Icons are the damage, buff, debuff etc caused by Attacks. Each effect icon listed on an attack is applied once, moving from left to right and resolving each icon one at a time.

Impact
Effect Type: Damage

Each instance of the Impact effect that is not canceled causes the target to receive a Damage Point. When applying Damage Points to a Capital, if the Capital would receive more Damage Points than it has remaining spaces on its damage track, do not deal Damage Points to the Capital after it reaches the end of its damage track (Exception: If the attack/attacker has the Devastate special rule, in which case immediately resolve a Critical on the capital when it maxes its damage track, then continue applying Impact Icons.).

Wound
 Effect Type: Damage

Wound only affects Units and has no effect against Capitals. Each instance of the Wound effect that is not canceled forces the target to discard its highest Pilot level card. If there is only one Pilot card on the Unit (EG a Level 1 Pilot), the Pilot is discarded, and the Unit is destroyed as it is now Unmanned.

Impede
Effect Type: Debuff

Impede only affects Units and has no effect against Capitals. Each instance of the Impede effect causes the owner of the target to send a card from the top of their deck to the discard pile. For each instance, the owner of the target may choose to ignore the effect icon by paying 1 Command.

Lock
Effect Type: Debuff

Lock only affects Units and has no effect against Capitals. Each instance of the Lock effect gives the target a Lock Token.

Lock Token: A Unit with a Lock Token cannot Shift. After a Unit activates, it removes all Lock tokens it has.

Repair
Effect Type: Buff

Repair only affects Units and has no effect against Capitals. Each instance of the Repair effect removes a Damage Point from the target.

Shield
Effect Type: Buff

Each instance of the Shield effect grants the target a Shield Token.

Shield Token: When a Damage effect would be dealt, if you have one or more Shield Tokens, discard a Shield token and cancel that effect icon. At the start of your turn, all of your Units remove any Shield Tokens they have.
