Using TTS for these quick tips is infinitely better. Love it!

[@cloudgable8275]

Just want to show you guys the math with some minor corrections. It's not always better to not evade when rolling 4 or more green dice:
1) 3 reds vs 4 greens with FOCUS:
w/ naked = 0.153 hits
w/ focus = 0.35 hits
w/ focus + lock = 0.566 hits
2) 3 reds vs 4 greens with EVADE:
w/ naked = 0.141 hits
w/ focus = 0.348 hits
w/ focus + lock = 0.578 hits
Conclusion: Evade when you roll 4 green dice unless your opponent has focus+lock
3) 3 reds vs 5 greens with FOCUS:
w/ naked = 0.075 hits
w/ focus = 0.182 hits
w/ focus + lock = 0.303 hits
4) 3 reds vs 5 greens with EVADE:
w/ naked = 0.095 hits
w/ focus = 0.241 hits
w/ focus + lock = 0.409 hits
Conclusion: Always focus if you roll 5 green dice

Could you do a Quick Tip on gaining/transferring tokens?

[@leetaylor5470]

Answer.......when you have juke lol

[@TheTYMONGER]

Trying to get back into the game from Pre 2.0. What does Jam Token do?

[@kalebstateler2938]

Unrelated question that you might be able to do a video on: The resistance crew card Leia Organa is the only crew or gunner in the game that I know of who has 1 force but she doesn’t have a +1 for the sign. So this means Leia on a falcon piloted by Rey should only let Rey use her original 2 force, but would Leia be able to use all 3 force on the ship?

[@diamend85]

interesting.. did you find out more?

[@kalebstateler2938]

@@diamend85 The only answer I’ve got are that it’s likely a misprint, otherwise it would most likely have been made a bigger issue by now

[@RickAntilles]

I know my Soontir dice - in no universe I'm getting THIS low damage with focus, double focus or focus+evade lol

[@anakinstwin202]

Dion,
For those of us that are mathematically challenged, what's the actual math equation for this?

[@Oli186]

Probability of an eyeball on a green dice is 2/8 (so a quarter).
If you roll 4 green dice, that's a chance of 2/8 x 4 = 1. So when you are rolling 4 green dice your chances of rolling a focus result is the same as converting one result into an evade. You also have reasonable odds of rolling more than one eyeball result. So if you are chosing whether to take a focus or evade token it's normally worth looking at how many green dice you are rolling.
As a rule of thumb, if you are purely looking to avoid damage, evade is best if 3 or fewer dice. Focus is best with 4 or greater. Of course if you can do both, this is perfect.

Love the tips - audio seems super unsynched at times

[@GoldSquadronPodcast]

Thanks! About audio, might be a local issue for you? Looks fine on my side. Is there a part that looks particularly bad?
