Damage can be dealt by a number of effects, including attacks, card abilities, and obstacles.
When you suffer damage, it affects shields first. Each shield token cancels one Hit Damage (
) or Crit Damage (
). If you have no shields, you instead receive damage cards: a Hit Damage deals a facedown damage card, while a Crit Damage deals a faceup damage card, and you must follow the damage card's text.
Being dealt a damage card by an effect is not the same as suffering damage. If an effect gives you a facedown or faceup damage card, shields do not block this effect.
Faceup damage cards have special effects that can hamper or a ship or threaten it with more damage, such as Blinded Pilot or Fuel Leak. For a list of all damage cards and their effects, see Damage Cards.
Expose a Damage Card[]
Exposing a damage card flips a facedown damage card faceup. This is not the same as suffering damage, but its effect (such as exposing a Direct Hit damage card) could deal additional damage.
Repairing Damage[]
If an effect instructs a player to repair a damage card, they can repair either a faceup or facedown damage card. To repair a faceup damage card, that card is flipped facedown. To repair a facedown damage card, that card is discarded to the damage card discard pile.
Damaged[]
A ship counts as "damaged" if it has one or more Damage Cards.
Having or losing shields is irrelevant -- only having a damage card counts. For example, a ship that receives a damage card directly (under its shields) from Seyn becomes damaged even though it has all its shields. A B-Wing that suffers 4 damage to its shields does not count as damaged, as it did not receive any damage cards.
