The only way for Soontir to amass stress tokens endlessly is getting them from an external ability, like an enemy's Tactician. He cannot take actions while stressed the way Tycho can. It's very important for Soontir to manage his stress levels or he generally struggles to keep using his ability.

You can only spend the same type of token for the same effect once per opportunity. So if you have 3 evade tokens and your enemy rolls 3 hits against your 0 evade results, you can spend 1 evade token to add 1 evade result, but not the other two. If you have 3 focus tokens you could spend one to turn focuses into evades, but not the other two for that same effect (focuses are special because spending more wouldn't help -- you have no eyes left to change). However, if you have different ways to spend the same token, you can spend once per effect. For example, you have Calculation plus 2 focus tokens, and roll at least 2 focus results in your attack: you can spend one focus on Calculation to turn a focus into a crit, and another focus token to turn remaining focuses into hits.

As I said above, once per opportunity. Each attack roll and defense roll you make is a separate opportunity. If you have 3 evade tokens and 3 foes attack you, you can spend one evade token per time you defend.

Here's the process for getting 2 focuses and one evade. Start with a Focus Action, getting one focus token. Then use Push The Limit to take an Evade action. PTL adds 1 stress, which triggers Soontir's ability and adds a focus token. You now have two focuses and one evade. (btw you can reverse the actions: evade first and then focus). You can only take a Focus action on the same ship once per round, but being assigned focus tokens by an ability ignores this limit because they're not "taking a focus action".

I hope all that was clear and helpful!
