Talk:"Fel's Wrath"/@comment-454133-20170425222123/@comment-454133-20170425232213

Turns out you're right. Here's what I was seeing: "number of damage cards" refers to the card count, not the total damage. Direct Hit says it counts as 2 damage. So if Fel had a face-down card and a direct hit, that's lethal damage... but the number of damage cards is only 2. In this case he wouldn't get his ability.

But when I looked up Damage in the rules reference, it said "If a ship has a number of Damage cards equal to its hull value, it is destroyed". In this case damage and damage cards are used interchangeably. But under Destroying Ships I finally got my answer: Direct Hit counts as two damage cards, even though the card just says damage.

So turns out I was wrong, but it's really confusing wording except in that one obscure place. :)
