Sorry if this has been addressed before.

 

Ataru Training

While enhanced unit is participating in an engagement, it gains: "Reaction: After you win an edge battle by 2 or more Force icons, destroy a target participating enemy unit."

 

 

Is this different for attacking versus defending?  

Essentially 

Scenario 1: LS player is attacking.  When edge stacks are revealed, DS has 1 pip, LS has 3 pips, ataru training goes off.  Makes sense

Scenario 2: LS player defending.  Edge stacks revealed.  DS has 2 pips.  LS has 3 pips.  Since defender wins a tie does this count as winning an edge battle by 2 or more?

I might need some more clarification on your question but I'll try to answer.

 

Ataru Training reacts after you win an edge battle BY 2 or more, not after you win an edge battle WITH 2 or more icons. So Ataru Training will react if the Light Side wins the edge battle, AND has 2 or more icons than the Dark Side. It doesn't matter if they are defending or attacking.

being the defender or not has no impact on winning an edge battle by 2 or more with ataru training.  Winning an edge battle by 2 or more is just that, winning an edge battle by 2 or more force icons.  The Edge ability affects this but even when your tied in edge count as the defender, you don't get added force pips, you just win ties as thats what the rules state.

Makes sense.  This is what I anticipated, but wanted to have it confirmed.
