Can I activate Darth's ability whenever I want???
EXAMPLE: I deploy Darth Vader, I play Force Choke, then Dark Precognition. Can I activate Darth's ability when I play Dark Precognition which is the second event in turn or I must deal Vader's damage during the first event I played????
Reactions unless they say Forced are always optional. Those are both Sith event cards so you could choose when to trigger his Reaction.
Can someone clarify how Vader's reaction works against Old Ben's spirit enhancement? If A force choke event would kill Yoda (1 hp remaining), but the enhancement saves Yoda as a unit, can Vader still target his reaction on that same unit? Might be a no-brainer, but me and some friends had a discussion about the resolving of the reactions. Does Vaders reaction go first and together with the force choke (meaning overscore on Yoda)? Or does the force choke itself trigger the reaction of Old Ben first, meaning Vader's reaction can still be applied to the remaining Yoda card?
1. Force choke enters play. Your opponent targeted Yoda. If he has only one HP left, he is dead and now response of Old Ben's spirit trigered.
2. Remove all wound tokens and Old Ben's spirit from Yoda.
3, Now you may play vadre's reaction on force choke - Yoda may receive another one damage but he is still in play.
Is that because Old Ben's Spirit's ability is an Interrupt?

Is that because Old Ben's Spirit's ability is an Interrupt?


Yes.

An interrupt effect is considered to be resolved before
the triggering condition is allowed to complete -- often
cancelling or changing the outcome of the triggering
condition.
Thanks for clearing that up! In the end DS won the game anyway (:P), but at least now we'll know how to go about this in future matches.

Could you give an example of playing "reaction" of this card? 

The whole thing about reactions and events is a bit unclear to me.

Should I play this card from the hand to use this reaction or this card should be on the table as a unit?

You can only choose to trigger Vader's reaction if he is on the table. If you play a Sith event card, you may trigger his reaction and deal one damage to a target unit.

In other words, from the moment I play or put into play this card?

And what if this card is focused?

One more question: after I deal 1 damage to a target unit should I focus Darth Vader?

And what if this card is focused?

Doesn't matter if Vader is focused or not, as the reaction doesn't require you to focus him for it to take effect. As long as Vader is on the table and you play a Sith event, you can trigger his reaction (with the limit once per turn). He could have a million focus tokens on him and you could still trigger his reaction.

 

 

One more question: after I deal 1 damage to a target unit should I focus Darth Vader?

No. As said, his reaction doesn't demand you to focus him.

What if you play a sith event in an edge battle, does it activate Vader's reaction then too?

What if you play a sith event in an edge battle, does it activate Vader's reaction then too?

 

Yes. As long as you haven't triggered the ability that turn already.

What sort of event could you play in an edge battle?  I thought that the only cards that have effects during edge battles are fate cards, which are neutral.  Have I been playing this wrong?

Yes. As long as you haven't triggered the ability that turn already.


This is wrong. If you put a sith event in an edge battle it certainly doesn't trigger Vader's reaction, and there is no sith events that can be played during an edge battle, at least at the moment.

I think the OP is misspeaking when he says "play a sith event during an edge battle". I think he's referring to putting a sith event into an edge battle.

I was wrong in assuming he meant before or after an edge battle. I didn't mean for it to read as if the event cards placed in an edge stack can be resolved.
