Just to clarify, since the card does not specify 'while attacking' it's interrupt works on defense, correct?
I don't see why not, unless it's implied by "instead" since you don't usually resolve blast damage on defense.
Works on offense and defense.
It doesn't work on defense because if the striking unit is defending, its (blast) icon type does not resolve.
Edit: yeah I should have read the entire card again. Definitely can't be used on defense, because it states that you can assign the blast damage to a participating unit INSTEAD of the engaged objective. You don't engage objectives on defense.
Not so simple, actually. The trigger timing is when the unit is focused to strike, yes, but as blast damage is not resolved when defending (pg 21), there's never [blast] damage to assign to a participating unit instead of the engaged objective. I'll double check this one with FFG, but my initial read is that the ability effectively does nothing on defense.
Bummer, there goes my godly defender.
But you can target different units with the regular unit damage and the converted blast, right?
I think so. You are not exactly converting Blast damage to unit damage here. But instead, you are moving your Blast damage to a participating unit. So they are still different types and can be dished out separately.
Good question.
