Probe Droid

ASK FANTASY FLIGHT 

Q: Assume both the DS and LS player are one objective away from winning and both have an objective with one damage missing before destruction. Luke Skywalker (Core) is engaged as an attacker against the DS objective with a Probe Droid as the lone defender. The LS wins edge and strikes first with Luke. Which player's objective will be destroyed first?

A: When Luke strikes, his controller gets to determine the order in which his combat icons (by type) resolve. So he can either resolve his "Blast" icons and deal damage to the objective first (thereby destroying it and winning the game), or he can resolve his "Unit damage" icons and deal damage to the Probe Droid first, which would allow it to trigger its response, killing the LS objective.

So the order of icon resolution is in the striking player's hand, and he would determine who wins in this example by deciding which of Luke's icon types to resolve first.
