Rules Clarification : Backlash (Edit)
- Backlash doesn't affect Jack Marshals, because they don't have battlegroups.
- Backlash triggers from any damage, not just attacks. So stuff like fire and corrosion on the warjack will also cause harm to the warcaster.
- Backlash won't trigger if you take control of an enemy warjack (for example with a Machine Wraith) because it's not part of its original battlegroup while under your control (refer 'Battlegroup Commander' in the core rulebook).
- Backlash + Feedback (Edit)
- If you stack Backlash and Feedback on the same enemy warjack, then the warcaster will take two damage every time the warjack is damaged.
- Furthermore, the warcaster has to spend two focus to negate this damage.
Because it's two different effects which are both resolved at Step 10a of the Attack Sequence (Apdx A of core rulebook) but have to be resolved one at a time (refer 'Triggers' in the core rulebook).
