Template:RC Backlash

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).
