Field Test

[NeaTheOutcast]

For clarification reasons, most Prototypes have Versatile, once per activation. Prince Unathi’s Field Test ability allows a fire team to take an action on a prototype. So can you use a prototype gun on Prince Unathi’s activation via Field Test, then again on the unit’s activation later/earlier the same turn? Note that you need a card to discard every time for the Prototype and you need to succeed the Field Test flip for this to even come into question.

For a simplified example to the question, can you use the Zeppelin Bombardment action (on the Flare Gun prototype asset card) twice in one turn as long as one action is during the unit’s activation (Metal Sefari for example) and one action is during the commander’s activation (due to triggered Field Test ability)?

Yes, Versatile actions are once per activation so the unit can use it on its own activation and then Prince can have them use it on his activation.

As an aside, pretty sure Field Test removes the need to discard a card.

It just lets you draw a card after the action.  You still need to have the card to discard to take the action (for the 85% of the time you’ll need to discard).

Yeah you still need to discard one (barring Electrocutioners), it just lets you draw back up after.
