    Greetings.

    In the active turn I have a core linked Crane with. Spitfire. He picks one reactive trooper to shoot at.

    The crane has 5 dice to roll. His target number is 10.

    The reactive troop has 1 dice to roll. Its target number is 14.

    We roll off.

    The Crane rolls a 10, 9, 7,5 and a 18. That is one crit, 3 hits, and a miss.

    The reactive trooper rolls an 11. That is one hit and higher than the cranes rolls.

    Now, the Cranes crit will cancel the reactive troopers normal hit.

    What happenes with the Cranes remaning successfull attaks?

    Does the 11 still cancel them?

    A critical success cancels all opposing non-critical successes. Numeric comparison doesn’t matter. (If both sides have critical successes, everything cancels.). So it’s common to explain this as critical successes being “higher” than non-criticals.

    Cancelled successes still cancel out lower opposing successes.
    still
    So your situation:
    The crane’s target number is 10. It’s successes are 10 (critical), 9, 7, 5
    Reactive troop’s target number is 14. It has a success of 11.

    That 11 cancels the 9, 7 and 5 And is cancelled by the critical success. So the final result is just the one critical hit.

    Edit: For the record, I should have written “equal or lower” instead of “lower”. Because ties cancel out.
