From the new FAQ: • A SymbioMate provides its user with ARM and BTS values of 9 replacing the ARM and BTS values of the user's Unit Profile and it also provides the Immunity (Total) Special Skill. In addition, the SymbioMate is also used and applied against Comms Attacks. So... I can hack away a pokemon? And reading the bolded part.. Spotlight ARO's just makes a SymbioMate go away now? Am I grossly misreading this?
Page 7 of the FAQ: EQUIPMENT What happens if a Trooper with SymbioMate is hit by Spotlight? Spotlight doesn't trigger the SymbioMate, because it doesn't cause a Saving Roll.
