Detonate

How this card works

The target is the Gear's own power, not the power of the Unit carrying it. For 1 Eddie you defeat a rival Gear with power 2 or less, which covers most cheap equipment. Since a Unit adds the power of its Gear, removing one also makes the Unit weaker before a fight.

Good targets include Riot Shield, power 1, which gives Blocker and makes you pay +2 Eddies for Go Solo, and Deadman Transmitter, also power 1. The Transmitter only protects the Unit, so the Gear itself is defeated normally when you target it.

Quick lets you play it in response to a rival Unit's attack as well as in your own Main phase. The FAQ confirms it can hit Gear on a face-up Legend, and that you can play it when your Rival has no Gear. It needs 2 Red RAM.
