Can someone just clarify how the Lifta Droppa works againts enemy titans please. Ive read and re-read the rules but they just dont seem clear to me.

The bit i dont understand
''In order to grab and lift a target you have to roll a D6 and beat its damage capacity (1 for vehicles; war engines have a Damage Capacity of 3 or more depending on their type).

How do i know what type the war engine is? Does it mean that I can only pick up and drop a titan once its DC has been reduced to 3? or does it mean that i just have to roll over 3 for any war engine regardless of DC?

Also the rules say that you roll for catastrophic damage on war engines. Is this right? I wondered if it should have been Critical Damage instead. It just seems very powerful.

Basically, if you roll over the target's current Damage Capacity it's dead. Rolling catastrophic damage for war engines is right as you've just effectively dropped it's DC to 0.
Therefore, you can only pick up and drop a titan when it's DC has been reduced to 5 or less, as anything higher can't be beaten on a d6.

The aside about the type of war engine is just making the point that a Warhound has a different DC than a Reaver has, for example.

edit: slight clarification
