Opens Surge Priority

The surge priority represents the order in which an Imperial
figure spends B icons. If the figure has at least one B to spend,
it uses the topmost surge ability in the list that it does not skip.
The figure skips a surge ability if one of the following is true:
• It has already used that ability during this attack.
• The ability costs more B than it has remaining.
• The ability would have no effect (e.g., increasing accuracy
when the attack already has enough accuracy or attempting to
inflict a condition when the attack currently deals no damage).
Then, if the figure has any B remaining, it repeats this process,
starting from the top of the list again. If the figure cannot resolve
any surge abilities, the remaining B have no effect.
