 Attacks can be prevented if:

 The agency controlled unit will attack before the [[:guard]] has a chance to raise the [[:alarm level|alarm tracker]], shout, or anything else.
-Note that if an agency controlled unit is [[:guard_behaviour#overwatched]], the agency controlled unit will remain on overwatch stance, and if they attack as a result of being in this stance, the overwatching agency controlled unit will immediately be shot. If the unit entered overwatch stance after being [[:guard_behaviour#overwatched]], the original overwatcher will shoot first (but in this case, you can simply attack instead of overwatching, provided your weapon is able to attack the [[:guard_behaviour#overwatch|overwatching]] enemy.

 If a unit makes an attack during the [[:corporation]]'s turn while on overwatch, it consumes the previous turn's attack. Therefore, the unit will be able to attack next turn.
-===== Armor Piercing =====
-Some attacks have **armor piercing**, which allows them to be used on targets with the same or less [[:armor]] than the armor piercing of the attack.
-An attack's armor piercing is determined by adding the following values:
-  * The armor piercing of the [[:weapon]] used for the attack
-  * Armor piercing provided by [[:augments]] such as [[:augments:Penetration Scanner]], [[:augments:Piercing Scanner]], [[:augments:Enhanced Optics]], [[:augments:Kinetic Capacitor]], or [[:augments:Modular Cybernetic Frame X2]]
-  * Armor piercing provided by the use of a [[:items:Ventricular Lance]] this turn
-There is no benefit for having more armor piercing than the target has armor; an attack either can or cannot hit  a target.
