Lots of free actions can be triggered from full actions, including multiple free actions resulting from the same initial full action.

There are several types of free actions that won’t trigger other free actions, but some that do.

Can we get a full breakdown of the nuances of free actions and triggers?

Why does UPS work with free explores, but reverse captain can’t trigger off free attacks from a regular captain? If i unload cargo to earn a free S move, can I use an S-Board during that free move?

I’d love a detailed or nuanced analysis of free actions and when they can trigger other abilities.

There isn’t a definitive list of all of the different possible triggers and chains, but if you go to the second last page of the Pirate Code there’s an “ACTION LIMIT” section that lists all of the abilities that are restricted from chaining more than once in a turn.

There’s also a “USEFUL LISTS” section a couple pages earlier that gives a detailed rundown of how and when various different free actions occur within a single move or explore action.

Are there any specific combos you’re unsure about?
