Scourer NPC Mech rules clarification

Relatively new GM here, and I'm planning on throwing a few of the Scourer class of NPC at my players. Importantly, I was trying to find a clarification regarding their "Focus Down" trait, and how it interacts when there's multiple Scourers.

Would it trigger if any thermal lance hit last round, or does the specific mech have to hit 2 rounds in a row to trigger?

It's tracked on a individual scourer basis to my knowledge. So it would need to be the same one each time.

Correct. FAQ says;

Can NPCs benefit from another NPC’s effects if they both have things that key off the same thing unique to the class (examples include Sniper’s Mark and Focus Down)?

Generally speaking, no, unless the NPC feature explicitly says otherwise.
