Can a Copy card copy a Phase -1 card to lower the hazard two steps?
The publisher confirmed that a copied step-minus-one can be used a second time in the red step, and the other posts agree.
Yes. A copy of Phase -1 (Step -1) lowers the hazard a second step, so a red hazard can drop to green. The effect applies only to the hazard being fought, does nothing against pirates, and both cards must still be in play at the end of the fight.
