The other day I was just playing around with my sith team under a Nihilus lead to counter a barris team. Everything was going quite swimmingly as dooku led the charge. Maul got some nice hits in. Sidious devastated the tanks with a swish....and then palpatine runs in and gets a crit of 20k on barris. Now my first thought is wow, nice one buddy! But then, after little contemplation, I recall that my wrinkled friend here shouldn't be able to flash his yellow numbers at barris when he's being watched by Nihilus. My guess is that the devs worked in Nihilus' leader ability to reduce critical chance to 0 and that my palpatine accidentally benefitted from a mod that specifically gave me extra critical chance. Has anybody else noticed a similar occurance? Am I just missing something because I do not use nihilus as often? Thanks in advance.

Could also be that their Barriss had a crit avoidance mod and the two together caused an overflow error.
Perhaps, but for 20k damage? Surely something doesn't add up there.
No, swgoh.gg mechanics show that it adjusts both physical and special critical avoidance by 999900%.
Must have been a bug.
Problem is at the end of the turn is when EP crackling doom applies so it can crit. Also if dooku counter attacks he can also crit because it is not during his turn.
If a sith is called to assist a non sith they can also crit then.
The mechanic to prevent crits with dn lead needs some adjustment.
I have not seen ep crit with his basic under dn lead during his turn. 20k for crackling doom sounds really high. You would need insane offense to get 20k crit from crackling doom.
I should say that I am rounding with the 20k crit. In reality it was more like 18.6k. Still, that is entirely too much for crackling doom. The offence booster under nihilus plus the critical damage of palpatine for his regular would probably be up there, though.
For cracking doom very little chance for 18K.
Cracking Doom has damage mulipler of 0.5
If you had 60% offense from Nihilus lead and offense up and 216% crit damage you would need his special damage stat to be at around 6900 to get that much from crackling doom. His base unmodded is 4808 so that ould be adding 2100 offense (special damage) from mods. That would be some crazy offense mods.
Same! Getting savage up to replace palp for my DN squads..
I think Dooku is a must as well. Get 3 prot primaries on him and some good offense mods and he will destroy Rex / 3x cleanse teams. Most memorable win so far is he went 3 v 1 against a full health + some protection Chaze, GK, and Rex (7* G11, all well modded). I'd recommend maxing out the gear on his 11 plate though - it makes a big difference for his survivability and damage. Mine goes about 42k health / prot total and the AI can't do anything with him under DN. Heals per hit are a bit over 5k per. That's on a non-zeta DN leader. He doesn't need to be fast either - mine only goes 209 speed. The basic that can't be countered is awesome vs. GK / Chaze.
Haha yea I love dooku, I have him at 42k as well with about 270 speed. I have a zetad nih lead and he shreds. I have to change teams entirely for some people on my server, an unmodded g11 dooku under zih lead can solo teams
270! Woof! I have my better speed on other builds as I don't use Dooku primary, just to counter certain teams - but I can imagine the carnage at 270 under a zeta DN. WOW! Hide ya kids, hide ya wife!
Ohbhhh that's a nasty nasty speed
I love DN lead just don't know the band wagoners now lol
I couldn't believe it, but it was definitely two yellow damage totals.
Now, was it somehow VM overriding DN's lead, or is EP actually bugged and can crit under DN?
Tried the same myself on 9-B, using DN, EP, Vader, Dooku and Kylo, with a borrowed Phasma. First time Palp attacked with advantage, he didn't crit on either attack and the advantage wasn't used up. In a separate encounter, he attacked again with advantage and Crackling Doom got a crit. So I can confirm the bug happens on my device too, but it's erratic.
EP is bugged. His cracking doom can crit. No advantage needed
