Don't even bother, chewy is bugged
FYI, Cewbacca's pulverize doesn't work as described. He doesn't dispell foresight and then misses the pulverize! Given how hard this event is he should be able to actually dispell all buffs and then attack.
Seriously.... Why word it one way and not have it work as advertised?!? CG will say it works as described, buuuuttt I personally disagree.

The only attacks that will hit with foresight up are ones that state "cant be evaded"
As far as I know you are right. But read the description for "pulverize" and tell me if you think it should dispell all buffs before the attack.
No I wouldn't think it would, but that's because any attack that doesnt state "cant be evaded" will not hit a target with foresight. But that is an understanding from being a player for 3 years.
Technically that is written backwards also, as cleans always happens after attack. So that makes it more confusing.

I don't disagree. But nothing's going to happen until we get CGS attention. At the very least they can reword it so people don't have unmet expectations from a toon that is very difficult to get.
Given how difficult it is to get Chewbacca I don't think it's too much to ask to have him dispel every buff then attack just like the description says...especially since there are so many tunes that already counter rebels.
All 3 of the Omega upgrades that add Dispels: RT Special, Plo Basic (50% chance to dispel all buffs), and FOST Basic (Dispel w/ advantage) are bugged such that the attack will miss, but still dispel all buffs on the target after the attack was evaded anyway. Either way the damage is still evaded, which is what the OP is complaining about. Only non-attack (no damage or debuffs) abilities or abilities that clearly state "Cannot be evaded" can get past foresight.
That is not true because Darth Scion's attack torment dipels buffs and does the damage even if the enemy has foresight.
His skill specifically states the order of what it is doing. Removing buffs first then dealing damage. His is one of the newer ones that is stated more specifically.
It also says, 'can't be evaded':
"Deal Physical damage to all enemies and then dispel all buffs on them. Then, inflict Pain on all enemies for 3 turns. Reduce the cooldown of this ability by 1 for each enemy without Pain. This attack can't be Evaded."
So I understand that, depending on your potency, it dispells buffs on enemies, and then the attack (only) can't be evaded.
But maybe I am wrong...
However, going back to topic, for Chewbacca it clearly states:
- Pulverize "This attack ignores Defence."
- Furious Bowcaster "This attack can't be evaded"
Perhaps those two are getting confused/misread?
Last time I checked foresight is a buff. The mass dispell doesn't even work untill the damage is dealt. If all enemies have foresight not only do they evade the attack the buffs don't get dispelled.
Unfortunately I don't have the know how to post a screenshot or video of this. Maybe someone can help me out?
Because her basic cannot be evaded.
If this were actually the case the debuff would trigger foresight and nothing would be debuffed, which would be understandable. But the second part of the special ability shouldn't be dodged. The damage should still land since foresight is gone from evading the debuff.
There is no 'debuffing action' going on when the attack is evaded through foresight and so there's no damage dealt because of the evasion too. In other words the attack was ignored completely and that's how foresight works, except an attack can't be evaded.

Bu it's not consistent. RT's special can be evaded (damage is not done) yet it still removes all buffs.
There's definitely a mismatch between the ability wording and the mechanics. The mechanic lists the dispel as can not be resisted but the ability doesn't say that:
Cool. Didn't know that!
This is incorrect for 'dispel' as a whole - eg Chopper, Asajj will dispel through foresight even though their abilities don't specify they can't be evaded - but seems linked to abilities which do damage such as Pulverise.
As TVF says, there's inconsistency with how these abilities' descriptions match with their actual in-game effects. It's a little frustrating but by no means neuters the characters, Chewie is still badass.
