Unstable Batteries Not Working Right
Anybody else having this issue? Droids are blowing up (Unstable Batteries triggering) without doing the big damage (80% Max Health) and Burning on enemies.
Anybody else having this issue?
@CG_SBCrumb can you check on this?

What was the full team you were using and facing?
Resistance (JTR, BB-8, Finn, Scavenger, and Trooper) against Bounty Hunters (Bossk, Boba, Dengar, Zam, and Cad Bane).
Dengar used Mini-Mine Mayhem, and Zam used See What Sticks on their first turns. Those Thermal Detonators explode in the next turn or so (maybe even triggered by Zam's basic) and my BB-8 explodes. No issues with that, as it was a risk I was ready for. However, when he blew up, Unstable Batteries did zero damage (or Burning) to the opposing team. None whatsoever.
Several guild mates had a similar experience when using their JTR + BB-8 squads against the Bounty Hunter wall. Not all did, but one wouldn't expect Unstable Batteries to trigger every time, since there is only a 15% chance for it to do so. However, when it does trigger, it should work as advertised in the event description.
Yeah, I posted a thread about this last TW where we had these droid "bonuses". Same thing happened to me. A detonator caused my droid to explode and it didn't do any damage. I'm pretty sure it's bugged if the self-destruct is caused by a detonator.
That should have zero impact on it. The "bonus" says that droids "have a 15% chance to be destroyed when damaged by an attack." Doesn't matter whether the detonator has max HP. When destroyed by this "bonus" ability, the droid deals "damage to EACH enemy equal to 80% of that enemy's Max Health". It is supposed to deal the damage to every enemy and not just the attacking enemy. So, again, there is no reason a detonator should impact this any differently than any other type of attack. However, there was previously a bug where Boba's contract wouldn't get triggered if the contract target enemy was defeated by a detonator....so clearly there are some coding issues where detonators aren't treated the same as other attacks.
But detonators are in the same boat as DoTs, they are effects, not attacks.
Yet they can trigger the explosion "bonus" at full health apparently.
I was going to comment the same thing, but then I realised that despite the wording of the abilities, detonators actually trigger half of the effect (explosion but no damage to enemies) while they should deal only normal damage.
You’re missing the point. The detonator causes the droid to explode. If the droid explodes, it’s supposed to do damage to all enemies. So either the detonators shouldn’t trigger the explosions or the damage has to occur if there’s an explosion from the detonator. It’s clearly broken if the detonator triggers a droid explosion but the droid does no damage.
I had two of my droids get blown up and they did about 25% damage to ONE character on the other team, each.
Detonators kill BB8 outright. It wasn't because your BB8 decides to blow up
I doubt it was that, since TDs from Zam only remove 30% of targets max health, and TD's from Dengar remove just 20%. BB-8 hadn't been hit with anything else, and was at more-or-less full H&P otherwise, so he should have had plenty of H&P left after losing 50% max health when the first set detonated.
