VS Bossk Lead
I just face a BH team with double zeta Bossk Lead. I need help understanding mechanics. Believed the game glitched on me. My line up RJT lead, BB8, Hoda, Wampa, Thrawn. Bossk first with Taunt.
I then use RJT mind trick. Taunt reappears under Bossk Trandoshan Rage, which I understand. This is where im confussed, I then Fracture Bossk. Bossk again regains taunt, how is this possible if Fracture says can't gain buffs. Taunt=buff. Please help explain why he was able to maintain his taunt. Thanks.

Taunt is dispelled, then immediately regained. This happens before the buff immunity of fracture happens.
Fracture, and the taunts of Old Ben and Bossk goes something like:
1) Dispel
2) Regain taunt
3) Damage
4) Buff immunity and TMR.
Put another droid or two on your team next time you face him. Your ideal first two moves using JTR against BH should be Secret Intel from BB8, followed swiftly by JTR's Mind Tricks (ability block) on Bossk.
He said, he uses Mind Tricks with JTR, which is a dispel, then Bossk regains taunt, then he uses Fracture, which is another dispel, at this point Bossk shouldn't have Taunt anymore. If that is indeed the situation.
Bossk will keep regaining taunt forever until the weakest enemy no longer has protection. It doesn’t matter how many times you dispel him.
Not quite true. After fracture he will gain taunt again. But at that point, if you remove taunt again, he won't get it back, because a fractured toon cannot gain buffs.
That's not how it works lol. I can guarantee you that, as I almost always play Sith Triumv. vs double zeta Bossk. Traya isolates him, Sion dispels him with aoe and his taunt is down. He does not keep regaining it, even if the weakest enemy has protection.
Wrong. He automatically regains the taunt on being fractured. WAI. He can continue to regain the taunt indefinitely as long as the weakest enemy has protection.
If he is dispelled again whilst fractured (by the next character to attack for example) then fracture would prevent him regaining it. Or as seen in your isolate example. Regaining taunt from Trandoshan Rage would be classed as gaining a buff out of turn, so it is prevented. If Bossk wasn't isolated you could dispel him with Sion all day long and he'd keep regaining the taunt until your weakest character had no protection left.
Well, if your opponent can get you to use Triumvirate vs Bossk they already got the upper hand.
But you are right about the taunt, once there is an effect applied that prevents buffs (buff immunity, exploit, isolate, fracture) and the taunt gets dispelled, it won't be reactivated again.
No they don't lol. Everyone has different strategies for GA. Triumvirate is best used against NS/Bounties. Unless the enemy has top-notch Geos of course.
I agree with the first sentence.
Which makes the second all the more confusing.
First one is a fact, second one is an opinion.
