GL Rey is broken in PvE (and PvP)

The main point of this thread is to point out that one of the best pieces of Rey’s kit - going into her ultimate stance and reducing all damage to light side allies down to 1, doesn’t work in PvE. Whether in LSGTB or in the most recent Galactic Challenge, sniper droid continues to 1 shot full HP light side toons in her lineup WHILE Rey is in her ultimate stance.

Not to mention that she also WWs targets with damage immunity while on auto or while on defense.

Just yet another example of how SLKR owners get their rear ends powdered by CG whilst Rey owners are told to wipe themselves.

    After 15 stacks, Snipers annihilate the target, there's no reason the ultimate should protect against that.

    Why shouldn't it? Are units annihilatable in pvp while in ulti stance? Just asking, never observed what the case is.

    They should be, although I'm not sure how much it was tested. The stance reduces damage to 1 but says nothing about instakills that don't deal damage, with the exception of Rey herself who can't be defeated. Nihilus should work too, if someone can find a way to keep him alive long enough to try it.

    This is correct, annihilate bypasses her ultimate, it doesnt deal damage, just like the sniper droid attack at 15 stacks. It just removes the toon.

    As for the other complaints, all the toons have the same not so I, AI. This is nothing unique to Rey, and certainly no different on Kylo.

    People always want smarter AI until they realize how many more battles they'd lose on offense.

    Just confirmed that other toons are killing near-full HP toons during Galactic Challenges while Rey is in her ultimate stance - not just sniper droid. So yeah, it’s not just an “annihilate mechanic,” Rey’s ultimate is legitimately broken.

    Noticed that too. :/ many chars died without triggering invulnerablty as well as died during GL ultimate. Definitely something is broken
