Characters at Low Health Dying Without Being Attacked

Mojavelandbaron

I just finished getting my head handed to me in a GW battle. What wasn't cool was that two of my characters, while not even being attacked, suddenly and for no reason keeled over and died. While their health was low and in the red, they had not been attacked, yet they were both simultaneously wiped out. I've noticed this happening before lately in other Battles. Please fix this bug.

It is not a bug. Your characters likely had DOT debuffs on them, which upon their turn, killed them due to taking damage over time. This is a recent change that occurred in either this patch or the one before.

In the past, DOT debuffs did not kill your characters. When enough damage was incurred to kill off your character via a DOT, your character would instead sit at 1HP and the DOT debuff timer would end.

Dots kill now.

Were they suffering from a damage over time effect?

Zarbax

Undoubtedly they were. DoT killing rather than knocking down to 1HP is a good thing. Now Vader is a BOSS, as he should be.
May the forks be with you.

Oh...okay.

Quite right. And the only reason I even bothered leveling up Ackbar.
