Darth Vader Culling Blade Issue?

Kaytee_Glopio · August 19, 2016 4:09PM

Hey folks, before I report it as a bug, I wanted to make sure I am not missing something on TM mechanics or reading ability

I have Vader and like to use his "Culling Blade" ability to finish off opponents. According to the ability description, on a finishing blow, Vader gets 100% TM. So on most occasions, after he finishes off a toon, he gets to go again. But not always. Is there an issue here, or is there something in the TM mechanics that allows other toons to go next? Even in that case, it would seem like Vader should go pretty soon after that, but he seems to wait awhile.

I did a search of this in the forum, but did not see anything in the first couple pages of results. Apologies in advance if this has been discussed in detail.

Maybe someone else already had 100% TM and Vader lost the coin flip? This can happen many ways... by striking a team that gains TM on death or crit...

The TM gains seem consistent for me.

The reason why he might not go again, might be due to there's someone else on the field with 100% TM.

For example:

Vader and Rey both have 100% TM, RNG decides Vader goes first.

Vader gets a killing blow, gains 100% TM

Vader and Rey both have 100% TM again, but RNG decides Rey will act before Vader this round.

When someone gets %100 TM, they may still be tied with others that has a full TM bar. Unless I'm missing sth., you are looking at a tie which gets resolved by rng.

Thanks. I was thinking it might be something like this. But it seems like Vader has to wait a long time. I will have to watch his TM status bar to see how it acts.
