Stormtrooper Han is broke.

Teebo's stealth is breaking his taunt. Noticed it twice today in arena, and I think it must have been going on for a week, because my arena score started plummeting rapidly last week for no apparent reason. Is this a bug or by design? If it's by design it's a bad one as I can think of more than a few other characters (Wiggs / Lando etc) that deserve a nerf. STH is not overpowered.

By design. Stealth will break any taunts and taunt breaks stealth, not just STH's.

I agree that it's very bad design for stealth to break taunt. I think taunt should always override stealth

dinobambino

Stealth is gone as soon as he taunts and vice versa.

Gank_Killer

The way it SHOULD work, is that taunt remains on stealthed character, but character is not targetable. This way when stealth ends within the duration of the taunt, the taunt is still active. The way it works now, it's basically a taunt debuff.

I've been running the Teebo STH combo in my arena team for over six months and I can assure you that once STH was taunting Teebo's random stealth would not land on STH while taunt was active. This is a recent phenomenon. It breaks the group and makes it uncompetitive.

So I guess all these posts are false

The OP will probably still tell you that you're wrong.

DarthBlartMC

Reading the last post from the devs, it clearly says it's Teebo's fault.

crzydroid

I've never been a fan of Teebo's random stealth leader ability anyway. From an opponent end, it's messed me up a few times, but whenever I've tried to use Teebo lead, he either does stuff like stealth the taunting character, and/or just leave my squishiest yet best attacker unstealthed while everyone else is. His turn meter gain is the only good thing about his leader ability. If they tweaked him so you get to pick who gets stealthed (like in ships) instead of being random, I'd be more of a fan of his leader ability.

Not to mention the known issue of his leader ability breaking his own stealth when you're actually trying to do it on purpose (Leia's too, I've heard).

How can you be taunted by something you cannot see though?

Thesbus

St. Han is broken, but it has nothing to do with stealth. If you put buff immune on him and he taunts the taunt doesn't go off, but his team still gets TM if you hit him for the next three turns. If he taunts and you cleanse it with someone like QGJ the taunt goes away and his team doesn't get TM when you hit him.

This is what the Devs did. Totally logical, unlike the 20 ton Rancor dodging while being trapped under a 4 story tall door.

great character, sad to hear about his financial situation.

Buff immunity means the inflicted character cannot gain buffs. It has nothing to do with turn meter and doesnt affect other toons who dont have it

Teague

I've never understood someone running Tebow lead, and a taunt character in the same group. I use to see a RG under Tebow lead in arena a lot. I always targeted them.

If you want to use Tebow lead, your best bet is to replace STHan with a damage getter. You don't need taunts. Your team's basic design under Tebow lead is to be chaotic and unpredictable. Never able to focus one down before they stealth.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've been playing: Teebo lead, EE, Old Daka, Rey and STH exclusively for over six months. I've probably played five hundred arena matches, so yes, I'm telling you -for me - STH having his taunt broken by Teebo's random stealth just started impacting my group sometime over the last week or so. I think I would have noticed my taunt being stripped after, oh, I don't know, the first two hundred matches?

Same here. There was one or two squads with teebo lead and royal guard running around for a while near me. They were nice stepping stones everyday. Teebo took care of RG's taunt for me over and over again. Tanks losing their taunt to gaining stealth is not something new for sure.

It's about being situational. I don't run an arena team lIke that but I do rum a rancor squad like that.it's all about control. And using the tank to take the big hits when needed.

If that is true you have been on an insanely long streak of good RNG. I remember 3 or 4 months back I gave Teebo lead a spin and no matter what taunt I used it was always broken up when the random stealth hit my taunt. Toons I used were SF, STH and RG but the results of the rework to stealth was always the same
