Is this supposed to happen?

Testing my zMaul Sith team I notice that after taking critical hits my team member stealths but...if it's a combo hit assist, like wiggs for example, even though they gain stealth they receive the follow up hit anyway. That doesn't seem right. What's the point of the skill if they're just gonna take the damage anyway?

I am assuming on a Wiggs or other kind of assist that it counts as one attack. But I could be very wrong

Wait until kenobi does his assist move and hits a crit...maul goes stealth and the whole team hits you lol

stealth doesn't protect you from getting hit, it only prevents you from being targeted. So yes, the follow up hits are supposed to land, just like AoE's land on stealthed characters.
Curious though, do the follow up hits crit? They aren't supposed to crit if i've read the describtion correctly.

As usual, Leef is 100% correct. You can always be hit while stealthed. He's also correct in that the assist should NOT be able to crit.

@leef @Nikoms565 Thanks for the clarification!

I don't know about the following hits being critical or not. Didn't notice this round of tests. Was too caught up wondering if it was supposed to happen at all lol. But I'll definitely be looking out for it next time.

Noticed something similar last night. Facing Leia, she targeted...hell I can't remember who. But knocked them below 50% health. RG's taunt kicks in, but leia got 2 additional attacks on the original toon (and killed it). Only thing that makes sense is it is still considered one turn for Leia, so the attack continues on the original target.

The thing is that is not one turn of Leia... Rember how it provoked tm gain by Rancor. It's a bug.

there's a difference between a turn and taking damage. The rancor gains 5% turnmeter whenever it takes damage. An assist attack is 1 turn, but grants the rancor TM both times it takes dmg.
