Why can Sith gain stealth with a Zaul lead, even if they are hit with buff immunity? When I hit any Sith with FOTP's buff immunity, the Sith still gain stealth (which is considered a buff everywhere else in the game), because of the critical hit. After they go stealth, the buff immunity remains intact (despite having just gained a buff!). (This isn't a case of Zavage cleansing them and gaining stealth...). Can this be fixed?

This is the case for many characters... For example Dooku's special will give Sith stealth on crit, then shock them for one turn...
Zaul teams are troublesome enough, without getting favoritism from the programming.
First Action - Damage
Second Action - Buff Immunity
So Zaul led Sith can React to the first action by gaining Stealth.
If however the turn order was:
First Action - Buff Immunity
Second Action - Damage
Then they wouldn't be able to Stealth.
For example, Maul's Daze is applied as First Action, then Damage applied as Second Action, Counter-attacks would not be able to work since Daze is already inflicted.
This has been flagged as a bug and sent up to our team for further review. Cheers!
Does this mean the order of operations is finally going to be fixed?!?
Yeehaw! Hope they make a change
But if you read the description Damage and Buff Immunity. So Buff immunity is part of the attack. It doesn't say deal Damage and then inflict buff immunity. Same for Maul they are 1 attack
However how @Huatimus described it is what is happening.
There is an order of operations for every attack in the game, this is how it is programmed.
JKA, Cassian, FOTP , NS Intiate are currently programmed to apply damage before buff immunity
ISC, B2, TFP are currently programmed to apply buff immunit after damage.
The other part is that the opponent responds as soon as they get damaged applied or debuff/buff applied if they have a uniquie/lead ability that is affected by damage or application of buffs/debuffs
In this case order of operations happens like this
1. FOTP attacks
2. Damage is a crit attack, opponent responds in this case crit hit to sith means stealth
3. FOTP applies buff immunity
4. Now have a sith that is stealth-ed and has buff immunity
