Smokescreen but no stealth?

Hi there

Why didn't they get stealthed when R2 made his smokescreen?

Cheers!

Interesting. I am guessing that characters are starting the battle with an invisible taunt like they used to have in the thrawn mythic tier.

It means the enemy won't focus down one single character and spreads their opening attacks.

You have to fill him up once a month

Or you dont have smokescreen maxed. Until it is maxed, it's only a chance to atealth

I've recorded the whole fight and used Smokescreen whenever possible. By the end the smokescreen stealthed the others (except Poe who was taunting). This was Tier 2 of the Mythic Event "Pieces and Plans".

Same happened to me. Tier 2 as well. R2 did smoke screen and nothing happened except for him to gain foresight. I had the ability maxed.

It looks like the invisible taunt thing mentioned above, designed to spread damage to all team members. It expires on taking damage.

The part that I don't understand is why resistance trooper is able to be stealthed, unless when the opposing BB-8 uses Secret Intel it has a target on resistance trooper, but that shouldn't cause the invisible taunt to expire.

I'd post this over at Answers HQ, one ability or another isn't working correctly. I don't think it's smokescreen though.

Ability is maxed.

I am going to post this at Answers HQ.

Put that you are aware of the invisible taunt designed to spread opening damage in your report too if you can. Good luck

This right here is the likely explanation.

Just fought a jtr line in arena with a bast team. R2 was the only one left and used smoke and nothing happened. Haven't seen this happen before

As in he didn't gain foresight?

Stealth should override the invisible taunt, in my opinion, since your strategy would be to have the enemy squad focus fire on one guy instead of spread it out. You’re purposefully changing the dynamics of the battle with stealth, to have an invisible thing negating it wouldn’t really be fair to the player since it’s killing their strategy. Kind of in the same respect that a visible taunt at the start of battle wouldn’t let the enemy squad fire on anyone else (I would imagine, I can’t think of a scenario where I’ve personally experienced this).

He didn't gain anything. Tried another battle and only one guy got the stealth, no foresight lol 😆

If he is the selected ally he doesnt gain stealth

Were you by chance fighting Bouty Hunters/Dengar?

Obi1_son · January 28, 2019 3:57AM

Had this happen today as well on my alt account in arena fighting Sith. Targeted bb8 and r2 did not stealth. All others did aside from bb8 and this was before the opponents toons had a turn.
