Alright everyone, help me figure out what I’m missing. Other than his health/prot recovery for an enemy losing a buff, how is HK gaining health/protection every turn in your standard Sith Empire meta squad. I’m rewatching my recordings and can’t figure out why he’s being healed at the end of turns when no buffs are lost or being healed 6 times when 1 buff is lost.

Looks like he's healing 3 times there (prot and health each time) which would suggest 3 buffs are being lost.
My first thought would be to look at translation, but it doesn't look like any toons there gained/lost a translation buff during that turn.
Did Qi'ra regain Prepared? That could count as an extra buff?
Neither of those options is particularly convincing. I think @coco8863 is probably on to something with Cheque's raging wookiee ability. That gives him two extra positive status effects, although they're not displayed as buffs.

So the below is all from the swgoh.gg mechanics - might not be 100% reflective of in-game but I've always taken it as reliable:
HK's heal is set to trigger when a 'countable_buff' or 'countable_special_buff' expires.
The swgoh.gg mechanics show the description given to the stat modifications as 'chewbacca_unique_attack_buff', 'chewbacca_unique_ability_buff' and 'chewbacca_unique_crit_buff', but none of them are labelled as 'countable_buff' or 'countable_special_buff'. This would suggest that's not the cause of the healing here.
It also doesn't look like Prepared is a 'countable_buff' so that's not an explanation either.
I'm all out of ideas.

Hey, these kits are so complicated that sometimes I miss things too, even simple things. So I wanted to get more eyes looking at it before just reporting it as a bug.
Translation was just gained for the first time on this turn. Qira did not become prepared here as it was just a single Chewie attack. The opposing team has also not moved yet so he didn’t take any damage.
I appreciate people looking at it. I’m going to report it as a bug since it seems I’m not just missing a mechanic somewhere (if I can get that horrible website to work).
- Health Steal expires - first heal
- Translation gets reset which works like losing and gaining it again - second heal
- invisible buff Crit Damage Up from Qi'ras Unique Insult To Injury expires right after the attack - third heal
All in all it's a big mess and seems bugged.

Why would translation get reset? The only time that happens is when a character gains it again and resets previous instances, but in that case they'd have more than one stack.

Mhm, true..

It should only be when an enemy loses a buff. Debuffs shouldn't count at all, nor should status effect on himself/allies. I've been racking my brains and can't find an explanation other than 'bug'

Right, I understand that. I was suggesting bug as well.
