A guild mate from me pointed that out:
Jawa scavengers ability says: whenever a jawa ally takes damage a 50% chance of applying a detonator.
How than does it come that one geo multi assist attacks are applied way too much detonators?
Check the video and amount of detonators carefully.
Hope this gets fixed quick.
Could it be that the Geos are hitting more than they should? My jawas vs other teams are not doing this.
Yes. It appears that during the swarm attack, the algorithm is applying a detonator to *all* Geos each time damage is registered rather than to just the one assisting - so 50% chance of 6 detonators on each character per swarm rather than just 1.
Hahaha, that is so hilarious.
They are all assisting. Did you mean attacking?
The issue of whether it's a bug or not then is whether an assist is defined as an attack, or if it should just be the character whose turn it is.
But if each character is attacking once then each should get 1 detonator, not 6 right?
So it triggers one detonator chance for each of the hits. So I guess the bug is how it counts enemies. I feel like there are 3 valid ways to read this: Character with turn gets six, each character who hit gets one, or each character gets 6.
There's also the question of whether people think the 50% check is working.
ETA: Though I say I think each character getting six is a potentially valid reading, I also feel it's a huge stretch if they ever intended it to work that way, at least after reworking thermal mechanics.
I mean I have no idea what is intended either, but that's a very generous reading of the language.
If you watch closely at 8:13-8:16 or so of the video, you can see two swarm attacks.
After the first one, each Geo has 2-3 thermals except Spy (who didn't assist because he was stunned)
After the second one, each Geo has 6-8 thermals.
I'm pretty sure the 50% chance is WAI, but the way to unique is coded results in a 50% chance of effect to ALL enemies that dealt damage during the turn each time damage is registered to a Jawa ally. I'd anticipate this will be patched to 50% chance to the *damage dealer* each time damage is registered to a Jawa ally, which would result in a much more reasonable 0-1 thermal on each Geo per swam.
The expose comes from Spy's special. This doesn't explain the massive detonator stack even when Geo Soldier takes the very first turn of the encounter and just after his initial attack all Geos already have like 5 stacks of detonators (check Ahnaldt's video at 2:34).
There is some multi stack going on which can't be WAI.
Low gear 9 or 8 Jawas should kill my High gear 12 paid Geonosians please fix it. My Geonosians where full health and got there tails kick from there very low health Jawas. Thank you for your time on the matter. Love you guys.
The “Line in the Sand” text when a Jawa ally takes damage... every assist is an attack and dealing damage. 6 bugs attacking is rolling the 50% to each attacking bug per damage hit. It is working as written. So within 6 bugs each taking 2 turns could register 30+ dets.
this is a solid irrefutable point.... and if hive mind activated this team should stand...
in fact.... it should take for all other debuffs like this..... mass deathmark !!
I mean, let's not go crazy here, the Geonosians are all FTP farmable from very accessible areas, they're all easy to gear (maybe not GBA, I haven't unlocked him yet), and a lot of people already have decent ones thanks to 3/5 of them being pilots.
Geonosians are almost easier to get than Jawas, more people probably have Geos than those who have Jawas, and those who do have Tatooine's finest, probably only ever took them to G8 or whatever was needed to unlock the Crit Damage mods.
This isn't the new Legendary/Hero's Journey meta squad being countered by Phoenix or something everyone already has, it's one team being beat by another that's just as accessible. If people want to build up Jawas just to take down Geonosians, I don't see how that's any different than farming Troopers to beat Nightsisters. In fact, it's better because right now, countering Geonosians is pretty much the ONLY thing Jawas are useful at. It's nice that they finally have some reason to be in this game again.
Also, I love Jawas.
