    its an order of operations thing in the sequencer of the match/abilities. Some mass attacks happen "at the same time" as the ability is used (this can be seen when all assists happen even if a toon dies). Other assists happen after the primary attack (this is seen when a toon dies and no assist is triggered).

    They were changed to the latter. At least from my understanding.

    Yeah, resulting in a nerf to the malevolence fleet.
    I don't know if it was necessary because the separatists were weak on defence anyway.
    But it is what it is, seems they only want negotiator to be meta.
    Not a diverse fleet arena
  • Well, we've witnessed not all vulture droids assisting in matchups in TW when attacking an enemy with buzz droids.

    Bear in mind that summoned Vultures don’t automatically assist on buzz droids targets, it has always been a percentage chance.

    Yeah they do less damage now.
  • It shouldn’t be a huge impact. It is a very small nerf to Malevolence since this prevents vultures from assisting if the first attack kills the target, robbing those vultures of a stack of Overcharge. I don’t see that affecting the outcome of many battles.

    They are not assisting after the target is already dead so they are not gaining as many stacks of overcharge.

    Source for this? Is there a documentation of what the buzz droid ability on summoned units is?

    Thanks in advance if you can show me where to find this.

  • It might have always been a 70% chance, but my RNG must have just had the biggest swing in luck ever, because I went from never noticing that it's a 70% chance to having multiple turns in a match with 0 assists, to the point that I'm searching for it now and not the year or whatever I've been using the fleet.

    Its 100% on the vulture droid unique ability for me. Its a 70% assist chance if that ability is level 1 instead of max level.

    It's 100% on the actual Vulture droid ship at max level. The other vulture droids are created when the original vulture dies or by Malevolence when you use a special ability, those instances of the vulture only ever have a 70% assist chance.

    You and almost everyone else it seems. Me included. But some players insist they’ve seen no change and CG are completely silent on this, closing all specific threads on that subject.

    Or just directing people who claim there is a bug to the correct place to report it.

    There is also more than enough footage out there of separatists before this change, shouldn't be too hard to prove there was more of a change than what was already stated in the update.

    I've fought 10 arena battles over the last two days and had like 90% assist rate (rough estimate).

    It's fine.

    I didn't notice a drop in the rate of assists but I noticed a slight drop in damage due to the new order of assists.
    Not that I loose my fights against Negociator :-D

    Not true. The text always said 70% chance (as it still does), but until the first change a few weeks ago it was always 100% anyway.

    They also lose the -% defense bonus from the buzz droids since the non VD will hit first, which removes a stack.
