What does WAI and BI stand for?
Maybe CG forgot to make the attack two seperate attacks in the coding.
WAI: Working as intended
BI: Buff Immunity
As for making it 2 separate attacks, I doubt it. Typically when they make an attack trigger numerous times it will run the animation and do the full ability. Example: Boba Fett’s Basic. When he attacks twice it rund the animation twice.
You can't compare Jabbas second special with Darth Banes first special. Jabbas second special states nothing about dispeling all buffs twice. One would have to assume that it is supposed to be interprated to only dispel all buffs ones. Here is hes abilities: https://swgoh.gg/units/jabba-the-hutt/ . While Darth Banes first special states that it dispels all buffs twice. Here is hes abilities: https://swgoh.gg/units/darth-bane/ .
''For some reason, this buff dispel cannot be evaded or resisted. '' No Darth Banes first special is not unavoidable and/or unresistable at all.
The code isn't what decides if something is WAI. The ability text is what decides if something is WAI. So no, Darth Banes first special is not WAI.
I used the comparison because of jabba and bane because jabba is one of the few cases that the ability doesn’t mention “can’t be evaded” and I’m saying this with 10000% certainty, Bane’s dispel Cannot be evaded. I have a copy of the ability description that the game uses to decide what the ability doesn’t on my laptop. I can copy paste it if you want. the reason the dispel cannot be evaded but the damage can be is because the damage query can be evaded.
As for whether the description determines the way the ability works, I think it’s a mixed bag which one wins. But in this case it’s actually irrelevant. The text is happening exactly as it says. There is 2 dispels before the damage.
If it was a big enough issue they could change it so that the damage can’t be evaded and it would get the desired effect, but even then they would need to change the ability text. When the ability text agrees with the code and the devs say it’s WAI it is absolutely WAI
