Re: Jyn Erso dying while Admiral Raddus not Defeated (max Transmission from Scarif)

@Celanon Any ability that is classified as a "Destroy Effect" can defeat Jyn while Raddus is still alive. That is WAI.

Destroy Effects are things like Annihilate/Disintegrate/etc.

In your case, it will have been a Sniper droid at 15 stacks of charge using it's 1st special.

    @EnigmaPotatoes The effect in question, “Sniper Shot”, specifically states “… If Sniper Droid has at least 15 stacks of Charge, instantly defeat target enemy, which can't be evaded. Enemies defeated by this ability can't be revived.” Keyword: defeat. Admiral Raddus’ ability states “… While Admiral Raddus is active, Jyn Erso can't be defeated.”

    The second ability directly contradicts the first one, regardless of whether it is classified as a “Destroy Effect” or not.

    @Celanon Yeah, I understand the confusion. This is a case of awful wording in the ability descriptions. They really should be updated to reflect their actual function.

    Basically all "Can't be defeated" effects are bypassed by destroy effects.

    JKR's Savior/QGJ Omicron/Talon's Unique/Raddus/etc, all function this way too.
