Bug: Grievous doesn't gain a bonus turn when probe dies

The wording of each ability definitely sounds like IPD's self destruct should trigger a bonus turn. It is more likely that the wording of GG's unique will just be updated to exclude IPD rather than fix the interaction (if any action were to be taken on this at all).

There’s a difference between the words “defeated and self-destruct”.

The IPD defeats(self-destructs) itself. That’s why it’s working as intended.

The explanation of “self destruct” probably shouldn’t say “defeats” then, no?

Maybe self-destruction and defeat occur concurrently?

“Itself” is the key word here.

Why? Grievous's unique doesn't say "when an enemy defeats a droid ally," and "self-destructing" is still "being defeated."

My guess is that IPD's mechanic is actually a "destroy" akin to being Annihilated by Nihilus, rather than a "defeat," since it can't be revived.

If you annihilate a droid/seppie GG gets another turn.

It should work all the time according to the ability descriptions. I would submit a bug report.

But sometimes it works

Against Sith Empire it will work sometimes, because if GG is feared when probe droid self destructs, he takes a bonus turn but cannot dispel fear so he misses a turn

Wait i selected IPD in my droid team and geared it, only because i thought i could use self destruct to trigger myself another grievous turn and now you tell me it doesnt work ??

Because i watched one gamechanger youtube video and he said to gear it to 12

Tested it. Forgot to switch to 1x speed but I was able to slow down on my phone and see what happened behind the scenes

Greivous DOES take bonus turn after IPD is kill BUT there is more going on

>IPD self destructs
>while the animation of self destruct is going, IPDs turn is considered over so for a few seconds everyone starts filling turn meter
>IPD animation ends and is now considered as a dead unit
>GG again bonus turn but Thrawn was able to get 100% TM during that second so he goes before GG

EDIT: Playback the YT video at 0.25x speed to see what I mean

"WHENEVER a Droid or Separatist ally is defeated." Defeating itself is still being defeated. Nothing is specified about how it has to be defeated or who has to defeat it.

Self-destruct is just the name of the ability and has nothing to do with if it should/shouldn't trigger an ability.
