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

Could be wai because it's self inflicted

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.

“Itself” is the key word here.

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

Maybe self-destruction and defeat occur concurrently?

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.

But sometimes it works

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

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
