Darth Bane Unique Omicron Not Working Fully in GAC

Yeah doesn't make sense. Either the entire unique should be persisting, or it's a completely useless (and misleading) sentence.

If it is Working As Intended, then the line in his Omicron about the effects persisting should be removed. Other characters with self-buffing Unique abilities don’t lose their own boosts when they are defeated and revived (for example, all of Asajj’s ramping). That’s how Uniques work. There’s no point in calling out that it persists when the Omicron only affects Bane anyway (and also both Bane and SEE lead block allied revives).

And I think it should persist. It won’t affect the Bane+1 comps much, because Bane is usually the survivor, and it helps Bane actually be a direct upgrade to Wat as a SEE lifter, because Wat’s techs are persisting buffs.

I think what they're saying is that the the stat boosts for the remaining ally on death get applied even the killed unit is Bane.

But that still does not make sense, because A)Fives doesn't have that language and his boosts to others persist after death, and B)That text you quoted about the other ally is in a pre-omicron block as part of a list with all the other effects. So they either need to get rid of that line, mass rewrite the whole thing, or actually fix it.

Basically,

Either its not working WAI or its WAI but text description needs to be updated to reflect it and the current text does a poor job of describing how its suppose to work

It is bugged or support has no idea what they are talking about

None of this matters if Bane is defeated

When Bane or other ally is defeated: The remaining ally gains 5% Critical Damage, Offense and Potency plus an additional 15% of these stats per the defeated character's Relic Amplifier level until the end of battle

While in Grand Arenas: At the start of battle if there is only one other non-Summon ally present and they are Sith:

- Bane gains 75% Mastery, Max Health, and Max Protection
- Whenever an enemy is defeated, Bane gains 10% Max Health, Max Protection, and Offense (stacking) until the end of battle
- At the start of battle, Bane takes a bonus turn

So the statement:
These effects persist if Bane is defeated
Doesn't matter for that entire portion of his ability

So that only leaves

they gain an additional 2% Ultimate Charge, and the following effects occur for Bane and other Sith ally:

- Immune to Ability Block, Cooldown Increase, Healing Immunity, Stun, and Turn Meter reduction
- Gain 75% Max Health
- Gain 75% Max Protection until the first time they are defeated
- Ignore Taunt effects
- At the start of their turn, recover 35% Protection and dispel all debuffs on themselves

thanks Meathead!

I love it when Meathead and other CG folk pop in just to drop short messages like this. It makes everyone feel better to know that they're being heard.

So there is the official answer. Bane is not the SEE lifter everyone thought. Wat remains SEE's babysitter.

Bane uses whatever sith you have at highest relics with no other use. Until the nerfhammer comes, anyway.

Removing the "These effects persist if Bane is defeated." line warrants a refund of the omicron. It is false advertising. I should not be expected to read code on swgoh.gg to assess whether an ability is worth investing an omicron in.

So they are going to remove that part about persisting after bane is defeated because it was only including the omicron stats... Makes no sense because the added stats were ONLY FOR BANE. I think they fully intended for all of the unique to pass to the leftover and it's just easier to remove the sentence than fix it.
