Don't even bother, chewy is bugged

That is not true because Darth Scion's attack torment dipels buffs and does the damage even if the enemy has foresight.

His skill specifically states the order of what it is doing. Removing buffs first then dealing damage. His is one of the newer ones that is stated more specifically.

It also says, 'can't be evaded':

"Deal Physical damage to all enemies and then dispel all buffs on them. Then, inflict Pain on all enemies for 3 turns. Reduce the cooldown of this ability by 1 for each enemy without Pain. This attack can't be Evaded."

We don't have the same description in French... It says litterally in this order : " Dispel all buffs on enemies, then inflicts damages to all enemies. Chewbacca earns a damage bonus and cc bonus. This attack cannot be evaded." Sorry if my translation is not perfect but it's close to what we have in french...

So I understand that, depending on your potency, it dispells buffs on enemies, and then the attack (only) can't be evaded.

But maybe I am wrong... ;)

@Spharynx01 The whole ability is classified as an "attack". Much like KRU, Asajj, Sion; the whole interaction of their cleanse ability can't be evaded. Or in the case of the 3 I named, can't even be resisted. Anything that interacts with the enemy is considered an "attack": damage, dispel, TMR, debuff application. Best test is to run them under Ackbar lead. If it doesn't call an assist, it's an attack.

However, going back to topic, for Chewbacca it clearly states:

- Pulverize "This attack ignores Defence."
- Furious Bowcaster "This attack can't be evaded"

Perhaps those two are getting confused/misread?

Chewbacca's pulverize shouldn't ever be evaded with how it's described. "Dispell all buffs from all enemies. The deal damage to all enemies".

Last time I checked foresight is a buff. The mass dispell doesn't even work untill the damage is dealt. If all enemies have foresight not only do they evade the attack the buffs don't get dispelled.

Unfortunately I don't have the know how to post a screenshot or video of this. Maybe someone can help me out?

I'm sorry to say this but you're wrong. An attack should only dispel foresight when it dispels all buffs AND cannot be evaded. Sion's aoe is a good reference for that. Chewies attack is similar to Qi'ra's.

My interpretation is that, if the target has foresight, as soon as you click on your ability and it does not say "cannot be evaded', anything after that does nothing. The foresight basically negates your whole ability.

The way it is worded states that the “Dispel” comes before the “attack”. Therefore, the foresight, as well as all other buffs, should be cleared. Then, pulverize deals damage. Either, the wording needs to be changed, or it needs to work as it is written. As others have stated, it is very difficult to get this character. So, I believe it should work as written. It’s not like it’s going to change meta, but it will give an added boost to the rebels.

I may be wrong but basic Nest hit even foresight characters

Characters like Qi’ra, Chewbacca, Baze, Echo, Deathtrooper, and T3-M4 don’t dispel buffs from enemies that have foresight because the attack is evaded. Characters like Sion and KRU dispel buffs from enemies that have foresight because the attack can’t be evaded. This is WAI.

Hey guys,

Really interesting discussion going on here regarding Pulverize. I just want to clarify how the ability interacts with Foresight.

Dispel itself can be evaded unless otherwise specified. So what you guys have seen in the Game Changer footage is correct. Enemies with Foresight will dodge the attack and Foresight will expire. If the attack is not evaded by normal means, enemies will have their buffs removed before the damage calculation.

Hope this helps!
