Foresight vs Vader Basic

Why does Vader's basic attack still hit through foresight? The animation is a forward swing and a backswing, but it only counts as one hit, not 2...

  • Jedi cannot dodge it, so if he's attacking a Jedi it'll hit through foresight.

    It's 2 attacks the first does damage the second has a chance to do ability block


    So, does the second attack only count for ability block, or does it do damage twice?

    Thx. I knew about Culling Blade. But, I forgot about that one. It's annoying how like most Sith, Vader has extra buffs vs Jedi. It would be nice if the Jedi had some sort of special treatment like that in this game. The Light side of the Force is not feeling the love these days.

    Sure. And honestly, it kind of matches the movies, since the Light Side kind of gets beat down a lot. But fear not, I am positive the Jedi will get a faction pass sometime in the next few months.
  • Mechanically what happens is the Foresight turns the attack into a miss, then the game checks to see if the targrt is Jedi. If the target is Jedi, the miss becomes a hit and does damage.

    The important thing that gets overlooked is that because Foresight did its job turning a hit into a miss, the Foresight ends. Unlike when General Grievous attacks, which just completely ignores Foresight and leaves it intact.

    I believe this was stealth fixed. I don't remember when I saw it but thought it was odd that an unavoidable attacks didn't clear fs like it has had in the past, wasn't a stunned target either.
