Geo Spy is wicked now. Look at the attack description and watch some videos out there (like clash DoE shown below)... he can do massive damage — he dispels all status effects on target and on himself for 40 percent more damage per status
Just adjust your strategy when dealing with the Geos ?♂️
Whilst I'm not opposed to teams that make a mockery of nest, spy isn't dispelling her bonus protection so it shouldn't provide bonus damage
The fact is that Bonus protection is an status effect, and Spy's kit dispell them for bonus damage.
The kit doesn't say Buffs, say status effects.
It is not related to stacking stealth and thus it is not an error
It is related to stealth. "If geonosian spy is stealthed when this ability is used, dispel all status effects on HIMSELF and the target, and deal 40% more damage for each effect dispelled this way".
The stacking stealth comes from how CG fixed a bug with teebo? His leadership was granting himself 1 turn of stealth which was overriding the 3 turn stealth buff and he was coming out of stealth early.
So from Spys hive mind tactics, every time he assists and scores a crit hes gaining another stack of stealth for one turn(think HOT stacks from chirrut) and when he gets to use his special dispels all those stacks of stealth.
This mechanic was the exact method that led me to start shooting for GBA for the Padme event when they reworked the kit. My brain said, "the 40% protection up bonus from out of turn attacks isn't stacking, but spy's damage bonuses due to dispelling status effects are... = laughing at protection up."
I think the largest programming opportunity for damage error is going to come from how they added the 40% damage bonus for more than 1 effect dispelled. If they propagated it in a summative fashion then it would be less, but if they propagated it in a nested fashion then it would be much more.
Either way it is a lot if before spy's or nest's turn he gets attacked by 16 assists, gets protection up from each 1 and then spy uses silent strike. This is what is happening
