Anyone else notice that when using the special attack on an enemy who has less health than what the shot deals the assist still attacks to knock the toon out?Considering QGJ assisted attack knocks out without calling the assist, I think IG 86 special is bugged.

He's not wrong, plenty of times I've seen IG-86's special clearly put someone down, but it drops them to like 1 HP or something I guess, so the assist can finish em.

I would say that this is because of a programming reason. It works so let's not get to picky :D

I've noticed this, too. GS and 86's assists always work, even if the first shot kills the toon but Phasma's and QGJ's don't.

At least someone has noticed it besides me!

If GQJ finishes a toon with Harmonious Assault, it's great when he calls GS to get the Offense up if he doesn't have it already, as was mentioned earlier in the thread.

QGJ USED to finish toons off with his assist but that was fixed a couple weeks ago. The assist toon always attacks now.

If I had to guess, what happened is that QGJ called a stunned attacker to assist. Since the damage QGJ on his own was enough to bring Daka to Zero hit points, once the stunned assist toon didn't come, the turn ended and Daka died...
