Lost SAS CT III because GM bonus turns don't function correctly

I've noticed for a while that GM does not always take their bonus turns correctly - a bonus turn should be a bonus turn and not allow other characters to take turns between them through natural TM alone. Only now has it become a legitimate issue for me.

I Doomed SET, and was unable to take the second bonus turn before Nihilus decided the rules didn't apply to him and jumped the queue, killing Morgan and ruining my run. The rest eventually died. This is not how bonus turns should be working.

    Is this a thing where the enemies start with 100% tm? I wonder if that would also be marked as bonus turn. Except Nihilus would have to be tied for speed with your GM to get the scenario you described.

  • Not necessarily, GM faster and gets her bonus turn first, then Nihilus as it was queued up, then GM again.

    It's set up as a bonus turn, with Annihilate off Cooldown. It's a shame the OP wasn't using the other NS team, as Annihilate doesn't prevent revives in Secrets and Shadows.

    May I interest you in Maul's Seething Rage bonus being interrupted by other units' bonus turns? I ran into a profoundly dumb loop last TW.

    I was cleaning up a partial kill on a QA squad with DS Mandos. Maul does his magic hand thing to blitz down the decoy. I still have stacks. I should be taking more turns. Except nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. QA's bonus turn takes priority, apparently. So she resummons the stupid decoy. I kill it again. She takes a bonus turn and resummons. 

    I looped between killing the decoy, then QA gaining damage immunity and resummoning the decoy, no matter if Maul still had stacks left. That was some bs.

    Fortunately, it happened in TW.

    I can believe that happening if Quadme was faster than your Maul - and if Christopher’s point about Nihilus actually taking a bonus turn in the event is legit, that would explain it.

    I got it by swapping out spirit for zombie, who Nihilus wasted his instakill on, and finally got blessed on Morgan.

    Edit: It sounds like you’re saying Quadme was continually resummoning? The ability’s on a cooldown, though.

  • use zombie instead of spirit, then it comes to a 50/50 chance of whether nihilus targets zombie or morgan

    on the 7th encounter you can set up so that Death Trooper (Peridea) defeats an enemy with his 1st special and I'm not too sure of the mechanics of bonus turns but this will allow GM to give Morgan blessed before Nihilus goes

  • Before GM team was even a thing, tier 3 challenge event sucked.  Glad you figured it out.
