No, it isn't.

Against a counter team? It most certainly is Mr. Board know it all. Rey can now attack toons with counter without fear of multiple counters. It is common sense that each hit should be countered.

I posted this in a different thread earlier.

I don't think Rey's attacks are multi attacks, for this simple reason: it is a combo (up down up) instead of a replay of the same attack (up up up).

Every other hero with multiple attacks uses the same move multiple times, Rey's attack isn't A A A (where A creates a counter) it's A B C. A combo of moves which are only included in one attack.

I would of rather had them fix other bugs as Rey is already very powerful, but to argue that it isn't a bug and is instead a buff is wrong.

Here is Rey's description for Flurry Of Blows

Deal Physical damage to target enemy twice, with a 55% chance to deal damage a third time. If Rey has any positive status effects, she will deal damage one additional time. Hits after the first deal reduced damage.

Leia's Hair Trigger

Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 55% chance to attack a second time and a 40% chance to attack a third time.

Count Dooku's Hindering Press

Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 50% chance to attack again. If the target is a Jedi, these attacks have a 35% chance to Stun for 1 turn and a 35% chance to inflict Ability Block for 1 turn.

'Dealing damage' and 'attacking again' are clearly two very different things.

Another attack leads to another counter attack. But dealing damage is all part of the same attack.

And this was a dev response:

The multi-counter was unintended to begin with, an unfortunate result of Counter Attacks being determined per damage effect, rather than per attack. Thankfully, there's an override for that, so only the first hit can trigger Counter Attacks now. Considering that you still only need to succeed a single Evasion check to avoid all the hits, it only seemed fair that you only got one Counter, too.

It isn't a buff, it's a bug fix. Although her attack deals damage multiple times it does not deal multiple attacks. Therefore multiple counter attacks should not occur.
