Just finished the BH portion of the Dark Side territory battle. I always save the special "orbital bombardment" for opportune moments, but when I used it, it literally did zero damage to the enemy team, and ability blocked a few. I don't care what kind of mass defense bonus they have, but the fact that the special did either "zero" or "negligible" damage to the enemy in only the third round, forget the fourth round, HAS to be some sort of game glitch.

And adding on top of that, the correct percentage of damage is NOT being applied from the AT AT attack either. Just had an ENTIRE rebel team 4th round in YELLOW HP, meaning below half, and no protection, my AT AT came off cooldown at the perfect time so I was celebrating because it says it does 85% of the targets max HP in damage, but BOOM. Nothing dies. THEY HAVE LESS THAN 50% HP. Don't say it does 85% of their HP when It doesn't. All I had left was kylo, and I would have done either of his specials to either get counter or get my protection back if I would have thought it wasn't going to be my winning stroke. WT actual F CG. Come on.

I did notice that as well not nearly as devastating as the rebel’s strafing run

Orbital bombardment seems to be working fine for me. Some of these types of attacks are related to the toon that uses them. so if you use a toon with minimal power this may cause the attack to do minimal damage.

Oh good I though I was using the wrong toon to trigger the attacks. Seems the AT AT would only damage one that was targeted and orbital did nothing.

The air strike is a complete waste of a turn, it does next to nothing. Yes we had all platoons filled in previous phases.

I noticed the same thing as OP, all the bombardment did was ability block, so I made sure to do it with Zylo the next time, same results. Zylo doesn’t qualify as minimal damage

That's what I suspected at first, but it doesn't make sense: "85% of target's health" is a statement that leaves no room for the firer to have any effect on this. For the first 2 phases and first couple of phase 3 stages this felt consistent no matter who activated the ability, but later-stage performance was so bad it cost me all my combat missions.

I know this ability is the way it is because an aoe wouldn't work well against teams with a rebel officer, but if they're going to have this ability be single-target here at least make it deadly to that single target. Banking the strategy for a match on taking out a problem enemy with this only to see a negligible effect and then have the whole battle turn on its head because of it is really frustrating.

Bottom Line: Rebels are still too overpowered and our "buffs" we work hard and sacrifice to get (by filling platoons) aren't doing nearly enough. Even if you have both the AT-AT and AoE air attack, you don't do squat. (Especially when the elite commander who has foresight on him more than JT Rey does heals his entire team for 100%, regardless of what state their HP is in). Oh and then when you don't kill the targets, they'll get healed back to full health, two or three will pop taunt and health up and defense (Seriously? Three buffs in one move? Kinda excessive guys.)
