Sabine's Mechanics

Hi @CG_Conduit23

Have been looking at Sabine's kit and it is a very cool one! Her dark saber special specifically, there are some questions about how it works in terms of order of operations. Hoping you can help answer these questions:

Special 1: Darksaber Strike
Base: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and reduce their Armor by 20~50% for the rest of the battle (stacking.) This effect can't be Resisted, but is halved against units with the Fearsome Foe ability. (Cooldown 3~2)


  • Subsequent strikes on the same enemy, does it keep reducing their armor by half? e.g. 1000 -> 500 -> 250 -> 125. Otherwise it would work off the "base" amount?
  • How do other armor buffing mechanics work against this? Consider sith trooper's unique. Would it be Base + Base x (100% - 50%) after the first strike? Or would it be (Base + Base x 100%) * 50%. i.e. does the debuff apply at the same time, or after unques/leader abilities?


Also, on her basic, it seems that she deals damage twice per attack, and can get up to 3 bonus attacks for a total of 8 hits? Is this correct?

Thanks!

    To add to these questions is it multi damage on her basic like Rey Flurry of blows that will only trigger a single counter attack and be all or nothing dodge or is it multiple attacks that will trigger multiple counter attack and each has a chance of being dodged?
