Just noticed that Scimitar's special cannot target himself - if he's the last target he automatically goes invisible... But Nothing more. Is it a bug or it is the way it should work? In ability description it's written target ally, which should include himself. Moreover, it's written in similar way in JC heal, and he cal heal himself.

The description of some other abilities is the same, though it works.P.S. I could say that it a question of searching the truth... However the logic was simple - he was my last ship and enemy had one ship too. I used tactical genius and wanted scimitar to gain some protection and then kill that ship. However It did not work and I lost the battle. It took me 2 more tries now to kill that guy for #1 rank

Unfortunately his basic is a bit lackluster, but I've had a few occasions where I'd like to put the retribution on him

Take a gander at the stats. It is pretty tanky. https://swgoh.gg/units/ships/

Btw scimitar is one of the tankier ships in game. 7th tankiest to be exact. Unfortunately his basic is a bit lackluster, but I've had a few occasions where I'd like to put the retribution on him

Where are you getting 7th tankiest?

The question is, it's a bug to report or no?

Don't think it is a bug. Any character or ship that lets you select a target ally never lets you select self.

Tell this to JC ship... He always can target himself with a heal

Plo's Taunt, JC's heal, and Kylo's Shuttle all have the exact same wording as the Scimitar does "Target Ally gains/recovers/taunts" and they can all pick themselves, Scimitar can't. I think that's the way it was meant to be, but they just need to correct the wording to be more like Jyn where you have to pick someone else to gain 100% TM.

Possibly. Or, they might fix him so he will work like it's written - I see no reason why it's bad.
