STH Taunting through Shock

@Thor_Odinson1 check my post right about yours, that's probably what's happening.

Shock only affects abilities directed towards self. The TM gain is directed to others...STH does not get the TM gain but his allies will. Same thing for Lumi's heal or Phasma's Advantage Up.

I understand the initial tm gain when he throws it up, but if you hit STH again afterwards, allies will gain tm again.

I wonder if you can dispell that with QGJ after blocking the taunt...would be really weird.

Hmmm...can't say that I've seen that happen but then again I may not be targeting him so I don't really know.

Taunt isn't linked to TM - even if both effects are from a single special ability.
you don't "shock" the ability, you only shock the character, so he (and only he) is immune to buff and TM gains.

Imo WAI

There is one confusing thing:
You could use the dispell attack from QGJ and see what happens ;)

So I have been noticing through several matches that when I shock STH, he will still throw up his taunt, which should be useless. However, when I hit STH he still grants turn meter to his allies even though the taunt was blocked. Is this WAI or a bug?

"Unique · Level 7
Bluff
Han has a 25% chance to remove 30% Turn Meter from each enemy at the start of each of his turns. In addition, Han has a 25% chance to remove 10% Turn Meter from each enemy when he is damaged."

This is most likely what's happening and keep in mind his TM gain still gets applied through shock for his allies, just not himself as another already commented.
The TM gain from this ability:

"Special · Level 8
Draw Fire 5 turn cooldown
Han Taunts for 3 turns, and all other allies gain 30% Turn Meter. In addition, all other allies gain 20% Turn Meter when Han is damaged."

...should not work. Hope that helps.

The initial 30% tm should be gained, but I'm talking about the extra 20% tm each time he takes damage. I don't think that effect should be active separate from the taunt.

3/5 of my toons have AOE. Can't avoid hitting him with those, and the AOE is too valuable to forgo.

Thats one of the reasons STH has made a comeback in the META along with Rex as lead. They are built to be anti-AOE and are very effective at it especially when backed up by their own Lando.

Whether or not it's WAI ... the correct course of action is to just leave him for last. He can't beat you by himself, and he can't give TM to his allies if you don't hit him.

He has to have the taunt active for the 20% turn meter gain, they go hand in hand. His taunt TM gain stacks with his unique if it procs. So. The only TM gain should be his unique of he has shocked applied. This is to my understanding and seeing how it works most often.

I just doubt the devs thought through this scenario...Idk that the actually had an intended way for this to work. If they did and this is what they wanted...I just have to say that it's dumb and doesn't make any sense. The tm grant should only work while the taunt is up.

His unique doesn't grant tm, only takes it from enemies. It's the taunt ability.
