TFP Bug

Just posted this in Bugs and Issues. I know I don't normally look there, so I wanted to see if anyone has also encountered this ....

The description of Targeting Computer (basic ability) for Tie Fighter Pilot reads:
"Deal physical damage to target enemy and deal 35% more damage for each enemy suffering a debuff. Inflict tenacity down for 2 turns on a critical hit."

During GW I was facing a team with Old Ben lead, and his associated evasion which grants turn meter. Part way through the fight the other team was down to 4 remaining members, 3 of which were debuffed. I used TFP's Targeting Computer on the enemy with no debuff. The enemy dodged it, and 3 dodge animations were displayed. One over the character I attacked and one each over 2 of the debuffed characters. Their team was also awarded the TM boost (3 times) provided by OB's leadership. It appears that on that attack, the 35% bonus damage for debuffed enemies is also treated as an "attack" that can be dodged.
  • I know this is probably going to sound condescending, but are you sure that you didn't use TIE Strike (AoE) in this instance?
  • I'm sure. And since it was GW, where the RNG doesn't change if you don't change the lineup around, I reproduced it to be certain.

    I saw something like this happen at the beginning of the Erso tournament (apparently dodge leads are still a thing) with Dooku. I don't think it was with TFP, but ig88 who gets a similar damage buff. Hit the target with 88's basic and a few "dodges" appeared on other heroes. Don't recall if it triggered offense up or not, as I wasn't looking for it. I sort of dismissed as a graphical glitch when it happened until I read this.
  • Yeah also saw this happening with either TFP or 88, I wondered why so many had offense up suddenly without doing an AoE. Definitely an evasion bug.
  • Yes, I know that his basic only does damage to 1 target. Yes, I am sure I used the basic attack. Yet still, dodge animations occured over 2 of the 3 debuffed enemies as well as the enemy that was attacked. It appears the calculation for the extra damage on the basic acts like an attack on each debuffed enemy, which can be dodged. If I am correct, not only does it have negative consequences when facing evasion teams, but it can also lower his damage when any enemy dodges these bonus damage "attack" calculations. It would harder to notice in those instances.
  • The bug is real and I reported it 2 weeks ago and again this week but it still hasn't been acknowledged.

    You do know his basic doesn't cause 35% damage to everyone that has a debuff, and that it does 35% more damage to only the target for each enemy wiht a debuff. Are you sure you aren't talking his AOE like the other guy posted? Because all the enemies can't dodge his single target basic attack.


    I think that was the point of OP's thread.
  • This bug still exists.. Very hurtful going up against tfp with a zader lead, his basic reduces the tm of multiple targets.
