Tried him against some evasion leader. He's great, but his leader ability either is not working as intended or the wording in its description is misleading.
It states: "Base: Jedi and Clone allies gain 10% Offense and 10% Critical Damage and other allies gain half that amount. Whenever an ally is Evaded, they gain Advantage for 2 turns."
But actually only the one that missed an attack gains advantage. Am I reading it wrong or is he bugged?"Xenith;510708" wrote:"Bora;510685" wrote:

No this is how it works and the description is right... If everyone gets advantage it would say all ally gains advantage"TyGonJinn27;510711" wrote:"Bora;510685" wrote:

You're reading it wrong. It's working as intended. 'They' is referring to the attacker, not the team.
"They" is a plural pronoun. There is no singular, gender-neutral pronoun in the English language.
Correcting grammar is literally my job, and I am paid $22 an hour for it because I know what I am talking about.
While it's not my job, I'm a bit of a grammar na-zi (not sure why the non-hyphenated word needs to be censored in this context) myself, and I had the same initial reaction as you. I always learned that "they" can never be singular, even though it is common in spoken language. However, there is not universal agreement on this today. I personally like the idea of having a gender-neutral pronoun for cases like this, so long as its use is unambiguous. I can see the argument that it is not unambiguous here.
