So judging from that, if JKR calls mass assists, as soon as the 1st jedi attacks out of turn, the target will gain prot up. If the next 3 jedi burn through that protection, the 4th will NOT cause a new stack of prot up since the constraint I bolded above states that it will skip since it was already applied once that turn.
I understand how it works. I’m trying to say that it shouldn’t work that way.
Gotcha. I thought you were asking what it's interaction with mass assists currently are.
I agree with you though. It definitely should not work that way, with the prevalence of toons with mass assists like GK and Revan. A single application of 40% protection up isn't really going to do much for Padme and gang when you're getting swarmed by Jedi with a plethora of offensive bonuses + Yoda who can hit you for 80k damage.
Even if they made it to where it only the zeta upgrade can make prot up apply more than once(non stacking) during a swarm attack, that would be better.
