I have noticed a few times lately when fighting vs biggs that he gains protection up when there are no target locks and no target locks refreshing. has anyone else seen this before? It makes its difficult to kill when he keeps geting protection up all the time when there are no debuffs that would give him protection up.

I've noticed this as well. I've been trying to figure out what could cause it to happen. There will be no TL on my team, but I'll hit Biggs and his protection/health will drop initially and then protection will inexplicably jump back up before anyone else on either side has taken a turn yet.

If it's "protection up" then it's not from TL. He regains the normal white protection from TL.If it was purple protection it's possible it was under an Ackbar capital and he was called to assist, automatically gains PU from Ackbar's passive.

I thought I noticed the "bug" Like what you are describing. When I would attack biggs with HT biggs would gain protection. HT self cleanses on basic and with Vader target lock reapplied when HT attacked so when TL would reapply this happened. If no Vader enemy not sure but could be a similar ability from someone.

Don’t forget Biggs will gain protection up when attacking out of turn if running ackbar lead

Who else was he with when this happens? Odds are that there’s some ability interplay going on that you’re just not catching...

He was with phantom2 and ghost. phantom didnt use target lock and biggs didnt get any target locks either. none of my ships were target locked but biggs gained protection up ( like a ton) after I hit him.

Did the other team have rex? Or was there a consular or Plo reinforce? Was mace the capital? If it was none of those and he didnt have a Vader may be a bug.

Is Vader present on your team?

Ghost cant be TL when phantom is present. If it was applied before phantom came on the board, then at some point cleansed and prevented, it could be "reapplying" but blocked. Not sure without know all the players on. Both sides.

Would you mind providing more details?

If the TL is blocked but Biggs still gains protection, then that definitely sounds like a bug. No TL = no prot gain.
I have also seen Biggs gain prot when there are no target locks, although it's very rare, and I run neither Ghost nor Phantom.

Correct if that is the case I would agree it's a bug. That's why I'm asking for more details.

There is a lot going on in ships and without knowing all the details, it's hard to say what is a bug. I have never seen it happen "for no reason".
