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...

Yes, this happens all of the time when enemy uses "old meta" with Biggs and Vader, and I'm using Hound's Tooth. Their Biggs will gain protection every time my HT uses a basic attack against him.

I run Bossk, KRU and Ghost as my opener then Phantom2, Cad bane and jedi Consoler with Ackbar lead. I run into this a lot when I attach biggs and during my turn he gains protection up while I am attacking him.

But this makes sense when Vader is present. HT cleanses himself on his basic, and TL is reapplied from Vader's unique, continuously feeding Biggs protection. It's especially noticeable if you happened to give HT retribution.

Biggs gaining protection on a resisted Target Lock on Ghost should be considered a bug.

This.

You need to provide the full lineup. There are many cases where biggs can gain protection, even in your turn, that are not bugged.

So Biggs will gain Prot up with vader in the reinforcement slot even if he isnt present?

No. Vader has to be present, and has to be the one that applied the TL.

this.

but is that the only lineup that you have seen this happen? sometimes in 4x its hard to see some of the actions going on as your turn ends and things move on.

many if not all situations that involve "biggs being bugged" turn out to not be bugged.

if you think its a bug you should report it to <>
