Captain Phasma's Fire at will

I see what you mean about the leader skill. I was just saying that it could give battles another perspective.

And for the question, I understand that 5s can call an assist on his special since he is attacking, I would even understand if the assist attaking, calls for another assist from another member (like an assist for the assist); but why would Lumi or Jedi Consular call an assist if they are healing my team? And this happens with every special that is not an attack.
I mean, if I decide to use a turn to gain a benefit, like healing my team, or gain advantage, or whatever, why do I have the possibility to call for another to attack? That's what is bothering me.
Just to say an absurd example. Imagine if instead of a 20% of chance, it is 100%. I put 4 healers and Phasma as a leader. Every time I use a healer to heal, another will be attacking. Does this makes sense for anyone? Am I going nuts on a subject that is not really that bad?

So my question remains, is it a bug? that's how's supposed to be? Is it just a description 'bug'?

It's interesting that abilities that don't cause counter attacks can cause an ally to attack.

I don't mind Phasma's leader ability or the fact that it continues even after her death. But I don't think the percentage's are working. Unless defending teams in Arena get some kind of buff since its the AI controlling them.

I'm currently ranked around 50 in my server and all I see are Phasma teams (which is super annoying, noobs need to branch out). Since I have so much experience fighting Phasma teams and I am a math teacher, I noticed something. The bonus attacks happen waaaaaay more often than then "percentage" amount that is given.

After marking tallies of number of bonus attacks (and yes, I differentiated if its from Phasma or a hero ability) and total number attacks, I got an average of 34.65% of the time, a hero gets to call an assist because of Phasma's leader ability. That's almost double of the 18% it says in game. NOT WORKING!!

But like I said at the beginning, maybe they give defending teams a buff since they are controlled by the AI. Let me know if anybody else has experienced this.

Just curious what your sample size was. I do tend to agree with the AI getting more procs on every toon but obviously there will be some variation from the 18%. That is just how probability works.

On another note, they are going to fix Phasma's leader ability to only proc on attacks so she won't call as many assists.

Curious that some people claim their math is 16% chance on all actions, and your math shows double that. Obviously someone is wrong here and I would tend to believe the math teacher. Of course there are people that absolutely refuse to listen to reason and also believe their opinion is 100% right with no chance of error.

This proves my point. The math teacher and the people claiming 16% can both be right because of the nature of probability. Just because a coin flip is 50-50 does not mean that even if you do 100 or 1000 or 1 million flips you will get those results. They just tend to converge towards that percentage.

Assuming the game coding treats each chance to assist as an independent event, it is likely to achieve 34% especially if he only did one battle (I'm sure since it was a math teacher, it was more than one battle). It's even possible to find that 100% of the attacks proc'd an assist, it's just very unlikely.

No surprise, because his result confirms your bias. You are a human being just like me and everyone else. Confirmation bias exists

It doesn't need to be a math teacher to divide extra attacks by total actions. My son can do that and he is twelve. I also got a high number of Daka revives when I started checking, then the thing normslized with more results.

Also want to know how many attacks you counted.

EDIT: notice that currently it is bugged. So the extra % is being applied to all actions, not all attacks. Hence you get extra attacks on 16% of the heals too, which skew your numbers if you divide by attacks

Very good point! That is likely what is happening here. Never thought about the non-attack assists!
