Clarity on Greedo's Unique

Since the Bounty Hunter rework dropped, us folks in the BH discord channel have been going back and forth about Greedo's unique with no conclusive verdict reached. The unique states that "Greedo has a 50% chance to attack again whenever Greedo scores a critical hit." There is no mention of a cap on how many additional turns he could take, if any. The discussion stemmed from the comments by CG_Tophat and CG_CapitalMethod in the BH rework kit release podcast below:
https://radiofreetatooine.com/galactic-war-report-episode-104-exclusive-bounty-hunter-reworks-bossk-reveal/

Track to 36:45 and they mention that "Greedo is the only character in the game without a limit on how many turns he can take, and if the stars align he could shoot forever (not verbatim)." Ignore the fact that this is already an incorrect statement since Wicket could theoretically attack forever too, and that ends up being a pretty important comment from the devs, especially since this has never been reported by Greedo users since the launch of the game. The BH discord community has also overwhelmingly agreed that they have never seen Greedo hit more than twice, although some think he can when he counters. While this is anecdotal, it's still a 25% chance to hit a third time as long as he crits and it seems like that certainly should have been observed by now.

What I'd like is clarity from the devs regarding this ability. Were they correct in stating that the 50% chance to attack again is applied every time he crits, or is it simply 1 bonus turn? If they were correct, can they confirm that the mechanics of this ability are WAI?
  • It would be so nice if this were true. He turns into a mini-raid Han when his payout is activated and he hits pretty hard and even harder when attacking an enemy with TD and has good utility abilities now. I modded him to 216% crit damage. Hes probably my favorite rework.

    MAYBE they are referring to his other ability that that grants him 25% TM on TD explosion. There can technically be 15 TDs at a time between him, Dengar and Zam. That is 3.75 turns right there. He can steal 100% TM also. Then redo his TDs. Dont know if that is an infinite loop but that could get pretty insane.

    Bonus points for putting him Zam and Dengar with Jawa Scav and Jawa Engineer.

    Mind if I ask for your discord channel?
  • Incidentally, he isn’t the only toon who has that blanket statement- kit fisto does as well. In looking at both characters on swgoh.gg, they are coded the same concerning the second attack- it’s termed as a bonus move.

    I personally haven’t seen either attack more than twice in a single turn.

  • This may be a dumb question but considering he boosts his own Crit Chance and damage would it be better to mod him with Potency mods so the thermal detonators stick better?
  • So at g8 with mediocre 165 speed I have him at 44%+ potency. 4 cd mods potency triangle with crit damage and potency cross with potency primary. I think he is at 44% crit chance before his 15% crit chance buff and the 10% he gets from Boba lead. So abot 70% crit chance. He also gives himself potency up on his basic. Once he gets that from his basic most all of his TDs stick. He doesnt need to be super fast because of TM gains/steal/ and counter. Also gets speed or TM bonus from Boba or Bossk lead. I think he maybe gets 40% TM from TD explosion under Boba and there can be up to 15 TD on field at once? Not sure exactly and cant look.

    I think people are going to find him very good. He can double tap for 12k or more each, has 70% counter where he can double tap, and he self heals to full almost every shot. Im loving him so far. Lots of interesting possibilities with him.

    EDIT: also under his own lead, He (and all other BH) can get +100% crit damage and he gets +25% crit damage when hitting someone with a TD. I think his theoretical numbers can get insane and Im drooling to test him in phase 3 of the sith raid with Stand Alone.
  • In the podcast they definitely were referring to his basic ability and they sounded pretty confident about it's lack of a cap. The bounty hunter discord channel is here btw:

    I think a mix of each is fine. It all depends who you're using as leader. With Boba lead the extra potency is good, but make sure you're still at about 50 crit chance.

    Twice max.


    I realize this is an old comment, maybe something changed (?), but this is completely false. I've watched him crit and shoot again with a crit, so goes again, crit, again, six times in a row.
