Does stagger count as TM removal for Death Star Galactic Challenge?

I just completed the top tier of the Galactic Challenge with my gear 10 palpatine and gear 11 Mara jade. I’m pretty sure with all the staggers from Mara jade that I removed more than 400% tm but I was not awarded the Feat. Does stagger not count as TM removal?

  • It might not because the character isn’t removing the turn meter, the debuff is. It’s sort of like how DoT and thermal detonator damage isn’t assigned to a character.
  • It is coded like DoT’s. Basically anything that says “For Self who is Alive” seems to have issue when counting for stuff like this with regards to enemy as it doesn’t count as you performing the action.

    Thanks, I guess that makes sense

    How can you see how it is coded?

    By coded, I mean the state it checks for is different from a normal TM removal check. If you look at CLS, his TM removal condition is checked against the enemy unit.



    Gideon is different again in that it does everybody and yet only the enemy TM is counted in the total.

    It’s on swgoh.gg. There should be a button on a character’s abilities to see more about them.
  • I think it counts, but of course it only counts after you damage the character that has the stagger debuff. I tried the Challenge with Veers, Piett, Gideon, Dark, and Range, Gideon TM removal first turn, killed everyone quickly and no feat. Then subbed Starck for Range. Same sequence except Starck stagger and Dark aoe to trigger the stagger, got the feat.

    This is how I got it. Gideon is pretty much made for the TM removal feats.

    It could have just been Starck's unique to give you just enough TMR to get over 400%
