either exploiting or…..

Confirmation bias coming into play most likely. You remember the times he does this and forget the times he doesn't because you are looking for a way to excuse the fact your BH aren't the right team against Empire.

Can’t cheat on defense…

1. Name shaming is against the rules, remove the name or get moderated and maybe punished for it.
2. Nobody is able to cheat on defense. You may not fully understand the enemy team and / or having bad luck, that's about it.

Edit: You're using Bounty Hunters for over a year in arena by now, maybe you should switch to another faction.

Looked at that guy's account and he's using Mara Jade. So are you saying that your whole squad has tenacity down and shock, then palp does his aoe? You're surprised this results in a full team stun? The only thing that would stop the stun is a dodge.

Eyeroll.

But but but bounty hunters are so much cooler and Palpatine died in cannon!

?? I’m honestly surprised OP didn’t say that this time.

every time his Palpatine uses his 5 man lightning with a “chance” of stun he stuns every character 100% of the time.

Be faster or stack tenacity.

Name shaming? I didn’t say anything negative about his name. You should read all the wonderful things that people say about me on here. Lots of keyboard courage. I have not been derogatory about people. I have been derogatory about the game when something didn’t go the way I intended or I don’t understand why I lost when I thought I’d win. Thankfully, about 15% - 20% have offered good advice that I’ve put to use. I don’t come back here and say that I’ve put it to use but I have. I’m trying to be more “closed-loop” in my communication to where advice of value gets feedback.

None of this changes the fact that nearly every complaint you have is easily explained by the team’s ability kit. You need to learn the kits. That’ll save easily 95% of your forum posts.

Not enough info. Does your team have shock before this? If a toon has shock then it's not a 70% chance, it is certain. Still could be resisted though. Did you check his potency and compare it to your tenacity?

Also, they are not very good at exploiting the system if they are sitting at that rank.

Or you should try a different team. BH aren’t really used to counter EP teams, and besides, you can’t cheat on defense.
