How do bonus turns work?

I've seen Embo take his bonus turns when dazed, but I've seen Boba not take his bonus turn when dazed. Why is there a difference here?

  • It's all very arbitrary and in my opinion stupid at the moment.

    As I understand it: if it says 'bonus turn' eg Yoda's AoE, then it's a bonus turn and can't be prevented by daze etc. If it's 'gains x% turn meter', then it will be prevented by daze or any relevant abilities like Malak's.

    That doesn't explain what you're saying you've observed with embo and boba though, are you sure you've seen that happen?

    Neither of their uniques is relevant in this case. Could you be clearer as to what you're referring?

    In this case for Embo, he is referring to his payout. "Embo takes a bonus turn after scoring a critical hit."
    Since it states a bonus turn, it will ignore daze/shock.

    Boba's payout has the exact same phrasing though - 'Payout: Boba Fett gains a bonus turn and...'

    Hence it being unusual for embo to get his bonus turns while dazed and boba to not get his bonus turn.
