IG-88 Target Lock Ability Sith Raid
So I am wondering if the Sith raid bosses are immune to target lock from IG-88 or IPD? There is no information on if they are or aren’t. Btw target lock does work in the HAAT raid.

Not much, but definitely some, especially if you get the contract quickly.
The trick is, the tenacity increase resets while the tenacity down does not. So if IG-88 has crit 3 times since his contract activated, and Nihilus takes a turn, he may go from +270% tenacity to -30% tenacity. That, in turn, takes you from maybe debuffing him in the one attack right after he goes to maybe debuffing him on the two attacks right after he goes."ARougeRogue;c-1536945" wrote:

It exists. That is literally all Target Lock does.
However, certain characters have a passive effect against units with Target Lock. While Imperial Probe Droid is on the field, enemies with Target Lock has -25% Evasion and can't gain buffs. While IG-88 is on the field, enemies with Target Lock cannot recover health or protection. Which could make tagging Nihilus with Target Lock extremely useful... if you can actually pull it off."Kyno;c-1536937" wrote:

I’m interested in seeing IG-88 -10 tenacity on critical hits might help. If it was fast enough. Maybe a droid team under IG-88 lead, Jawa engineer, BB8, hermit yoda, (IG-86, or R2D2, or Greedo.)
But I can see Bossk lead with IG-88, Boba Fett, Greedo, Vesa. Being great in phase 1 of the Sith Raid.

The 10% reduction stacks the whole encounter, the 50% stacks until the end of the boss's turn. It could work, but you'd have to not die for a while, which is also difficult given that Ig88 has approximately like 4hp and maybe 6 protection. You can probably get it up to like 7 with god mods.- its a debuff, so no. it will not pass the potency/tenacity check.
- Target lock works like any other debuff... The Sith bosses just have too much tenacity.

You can debuff the bosses though. Just have to time it right.
Or use Tarkin.- What does Target Lock even do, anyway?

valid point, but chance to resist will always be 15%. so yes as pointed out, it may get your chances from once a turn up to 2 or possibly 3 turns, after his turn where you can land a debuff... its a start.
