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.

    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.


    Thanks, the ingame description wasn't too helpful. I guess I'd never really looked at it before.

    It's not just passive though. IG88's attacks against target locked enemies ignore 50% of their defense if you have his payout maxed.

    Target lock works like any other debuff... The Sith bosses just have too much tenacity.

    Perhaps the Sith raid details need to have target locked added to the immune to list or they need to look into to it a bit further. It says specifically on a critical hit to inflict target lock. It doesn’t say can be resisted or evaded but
    it’s also not on the list immmunities. I would think that with tenacity slash the and a mod set of 80% + 25% from payout leadership would be more than enough potency land the debuff. I mean Darth Sid has a similar debuff on when landing a critical add two extra DoTs.

    If it doesn't say in the attacks description "cannot be resisted", it goes through the potency/tenacity check.
  • I managed to TL sion once today trying my recent geared BH xD
    Couldnt TL nihilus yesterday in a few tryes... Couldnt TL traya past week anyway (with multiple crits during first topple where trayas tenacity is low... Being able to land 6-8 detonators many time along this run...)
    So i think they were immune to TL debuff (bug) and it got fixed in the 5/1/2018 HF

    What was your potency when you got target lock? Also who was your lead?
  • I run dengar lead against nihilus (to heal those absurdly OP aoes...), and boba against sion/traya
    Seems BK works better against traya, where u can land a lot of detonators during topples...
    I have 50% potency with ig88 or so but he can often land heal immunity...

    Today against traya i did a few trys with BH and couldnt TL her anyway :S so maybe they all are immune to TL but sion (dont know why, TL is far from OP by te moment...).
  • I was able to target lock both nihilus and sion in p4 today using bb8 and ig88 contract payout potency buffs. Just for the record.
