When IPD self destruct as an ally, is GG supposed to have his bonus turn triggered and cooldowns reset?It seems it is currently not giving a bonus turn but IS resetting the cool downs.

Bottom image first, I had just used skittering horror on DR. IPD explodes on marauder killing marauder.HK took next turn even though he was not full turn meter.Top image shows skittering horror cooldown decreased.

why would you kill marauder over HK? im curious as to know why... im not saying its wrong or anything.and i think their's a thing where only enemies killing droids/seps counts for Grievous's unique, so a sacrifice doesnt work

He's always a top target for me. Perhaps not relevant for Nuke/DR matches, as there aren't quite as many debuffs as DR mirror matches, but I still wouldn't underestimate him.

I did it specifically because marauder had higher tm.

His ability states whenever a Droid/sep is defeated.

IPD explode reads: IPD is defeated and blah blah blah

AFAIK it shouldn't give either. Not sure why GG is still getting the CD reset.

TVF, why shouldn't it give either? Based on the kit description it does not say an enemy needs to defeat the droid.

This has been brought up before. GG does actually get a bonus turn and CD reset from IPD after it detonates. The problem is that units (HK in this example) begin gaining TM naturally while IPD is slowly disappearing from the screen, but GG doesn't get a bonus turn until after IPD disappears.

Next time take a look at GG's TM during the enemy's turn after IPD detonate. It will jump to 100% TM during their turn.

Uhg now I gotta go into 1x speed ewwww. Ill update after more info. Kind of screws the Bonus Turn mechanic idea though, as bonus turn isn't a TM gain so to speak.
