Is Stun Broken?
I don’t know if this is a “known issue” or if there’s a mechanic that I’m missing, but I keep seeing toons shrug off stun and then act. In my last battle, every time I stunned Traya she would come ...

In my last battle, every time I stunned Traya she would come out of stun and instantly have 100% turn meter and take her action as is she hadn’t been stunned. Every time.
Was there a Thrawn present using his special ability on her? If Thrawn was on that team, his special can cleanse her debuff and swap his TM with hers.
No, it was 4 v 1, Traya alone. She was stunned. When her TM hit 100% and the stun ended, her TM filled to 100% again and she took a turn.
It didn’t fill to 100% again, it never left 100% because she hadn’t finished her turn yet. This has already been answered. Sorry you don’t like the answer but that’s how it works.
Just because you answered my question, it doesn’t mean your answer is correct.
Your answer includes the words “hadn’t finished her turn yet” but by definition when stunned she doesn’t get a turn. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand.
Based on both powers descriptions, she shouldn’t get a turn.
Sure, it’s far more likely that the way you want the game to work is correct despite the fact that it has never worked that way. There is no mechanic that treats stun the way you want it to be treated.
Another example: Boba’s contract. It applies to the first enemy that takes a turn. If the first enemy to reach 100% TM is stunned and thus doesn’t do anything, that still counts as the first enemy to take a turn for purposes of the contract.
Not sure why my original reply disappeared. Anyway roughly what I said:
I'm not trying to be rude, but the way I've described stun is the way it's worked for as long as I can remember. How does stun work when you use it on a character? Do they not miss their next turn? Because they should.
And I'd argue that if it's working the way you describe on Boba's contract (I've never tested that), the mechanic should be fixed there as well. Either that or the definition of what stun is supposed to do needs to be changed.
I have no idea in what circumstances you believe it used to work that way.
Here’s another example: Krennic can stun for 2 turns. If being stunned means you don’t get a turn, how can that stun ever end?
