grievous unique isnt supposed to be defeating his allies at the start of his turn but yet b1 loses stacks and will even become defeated if he doesnt have enough stacks at the start of his turn. it's kind of a gray area whether losing stacks is considered a "defeat", as each stack is supposed to represent a single b1 droid. but at the very least he shouldnt be totally defeated. it works against this team, because he cant regenerate enough stacks to make up for the amount grievous steals from him

All told this is working as intended, I believe. the fact that he is dealing damage to his allies is the part that is mimicking his disregard for his underlings. his unique specifically states, this damge cannot defeat characters, when it In fact does.each stack of droid battalion is supposed to represent losing or defeating a single B1 droid, however many stacks is lost, is supposed to represent defeating however many B1 battle droids. while this "defeat" doesnt trigger assajs rampage unique. each stack is representative of a single droid rjt is defeated.I dont think it is working as intended

By the wording of his kit design, it seems like the intention is that he should get one "bonus" turn - but that often doesn't happen.While I agree, it accurately reflects GG's personality and would be fun...if GG was actually buffed enough for it to make a difference. But in actual game play, all it does is delay the inevitable. The corresponding GG buffs at the sacrifice of the rest of the team makes it a poor design from a team synergy standpoint. As a comp - look at JKAnakin's "reckless assault" - it comes with risk, but the benefit fits and is often well worth the risk. Honestly, GG's unique seems to cripple the entire team more than it helps. That's poor design.

that's like saying Mark david Chapman didn't kill john Lennon, he pulled the trigger which fires a bullet. John Lennon killed himself when his body has lost all flow of blood.bottom line is that the damage from GG unique defeats B1, it doesnt matter if the defeat comes from a complete loss of stacks or health, it still defeats him, and you are just being pedantic.

So my only problem is GGs rework makes B1 almost useless if he doesn't have his zeta he will die in 1 turn. All they have to do is make it so B1 does not lose stacks when GG takes a turn.

Yeah and GG takes 7 stacks. Why not 1 ?

It also reduces Magnaguard's health, who, after hitting 1% health, gets a bonus turn then dies, which means even though it doesn't actually kill him, in function it kills him. And it isn't a gray area; B1 taking damage causes loss of Battalion stacks, not defeat. Therefore when he is damaged by Grievous, he loses the stacks, which can indeed kill him (but doesn't *actually* kill him, only in function. Seems poorly designed to me.

It’s supposed to be mimicking Grievous’s total disregard for underling droids. He is using them to make himself better. All told this is working as intended, I believe.

This. That's exactly what Grievous did.....destroy his droids, hide behind, toss them in harm's way to save himself, etc. Here, he's making himself more powerful by sacrificing his droids.

They might have to tweak it just a bit I’d imagine. If B1 is getting killed at the beginning of the fight, it’s a waste

Because B1 isn't 'defeated' until all his stacks are gone. Hitting B1 doesnt defeat him.

This is how it is supposed to work. Don't let this overshadow the other bugs that are the real issue.
