meltaloid monstrosity killing b1

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

    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


    If you are correct then think of the impact. AOE's that specifically say "all enemies" (which is all of them) is a 1 and done for B1if they truly are all seperate.

    Grievous kit is working as intended.

    no "all enemies" would not kill all b1s the stacks act like reinforcements, just like cg has stated, in how the separatists had 100s of b1 droids almost endless coming one after another.

    with the stacks of droid battalion, the stacks act as individual B1s, just as CV said.

    bottom line is grievous unique say specifically "cant defeat characters" but it does, so I dont see how its WAI

    His unique doesn't defeat B1. he damages B1 which removes stacks of battalion. B1s unique kills himself when he has no stacks of battalion left. that is how it is WAI.
  • You are confusing intent with the kit. The kit is how he works and interacts with other characters. The intent is why his kit is designed that way.

    The kit doesn't allow and states he cant be defeated. So he doesnt die and get replaced, that would trigger other mechanism in game. The mechanics "check for damage" and then remove stacks, his other mechanic looks at stacks and waits for there to be 0.

    ------
    On topic for what you are saying, the intent behind the GG ability is that he is throwing others in harm's way to benefit himself, in that case wouldn't he just be throwing these B1 to the slaughter because they are so "easily defeated". So it wouldnt be about health at all in that case.
  • I never saw GG kill more than 1 droid at a time I the movie make it so he kills just 1 stack. That's believable.

    Nvm hes WAI, hes perfect in CGs view...

    He only kills one in the movie that I can recall. He kills a bunch in the TV show, but I am pretty sure that Vader kills many more Imperials during the OT and in the Rebels show, yet he doesn’t damage Imperial allies.
