Yeah yeah, I know, Answers HQ for bugs... I just want to see if there’s something I might be missing before I report it, or if anyone else can confirm they’re seeing the same.Here’s the scenario where I typically see the interaction:Of note:My side: Xanadu Blood, Han’s FalconEnemy: Phantom IIOthers ships sometimes present on either/both sides: Hounds Tooth, Ghost, Han’s Falcon, Cassian’s U-Wing, Phantom II, Biggs, VaderSetup:Typically later in battle. I’ve usually dispatched HMF and HT at this point. It’s my cap ship’s turn. I call in XB as reinforcement. Enemy’s Phantom has taunt/foresight up from unique. I use XB’s special on Phantom calling HMF to assist. Phantom evades XB as expected, and then *also* evades HMF. This has happened in 100% of my attempts, in 72 attempts tracked. At first I thought it was Phantom’s increased evade, but I believe I should still be hitting some non-zero number of times over this many attempts, especially now that HT/Breach has supposedly been fixed to correctly reduce evasion (content update 2/20) and the reinforcement is usually breaching Phantom. I have not, but plan to, test this with calling ships other than HMF for assist.Am I missing something else? Or is it, as I suspect, that XB’s special is not correctly clearing foresight until after the assist is called? (Note: XB kit says deal physical damage *and then* call assist.)Looking forward to some more eyes on this.

All I want to add is that it is such a joy seeing a post(er) like this:- knows where the post should go, but seeks public opinion first- Doesn’t complain - Has a reasonable sample size - Doesn’t complain- Listens to what others have to say- Doesn’t complain- Doesn’t demand a Grievous or Finn refund- Doesn’t complain - Doesn’t brag- Doesn’t complain 10/10

Is ghost present?It is possible you are crit or landing the debuff on ghost and therefore reapplying foresight

Only possible way this would happen is if on all 72 attempts tracked by the OP, Ghost happened to get critically hit AND/OR be the weakest enemy and thus have TL applied while also not resisting it (while also reducing XBs potency by -25%...). A whole bunch of really bad RNG required to have that happen 72 times in a row.

Yeah, good points on Ghost being present. I will have to monitor that more closely. I know it has occurred *without* Ghost being present, but not sure whether it has occurred often enough to not be accountable through evasion.

Possible bugged Xanadu Blood interaction?

Yeah I was just thinking about that part too. I agree, barring heavily damaged enemies it’s likely Ghost is the weakest.

Phantom has so many ways to evade an attack. It gains foresight multiple ways like if ghost is critical hit or debuffed. Then if Phantom has no protection it has 50% chance to gain foresight for 2 turns which I feel like happens more than 50% but I have never tracked it. Also phantom has 5% evade for every rebel ally. Phantom can be a huge pain at times for me. If ghost and a couple other rebels are active I have found its hard to land a hit on Phantom.

I already mentioned/thought about the 5% evasion. Chopper’s unique, the 60% chance to gain those buffs, only takes effect at the end of Phantoms turn and so wouldn’t come into play mid-action here.

When I attack Phantom while it has foresight, it appears that the foresight buff stays up until the end of that turn. I don't use XB.

That’s what I was noticing too. Wasn’t sure if it might just be a UI quirk though, ie maybe the status gets cleared but the graphic doesn’t until end of turn.

I guess ideally we’d look at the interaction of other assists with Phantom foresight to first rule that out, and then look at XB special versus other non-Phantom foresight (who else has it? Tie Silencer?).
