Question about HK's Assassination Protocol

I've noticed that HK's second special is always a critical hit, no matter who the target is and even if they have critical hit immunity. I'm not complaining since it makes taking Jolee out much easier, but I'm not sure if there's a reason this overrides crit hit immunity. I couldn't find anything in hit kit, but I also didn't look very long, so I may have missed something.
  • He dispels all buffs with that ability including critical hit immunity, and gets extra crit chance from Darth Revan’s lead.

    He's never not critted against Jolee, though. Does DR's lead gives him enough crit chance, combined with his natural chance, to overcome Jolee's super high crit avoidance?

    Yes 150% crit chance on hk and lets say 100% crit avoidance on jolee hk still has a 50% chance to crit

    It can. I occasionally land crits against Jolee despite his ludicrous innate crit avoidance.

    Crit avoidance and crit immunity are not the same... just to make sure that we are all discussing the same thing.

    Yes they are not the same crit avoidance reduce the chance to be crit while immunity makes it so u cant be crit

    Lead gives 10% crit chance per debuff. By the time I use that ability I’m always at 10 stacks and often at 15. So that’s +100 or 150% crit chance.

    Not including mods and hks base cc so 140% to 190% is 100% reasonable so if jolee dosent want to be crited use a crit avoidance arrow with tenacity sets with tenacity to try to hit 100%+ tenacity on him
