Leader: Nefarious Connections
FINAL TEXT: Separatist allies have +35% counter chance and gain 50% Tenacity the first time they are Stunned or Dazed. Whenever an enemy falls below 100% Health they inflict Tenacity Down and Healing Immunity for 2 turns on themselves, which can't be evaded or resisted, and all Separatist allies gain 10% Offense (stacking, max 50%).

It is applied on the enemies not Dooku's separatists allies.

Yes, this. I’d imagine it’s phrased “inflicting...on themselves” to circumvent mechanics that might prevent the user from applying them to the enemy (CBM?)?

Most likely. I totally read that wrong.

So Dooku just keeps attacking a Galactic Republic target until it's dead? Seems legit.

Umm...yeah...is there some sort of cap missing in this ability description?

They only note a cap if there isn't one. Compare Ezra and Greedo.

Right. Hence the question. With 100% chance of another attack versus GR, what’s preventing this from looping? It doesn’t say it only operates once per turn.

I think it’s more like Canderous’ basic or Leia’s Basic (where it has a chance to deal damage a second/third time) than like Greedo’s unique (which has a trigger outside the base ability, which uses a basic ability for a second time).

Yeah, I got it, misunderstood what the person I was responding to was saying. Post has been edited.

Whenever an enemy falls below 100% Health they inflict Tenacity Down and Healing Immunity for 2 turns on themselves, which can't be evaded or resisted, and all Separatist allies gain 10% Offense (stacking, max 50%).

If Talzin is on a Dooku-led Separatist team, is there a chance that her teammates could get +50% offense if her Dark Magick goes 5/5?

Not sure if I like the change on his unique. Sure, increasing the chance to gain TM from 25 to 100% is amazing but the cutdown from 45 to 15% TM gain? Idk..

A 25% chance to gain 45% is effectively 11.25 TM, so on average he gains more TM now than he did before.

I'm just thinking in the way of "a low chance of big TM gain might be enough to get him another turn before enemy xy" (low chance, high impact) > "a guaranteed low TM gain that might not be enough to get him another turn before enemy xy" (high chance, low impact). But it's late and I might have a brainfart here, dunno.

This change alone probably means that I can 7* Padme now.

Droideka looks like it's taking damage in the animation, but that's probably just a glitch.

Probably it's Grievous turn after Dooku, and his unique triggers damaging Droideka

Im guessing it operates once per attack (once when you use the basic ability on your turn, once per each assist & once per each counter)

I don't see where Dooku hurts his own team.

Probably not a glitch. It’s probably GG’s turn and his unique damaged Droideka.

Special 2: Master of Makashi (Cooldown 3)
FINAL TEXT: Count Dooku dispels all debuffs from himself and gains Riposte for 2 turns. All non-Tank Separatist allies gain 15% Turn Meter and Stealth for 2 turns.

Riposte: Attacks out of turn ignore Protection; can't be copied

Is this secretly the base level of this ability and not the fully upgraded version? It seems unreasonably weak for a special ability - compare this to Teebo’s special (+100% TM, 30% chance of stealth, Ewoks only), Plo special (+50% meter to Clone/Jedi, 25% to others, defense up), FO Officer second special (+15% TM, but deals damage and decreases cooldowns), Phasma (+50% TM, Advantage to all allies), Bistan (+20%, but gains Frenzy on self).

Either Riposte or Stealth need to pull a *lot* of weight for this to ever be worth using, and right now I’m not sure that it does enough, so this just... kind of makes Dooku worse on defense?
