Something not right here....

Gas isn’t immune to instant kill abilities.

Then it should say so.

It's well known and old news. When G$ first came out, the same conversation was had in relation to DN's annihilate. Instant kill doesn't drop their health. It just kills them.

instant kill abilities differ from abilities that just do damage, Gas kit prevents damage below 100% but not instant kill abilities since instant kill abilities don’t bring you below 100%, they just kill instantly without taking HP away.

Kit says he can’t drop below 100% health, doesn’t say he can’t be defeated.
While I agree it could be clearer, there’s also a limit to how thoroughly a kit can be written since not all aspects can be fitted in there.
As others pointed out, this has always worked the same way, CAT, Mando, DN can all do this trick.

The real questions is: What were you thinking taking GAS against a JMK w/CAT squad?

Op is going against a Padme squad....
Also, non-ult, non-CAT JMK is easy to beat with GAS, so if OP was unaware of the instakill mechanic, it would be an easy mistake to go against a non-ult JMK with CAT and get an unpleaseant surprise....

Just for your info, the same goes for other abilities that make you immune to damage, or abilities like Rey’s ult. While you can’t deal damage to them, you can still «instantly defeat» them using SEE, Nihilus, Mando, or CAT.

The way it reads currently, he can't die when 501st up.

Clear mechanic instructions are helpful.

They would have to add that to too many kits. The only times they get mentioned are in the GL kits, because GL's take "massive damage" from instant kill abilities instead.

At some point you just have to know how certain things work. In this case, you have learned that instant kill abilities do not do damage, and as such they circumvent anything that prevents damage.

No where does it say he can’t be defeated when 501st allies are active. It simply says he can’t drop below 100% health, which would mean instant kill abilities bypass that rule
