Hi, can someone help me solve a little mystery that I keep runnig into in arena? How is Old Ben's taunt able to survive Thrawn's fracture? All is apparent from this image:I can cleanse this taunt no problem with sion or nihilus on his basic but not with fracture. Is this a bug or WAI?

Old Ben regains taunt after losing it.

It’s a zeta ability for his taunt move, when you remove his taunt he regains taunt for 1 turn, it’s like a double taunt, the taunt after the taunt is not preventable

His zeta reapplied after the cleanse and before fracture is applied.

Old Ben's zeta reapplies the taunt before fracture is inflicted. ChristophIV laid it out in his post. It works against CLS's buff removal/buff immunity too
