Taunting while Fractured?

Same as Old Ben's taunt zeta. Gets reapplied between fracture cleansing the first taunt and the actual fracture "buff immunity" applying.

If Trandoshan Rage is zeta’d, and he was already taunting, Bossk can taunt through fracture (if your weakest character - presumably Palpatine from the picture - has protection).

Essentially what's happening is this:

Bossk is already taunting.

Thrawn uses Fracture ability on Bossk.

First thing Fracture does is dispel the debuffs on Bossk, including his taunt.

Bossk's unique responds to the taunt dispel and immediately reapplies it for one turn if weakest enemy has protection (likely Palp in this case). This action interrupts Fraction.

Fracture continues applying the rest of its effects before dealing its damage.


Essentially, any character that is capable of applying a buff on themselves whenever an existing buff is dispelled can apply that buff through Fracture.

This.

There are certain abilities or uniques that react to the cleans which happens before fracture. the buff immunity is attached to fracture and those abilities will sneak it in there before fracture is applied.

It’s the same as the old ben mechanic... with the zeta he will regain taunt if fractured (as long as the weakest enemy still has protection)

Interesting, i imagined the buff immunity would prevent this, but now i get it.
Thanks all for your explanations!
i really learned something :smile:

So in this case Bane clearly does not have protection. Still taunts though, huh?

If the weakest enemy has protection. RT still has protection here

Yes. Because the weakest character on the opposing team (to bossk, you know, your team) still has protection

Oh... gotcha

To be fair, the buff immunity of Fracture WILL prevent it, it's just that the Fracture move doesn't apply the Fracture debuff until after the taunt has reapplied. I'm actually not sure if Bossk's unique zeta functions like HT and adds taunt indefinitely if the weakest enemy had protection, but let's say for the sake of argument it does. If you are to use another character to dispell after Bossk already had Fracture, then the new one should be prevented in that scenario.
