what does Target Lock do on toons exactly?

now that we have more than IPD who can target lock, what does target lock do by itself?

i don't have IPD zeta'd, and it seems like its TL's description of "can't gain buffs" is really an effect of the zeta, so my question is, what does just regular target lock, say from ig88, do? just -25% evasion?

hoping the community can help out, many thanks

Warning to those that would otherwise try it:

The combo of zIG88, zProbot, and zTalzin does NOT work in practice. It fails due to IG88. His 3 health and 7 protection, and 2 potency, means that a care bear can kill him, he can't land target lock, and so he is a waste of space.

In a full BH squad he might be useful, but in squads made up of Boba, Talzin, IG88, Probot, Wampa, Zombie, GK, etc... well I cant get it to work at all. My last match was versus a Palp lead, and I pressed the screen a grand total of 0 times. Got no turns at all.

Well that is not IG88s fault. Any slow team that goes against and EP Vader combo may not get to move. You need a pre-taunt tank and/or tenacity up mechanic or faster vader to compete. Chirrut/Baze work well.

^ It's a good thought, but I tried it. Problem is Han and/or CLS. Both can one-shot IG88. CLS ignores the taunt, while Raid Han can't be evaded.
Gives you more of a chance vs. Palp if Target Lock sticks so that Sion/whoever can't taunt, though, you are right

Yeah. Just have to put him on a team where someone else is more dangerous and will get primaried. Thrawn or Nihilus fit with any team and will draw and can survive a CLS or Han open.
