    This ability reads similar to Darth Sion's aoe ability Torment and should function the exact same.

    Sion's ability says:

    "Deal Physical damage to all enemies and then dispel all buffs on them.  <yadda yadda, applies Pain>  This attack can't be Evaded."

    The "can't be evaded" part is the key reason that Sion can strip Foresight off enemies during this attack.  He's actually hitting them despite the foresight, and then removing all the buffs.  

    I do agree with you that the verbiage seems misleading on Pulverize.  I read it and expected it to behave similarly to Sion's ability.  

    However, CG_ParkingInstructor (one of the Developers) indicates that it's working as intended:

    "Each attack only triggers 1 evasion roll. If the enemy has Foresight, all of the effects from the attack will be dodged. In the case of Pulverize, it means both the Dispel and the damage was dodged."

This is marked as "Solved" and is NOT. Needs to be fixed.

Qi'ra's "Scattering Blast" also has this same issue, with even worse wording than Chewbacca because of the secondary "prepared" part.

Darth Nihilus and Embo both have correct wording in their abilities, which would indicate Chewbacca and Qi'ra are indeed bugged (or the ability wording is incorrect)

Hi @sainte5 and thanks for your concern. If you read the original answer (which cites a Developer response explaining in more detail), the ability is working as intended.

Chewie, Nihilus, Qi'ra, Death Trooper, Sion, and Embo all use their attack. If the target had foresight, the attack is evaded, and all effects from the attack (including dispelling the buffs) do not happen.

The only exception to this is with Sion, and it's because Torment specifically says that the attack "cannot be evaded." Therefore Torment lands, and buffs are therefore stripped.

As I said in my original answer, I do believe the verbiage is confusing (and inconsistent between characters), but the behavior is all the same.

    @GladOS-013 I agree with you that the ability is working correctly, simply stating that the wording needs to be updated (fixed) to match the effect, as it is inconsistent with every other dispel ability in the game. 🙂

    Embo, Death Trooper, CLS, Qi'Gon, Ezra, B2, Baze, Nihilus, etc. state "Deal damage AND dispel debuffs" while Chewbacca and Qi'ra state "Dispel debuffs THEN deal damage".
