Extra Counter on RJT’s Defiant Slash

Hi @Celanon and thank you for the report.

We've tested this today but unfortunately were unable to reproduce what you've described. Could you provide us with a video if that is not too much to ask? Thank you!

Raid Han above, but I've also seen this happen facing a Chirrut, and facing an R2.

As of January 23rd, 2019, this is still an issue. Jolee (under revan lead and with retribution from gk) will counter JTR twice when she uses defiant slash calling bb8 to assist and bb8’s unique calls her to assist again. @EA_HighCommand 

Hi all and sorry for not responding earlier.

We've checked this with the team and the behavior is working as designed. Therefore, not a bug.

Assuming 100% counter attack rating
An opponent will always counter attack the number of time attacked by an attacker during their turn as long as there is not something else preventing it (like daze defender or stealth on attacker). An out of turn assist is not countered
In the instance you are describing JTR is makin an in turn assist

If ezra attacks twice he will get countered twice
If Leia triple attacks she will get countered 3 times

Even a similar situation

5's calls Aalya who calls 5's, 5's could be counter attacked 3 times
Out of turn assists/attacks are the only ones not countered.

Well I see what you’re saying and that makes sense for what is happening. Countering Han Solo twice or Ezra twice (if he attacks twice) or leia more than once (depending on the number of times she attacks) makes sense as those were attacks you executed on that character’s turn and those attacks have mechanics that make them attack again. However another character’s mechanic making a random character attack again should not give another counter if it called the original attacker, just doesn’t seem right. Furthermore this thread was marked solved last May and it was left as to be marked as a bug. Is what I asked about any different mechanically speaking than what OP reported?

EDIT: never mind the question I guess. Just saw the new response from high command just above yours. Following links from email notifications on my phone and didn’t scroll up to see his post before. Well I appreciate the actual mechanical explanation for the behavior being experienced as opposed to just the WAI stamp of approval, so thank you @scuba75.
