Incorrect ability descriptions or bugs?

Several units have abilities that state “the first time [x] would be defeated, [y] happens instead”. However, this doesn’t match what happens ingame.

For example, ISC’s Unique “Super Commando Beskar Armor” reads “[…] The first time Imperial Super Commando or Gar Saxon would be defeated, they gain Damage Immunity for 2 turns instead.” This wording implies that this includes instakills, so if for example Darth Nihilus tried to use Annihilate against ISC or Gar, they should in theory stop the instakill the first time and instead gain Damage Immunity. However, in the game, this same scenario causes them to die instead of gaining Damage Immunity. If this was intended, the description should instead read “[…] The first time Imperial Super Commando or Gar Saxon would be reduced to 1% Health, gain Damage Immunity for 2 turns.”

Kelleran Beq contains a similar error in his Unique “The Sabered Hand”, stating that if he’s in the Leader slot, the first time he would be defeated he instead recovers 100% Health and Protection and takes a bonus turn. However, Kelleran Beq can be defeated via instakills. If this is intended, then it should start with “the first time he would be reduced to 1% Health[…]”.

Examples of similar discrepancies include:

  • Qui-Gon Jinn’s Omicron lead “Agility Training” (“Jedi […] other allies […] can’t be defeated while Qui-Gon Jinn is active”)
  • Marauder’s Unique “Have We Ever Followed Orders?” (Plan 99 buff [“the first time this ship would be defeated, it instead recovers 100% Health[…]”])
  • Dark Trooper Moff Gideon’s Unique “Dark Trooper Beskar Armor” (“Whenever Dark Trooper Moff Gideon would be defeated, if he has 4 or more stacks of Insight, he recovers 100% Health […] and the weakest non-Galactic Legend ally is defeated instead”)
  • Darth Talon’s Unique “Proven Loyalty” (“If all allies are Sith […] The first time [the Leader] would be defeated while Darth Talon is active, they […] recover 100% Health […]”)

If it could be cleared up as to which cases are due to incorrect wording and which cases are bugs, it’d be great. Thanks!
