Hi @TheZandoZan and thank you for the report. This is actually not a bug but rather a clash of the game mechanics (it also happens if you are using a Nightsister Acolyte and Zombie team). Using a different team can prevent this from happening.

If it is a loop you should be able to break it with even more DoTs and Culling Blade.
Furthermore: At some point you should have enough DoTs (character loses 5% max. health).
Assuming the same protection as health, the guys should be killed with 40 DoTs itself.

In theory that works, but the elite commanders are recovering 5% Health and 5% TM each time an ally is damaged due to "veteran's resolve". Vader isn't going to get to take a turn, one goes, sets off "veteran's resolve", now the other two have at least 50% TM due to the number of DoTs going off. The next commander goes, another large TM boost for the other two, and on and on.

Basically, there is always one elite commander with full TM and the DoTs are working against Vader here preventing him from taking a turn.

Ah, I see. Thanks. This is indeed an unlucky situation.

I think there are enough examples of this happening with different squads, that it really needs to be addressed from a developer standpoint.

So far the recommendation is "don't use zombie/acolyte" or "don't use Vader lead"? ☹️ Really the recommendation is "if you use one of these character combos, make sure your team is strong enough not to have everyone but these guys die."

If it isn’t a bug, it is poor game design. I should never be in a situation where the game can continue indefinitely without getting a turn. Please ask your game designers to redesign this part of the game to prevent it from breaking like this.

I've posted this as a suggestion in the Feedback forum, which is the appropriate place to voice our opinions about poor game design. If you comment/bump it here, perhaps it will get slightly more visibility.
