    Hi @BaldurCPH and thank you for the question.

    We've checked this with the team and it is working as intended. I can't go into many details here, but rest assured that the team carefully balanced the Nightsisters, especially under Asajj or Mother Talzin lead to make them not too powerful.

    If you would like to have it changed, feel free to post it in the official forum (LINK) to draw more attention to the topic and get support from other players.

It'd make it an aweful Zeta that way.  You deal 1999 damage to a 2000 HP toon and the ability goes off... you do 2000 damage and it doesn't?  Also, the Nightsister Kit is built around death and dying... it doesn't fit the composition that it wouldn't work.

I'm also pretty sure the way I expected it to work was in the podcast - with a dev (Top hat?) I'll need to get the time stamp for it and post it.

Has this been fixed yet?

Most definitely 0 health or lower (death) is below 50% health in any mathematical and/or legal sense.

Talzin should get 35% TM every time Zombie dies, and when an ally dies after called to assist (at 50% health), and of course when enemies dies.

I thought that was the whole point with the zeta - especially synergy with zeta lead and zombie unique. 

I have been farming zeta to get this zeta an stumbled upon this issue.

It’s a poor ZETA ability if health has to be in the exact sweetspot below 50% (not precise 50%) and above 0. That requires a pure accidental and random turn of events while you can’t control the damage (where above 0 could be better than death in game), and not applicable for strategic manoeuvres.

Better to adjust the zeta so that it applies to only NS below 50% (death included) and not enemies. That would make sense as well.

Currently it’s just a huge bug!

      Thanks!

      I can’t state whether NS is TOO powerful while I haven’t got it yet, but I would ESTIMATE that the zeta won’t make NS viable in Arena nonetheless (even with the full impact with death triggering the ability) due to way too powerful Empire/Sith teams swarming the shard, where underpowered (10-20K below) can wipe out NS without NS haven got one turn.

      BUT you should change the description - if death won’t trigger the ability (but works as INTENDED) the description is faulty. Maybe “When any unit falls below 50% health and is alive, Talzin gains 35% Turn Meter”. That would reflect the reported bug.

      When deciding on the zeta I was SURE that Zombie death and revive-n-death (Talzin lead zeta) would trigger the ability.

        Additional: Jedi Knight Anakin unique gains 60% TM (read: Almost twice the gain of Talzin) + additional 75% dmg. on next turn (death included) and thats NOT even zeta but lvl 72, so thats why I would expect a zeta will be meaner than reported here.

      Oh.  Yes.  Thank you BOTH for bringing this back up and reminding me, yet again, of the waste of my zeta on Talzin.  Much appreciated.

      @EA_HighCommand do you know what WOULD be AWFULLY dandy?  I mean this.  If someone would actually State, with words, in the descriptor how the zeta really worked.  I mean... it's been since Halloween of course, so, damage done.  Congrats.  But it'd be nod in the right direction to actually state how this works for people considering where to spend resources.  Simple things all around would reduce frustration in the game... but of course, frustration = $$ - wasn't that the jist of the recent EA shareholder meeting?

      Well - EA has been the most frustrating game company to have come around in recent years- SW Battlefront 2 and SW:GOH WILL be the last games I ever play with an EA title in them.  Sad because Anthem looks hot - but, after so many EA issues... I already know how the actual game experience is going to end up.
