Every time (100%)Summarize your bug Nightsisters do not revive after Darth Sidious AOE in wave 4 of the event. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play event. Connection Type WifiPlease select your region North AmericaCountry When playing Secrets and Shadows event, I get to wave 4 (Darth Sidious) with 2 zombie saves available. The team composition is MT lead, Daka #2, AV, Talia, zombie. Zombie has 2 stacks of Endless Horde. At this point, any AOE that would kill all 5 NS should trigger 2 revives. However, all NS are instantly defeated without any revives. This is very different from how the event played last time it was running.

@be99rnm semantics.are very important though when talking about start/end of an encounter vs start/end of battle. The way the game works is a battle is from when you enter till you die or win be it multiple phases or waves.Each wave/Phase is an encounter1 attempt is 1 battle1 battle can have 1 or more encountersArena/TW/GAC is 1 battle with 1 encounterTB/Assualt Battles is 1 battle with multiple encountersDaka and AV stacking health and offense doesn't carry over between waves same as it doesn't carry over in raid phases.In your video Sid did 61,571 damage to Daka, your swgoh.gg profile shows your daka has 40,156 max health, and she had no protection going into that battle.The only time my low health daka survived that AoE attack is when she dodgedAll that said there is definitely a problem here, if you went in and zombie had 0 previous saves (no NS died in any previous waves) she should have saved 2 of them here and she didn't.

@be99rnm As Christoph also pointed out, I did not “contradict myself”, I explained what happened. Zombie deaths in previous phases (which you attributed as the cause of your Daka’s survival on previous attempts) are irrelevant at the beginning of phase 4. Your daka needs enough base health to survive the initial aoe, ideally without getting healing immunity, so she can heal up and be ready for the next one. Critical avoidance can also be helpful - most of my guild was recommend over 100k base health and crit avoidance arrow. Perhaps last time the event occurred you got lucky and Sidious didn’t crit his aoe and you were able to easily handle it. One lucky attempt from last time does not mean they devs had to make a change. RNG is real.

@dtakacs1977 Quick clarification: the temporary revival of a NS ally by a basic can’t happen two turns in a row with the same dead sister. So if you only have one dead ally, she will only be revived every other turn. That’s why squads like Death Storm require two dead NS, so every turn will revive one. The stun from wave 3 dooku being carried into wave 4 has been flagged as a new bug. The difficulty of the event, including Darth sidious aoe damage, is currently working as intended, as far as the studio has said.

Absobloodyluety! Not only that, Daka is not stacking health from the 20 or so zombie deaths, so where before she held on after aoe, now they're all getting wiped in 1 shot from Sid, even with two zombie revives under AV And MT!Seeing as this wasn't in the update release notes that the difficulty has been made harder, this must be a bug

@hunchew We tried the event with several accounts today using the same line up you described and didn't encounter any issues up to the Mythic tier. Are you trying the Challenge tiers? Because those are way more difficult.Also, is it possible you had other mods on your Nightsisters the last time you tried it?

@be99rnm Daka health stacking only lasts until the end of the encounter, which means it resets at the beginning of every phase. Unless your Zombie dies 20x in phase 4 before Sidious does his first aoe, your Daka will have her base health.

@CG_MindTricksI am attempting Challenge Tier 1. The issue is that the available revives from zombie are not processing and all NS die. However, after playing it more, I find that it's not 100%. There are times, but they are very rare, when the zombie revives correct trigger bringing back MT and Daka. I would say it happens once every 30 attempts, or more.
All other times, the revives don't trigger and the attempt ends.

Can I have your version of the app please @CG_MindTricks ? Here's my first attempt after Reading the responses.
https://youtu.be/57cpNYdDxHc
Do I have to record the whole thing to show no one dies before phase 4, or is my word enough?
@GladOS-013 semantics... You contradict your own wording, encounter or beginning of each phase? To me encounter is when you press start... The whole thing. Also, you may have missed the part where I said last time Daka survived the aoe. Some. Thing. Has. Changed #notmymods

@be99rnm Just a quick clarification. An "encounter" is one wave. The next wave is a new encounter, therefore Daka and Asajj's bonuses reset between the end of one wave and the beginning of another. This is true for all abilities that state "until the end of the encounter".

This is different to abilities that state "until the end of the battle", which carry on stacking through waves.

@be99rnm I think I know what happened there. All Nightsisters got defeated at once. The condition for Nightsister Zombie's unique "Undying Sacrifice" is for a Nightsister ally to be active. Since they all got defeated at once, there was no Nightsister ally active for the Zombie to save them. might also be that the Zombie died first and by the time the effect of her self revival would kick in, all the other Nightsisters were defeated.

@CG_MindTricksMaybe this is like the 5 sacrifice thing and zombie needs to be in a certain spot for it to work right when they are all killed at once.
Maybe she needs to be in the 2nd spot to make sure when she dies there is a chance she sees another ally before they die and comes back

@scuba75 She would need to be in the 5th spot, like Fives. However, this mechanic also might work differently, and not trigger until after zombie revives herself first, at which point her position wouldn’t matter.
