Own team: GG❤️ IG100, B1, B2, Nute Gunray Vs: JKR, Jolee, BS, GMY, Thrawn.Connection Type WifiPlease select your region EuropeCountry England‌I have noticed that Jedi, under a Jedi Knight Revan lead, are able to counter on a shot from either B2 or IG100 that target locks them when they have Bastilla Shan's Legendary Battle Meditation buff. Specifically it appears to be Jolee I see it on most. As the buff doesn't grant 100% counter chance, it is hard to track but General Grievous' lead specifically says 'Target Locked enemies can't counter attack'.I understand that Legendary Battle Meditation can't be cleared off but GG's lead isn't attempting to defeat the buff, only to mitigate one of it's effects. By comparison, GG's basic says it 'can't be evaded or countered' and I have never had it countered by anyone with Legendary Battle Meditation.&nbsp;I will attempt to capture it happening next time I face a suitable team if it is not a known bug.Cheers in advance.

@Cleric_Jericho Are you seeing this behavior the turn on which Target Lock is applied?

I ask because if so, this would be similar to how characters counterattack when daze is applied. First damage is dealt by the attack. A counterattack is then triggered and put into queue. Then target lock is applied and future counters cannot be queued, however the initial one that triggered before the unit had target lock is still allowed to resolve.

Does this describe what you're seeing, or are characters with previously existing TL still counterattacking?

@GladOS-013 That's entirely plausible. As I say, it's quite hard to track. Although, I'm not entirely convinced that it works as you describe...

I used Daze with K2SO for several months and briefly with Maul and never once saw anyone counter when they were hit with it. Although not a counter, it was my main weapon to prevent Biggs from gaining TM on a critical hit when Wiggs was the meta.

I used it extensively against pre-Chewy CLS teams so I'm pretty sure I'd have piped up before now if I'd seen it.

Happy to be corrected (well, not really as it seems a broken mechanic if it is the case). I'm still waiting to get bumped out the top 10 so I can face some JKRs again and capture it. Cheers for the early response though.

@Cleric_Jericho  Let me know! I’m not using Grievous in arena, so I’m just trying to theorize what might be happening.

@Cleric_Jericho Hey, I tested this myself and @GladOS-013 is correct that Counterattack is triggered if that is the turn on which Target Lock is applied. If the enemy target (Jedi) already has Target Lock and Legendary Battle Meditation, Counterattack is not triggered.
However, if you do encounter a specific scenario where the enemy was already Target Locked and Counterattack is still triggered, please let us know and we will investigate further.

Thank you!
