Hondo Ohnaka's and Maul (Hate-Fueled)'s special abilities are bugged.

Description: Hondo's 2nd special ability (Insolence? We are Pirates) and Maul's 1st special ability (Relentless Malice) cannot call to assist other allies and both cannot have their cooldown increased. (maybe cooldown manipulation doesn't work all together, but I did not test further)

Impacted mechanics: 
Hondo: Per Marrok's unique ability (Masked Hunter), he should be able to assist when Hondo uses any special ability, but he doesn't when Hondo uses his special ability (Insolence? We are Pirates). Cooldown increase not working was tested on General Skywalker through his unique ability (The Chosen One).

Maul (Hate-Fueled): The Stranger, while he has alert that he gets from his Basic ability (Peace is a Lie), should be able to assist all allies' special abilities, in the case of Maul 1st special ability, the Stranger doesn't assist. And the cooldown increase not working was tested with Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka's 1st special ability (Loot First, Ask Later) and General Skywalker's unique ability (The Chosen One).

I was aware of Hondo's bug for some time, but with the release of maul I feel like there should be bigger incentive to make characters work as their kits prescribe.  

Attachment description: Marrok's unique and alert search for the character_special tag which is missing in those special abilities. The same issue can be found with the cooldown increase which requires the same tag to function. Around the 30s mark can be seen general skywalker critical hitting maul during his turn and incresing maul's cooldown of his 2nd special, but not maul's 1st special ability.

    Marrok assisting Hondo works in our tests without issues.
    Cooldown increase from GAS' unique works on Maul and Hondo as intended

    Hey, thanks for looking into it, but unless the testing team has completely different game code than is in the live game I find it improbable that those abilities work as intended. As mentioned the issue is the missing tag which is required for assists (to avoid confussion in hondo's case marrok should assist even if he isn't targeted or assists 2x if he is) and cooldown increases, so perhaps the testing version of the game has it just fine, but the real live stuff does not (for now). Here are for more context the bugged specials, which are missing the tag and 1 special from hondo, that has the tag and functions normally.
