I realize that this is an old topic but I've been trying to figure out something with regards to Disintigration, some help would be greatly appreciated.
What exactly triggers the effects of Disintigration? Is it the critical hit or it is taking damage? I've been going over the glossary and it says that if another character takes damage from the attack (ex. Bodyguard) it's the other character that gets defeated.
Would a character that is successful with a disintigration attack and have his shot thrown back at him via a Shield Bearer's Energy Shield/Imperial Entanglement's Vader's Relfect etc also get disintigrated? In that case which characters get defeated?
It is the critical hit which causes the "BigD," as it has been called. That is why it cannot be evaded, deflected, etc. Bodyguard is the rare exception, and I am not sure I know exactly why it was ruled this way, but that is one of the few ways to avoid it. The damage can be put back towards whomever made the shot, so, in effect, Boba could disintegrate his target, and himself die by the 40 damage coming back to him through a Reflect or Shield ability.
Does that answer what you were looking for?
