Defeat Nocturne twice in Hero morality mission 20-30 range

Handily enough, I fought her today myself. Think you might have had a glitch that allowed you to "defeat" her on one pass, but my exact experience may prove insightful. For relatively tough enemies, I tend to watch their health bar early in the fight to assess how rapidly each of us is taking the other down, and adjust tactics accordingly. As a result, I was watching quite closely when she hit 75% health... and healed completely.
*blink*
And again at 50%
(starts to see a pattern here)
And then at 25%
(I hate predictable plots 
)
And finally, down she went.
In retrospect, it SEEMS like this may have been "working as intended", as annoying as it was. Didn't recall anything in the mission text that explained this bit of parlor magic, but she had a bit of dialog each time it happened. She was also briefly untargetable each time.
Looking back at your description, it appears that something glitched in this process, allowing you to actually defeat her... and then have her "heal" (rez) to full health, mouth off, and continue the fight.
All this is, of course, assuming that MY mission wasn't ALSO glitched... in which case, I've got no idea.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Yes, she definitely heals to full after taking enough damage. I never noticed the 75% 50% 25% points, but that's because Blaster Build-Up + Havoc Punch on a -1 LT usually knocks her all the way down to 25% with one hit... 
Have to try this with a Stalker now and see what happens if she gets one-shotted.
Thanks for verifying that the same thing is occuring for everyone that runs this, and giving what Ibelieve is the correct analysis: scripted events at 75, 50 and 25 percent health.
Maybe they wanted to give her rather low max hp, which also means slow regen, without making the encounter completely trivial to characters with high burst damage.
When I fought her it was the 75% and so on healing method. That would have been Saturday evening sometime I think.

Heh, it also occurred to me that they may be testing a new mechanic in a futile attempt to prevent something like this. I've one-shot targets with extensive dialog strings before (1st damage, 75%, 50%, 25%, down), and gotten the entire string all at once in the chat window. I chuckled... a lot. |

I defeated her and got the mission complete text, blue exit button shows up etc. Then for some reason she stands up again and is ready to go again with full HP... so I dropped her again.
Has this happened to others, with this or other enemies? It was the first time ever I saw this behavior, and it did not happen when I did the same mission with another character later. I am not sure whether it is a known bug or not.
I got mission reward the first time, but enemy defeat reward (enhancements etc) the second time. She spoke her "defeated" line again the second time she was defeated, but I did not hear any of the inbetween ones (aggro, 75%, 50%, 25%) during the second run.
I was demorecording at the time, here are the lines around the first defeat:
