havok bugged?

so in this months event quest i thought id have a solid counter to havok with my 6* iron man infinity (using my r5 ghost just isnt fair, though sinister made her top100 hits this month). however as i noticed when havoks plasma debuffs detonated imiw lost a good **** of health. i thought his armor up effect prevent these from doing damage?
anyone else have this happen?

Already been discussed.
You need a champion that can trigger armor up BUFFS. IW IM armors are not buffs, they are passive armors. And therefore he doesn't work there.
Champions with armor buffs: colossus, vulture, kang, iron man, angela, heimdall, venom, etc.

Yeah totally...iwim armor ups are passive (reason why medusa doesn’t break them, or doctor voodoo doesn’t convert them). They speak about active armor ups only. Like iron man, Howard the duck and I’m sure other champs that aren’t as useful 😂

cause its a passive effect smh... thanks

well at least my 6* angela could actually be iseful for once instead of just synergy for capiw lol

Angela amazing option but Ultron is a good option too he has class advantage armor up buffs bleed and absorbs havoks energy damage from attacks

I wonder if looking at how imiw’s armor is described in his page is relevant....is it described as a buff?

Except medusa does remove them as an armor break removes a stack of imiw armor.

I’ll gladly take that 6* Angela off your hands. You can have my 6* Drax!
