Unintended Interaction with IMIW and node 23 - AW Tier 5
I just saw some crazy interaction here and seemed like a bug/exploit to me, so let me elaborate:
I'm at AW right now, we're doing Tier 5. My attack team is Corvus, Quake and Claire Voyant, and just attempted IMIW (6* rank 1 not duped) defender at node 23 (he was also nodded from node 22, gaining extra 40% armor strenght) and the node 23 itself has pessimist and agression armor.
When I started the fight all the buffs were at him, and then I parry with to break his armor, all fun and games, but then... He didn't lose any armor!
I got 3 armor breaks, he kept the 3 armor and got another from agression and then he went full invincible mode! I tried to parry again, and again, all I got was a humongous amount of armor broken (11 armor break and he was with 12, 23 armor break and he was with 24), he didnt lose any, when I tried to hit him he was instantly autoblocking me, I got cornered and all went to ****, so... yeah.
I didn't screenshot or film anything cuz I wasn't expecting to do or suffer from crazy stuff.
Second try, I went more agressive in the beginning and managed to parry him on the first hit, before pessimist buff load (it takes 1-2 sec to show up, thank god) and managed to combo him down below 75%, and the fight when normal, he was gaining armor from agression node but armor break was working as intended, so I think that somehow the pessimist node persistent armor buff was preventing all armor from being broken since they all stack.
I don't know if this is intended and our adversary outsmarted me by knowing this and using IMIW who went god mode after 4 armor stacks, but it surely felt like an exploit, i think that since I broke all the armor by Corvus ability all but one armor (the pessimist persistent buff) should be removed from the enemy...!
Thanks for the attention and sorry for the english.
