Why does new Widow take Static Shock damage from Electro?

New_Noob168

Is this yet another bug. It says for Electro, "Opponents that make contact takes Static shock damage"...

Widow doesn't touch him. She has the shock sticks so why is she taking damage? Yet another bug?

SpideyFunko

It’s a contact attack. The sticks are physically hitting him, which is a contact attack.

I could be wrong, but I think this is why.

New_Noob168

Well. It's the sticks that are contacting him. Not her hands or fists like most other champs. Seems kinda odd that it would do damage to her if she doesn't physically touch him.

Unless they don't make contact, it still triggers Electro's static shock. Unless you're Omega Red.

Corvus uses his Glaive to hit opponents, but he still takes Static Shock damage.

I guess he probably shouldn't. Probably just lazy on the part of Kabam. I can understand if someone hits him with a fist, but an object like a staff or shock sticks, the player shouldn't take that damage

New_Noob168

You would also figure with Widow's shock sticks... They obviously don't shock her hands so why would something that shocks a shock stick shock her hands...LOL... Kabam?

It's working as intended, as it was described above by other player's.
Static shock interacts with any contact attack. Black Widow basic attacks are not projectile's, they are contact attacks. She will takedamage back from static shock

The sticks have electricity coursing through them already. They must have non conductive handles so I agree, no shock damage should be taken. J/k I know the game doesn't work like that.

*Edit. Just realized the guy above me (New Noob) said basically the same thing. Oops

NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE

If we are gonna get this in depth with things Corvus's glaive is able to cut actual atoms so how come it doesn't inflict bleeds

NOOOOOOOOPEEEEE

You realize conductivity exists right

We could go all day. Angela, Masacre, Blade, Civil Warrior, Cull, Namor, Elsa, Gwenpool, BP, Killmonger, Loki, Moon Knight, Gambit, Nebula, Nightcrawler, Ronin, Heimdall, Hulk, GG, DocOck. Hell you could even argue about Wolverine/IM.

Try sticking a fork in the electric socket. Since you are not directly stuffing your fingers inside it, you should be fine, right?

PS: I do not promote any sort of experiment like the previously described.

GinjabredMonsta

Also it isn't actually shock damage but an energy damage as well

Graydrox

Guys, let's not forget about rubber. There are non conductive materials too

JamesBond_007

Her sticks are metallic it conduct electric city so she will be effected by it.

Marvel2289

They still count as contact hits, I'm pretty sure they are contact hits unless it's a projectile.

Some kid in my school did that because there was a paper click stuck in the outlet. Blamed the teacher for his injuries

We're talking about a mobile game based on fictional superheros that have powers that defy logic and this is the thing you are stuck on? Not some alien head that floats in a chair some how and shoots a laser beam from his forehead. Logic doesn't apply to comic books.
