Thing Synergy Team Not Always Working!

Merciless

I've been using the Thing synergy team for a while and sometimes it doesn't always work as intended. I use the champions in order of Thing/Champion/Hela/Angela/Heimdall and I kill all of them except for Thing. Then, the first time Thing gets knocked out he gains 20% hp from Hela/Angela synergy and becomes indestructible from Champion synergy. The second time he gets knocked out he becomes indestructible from Heimdall synergy and if he gets hit later, he dies. However, throughout a quest in some fights the synergies don't work as intended and in the correct order as seen in the video below.

This seems to happen randomly and for example when I fought Hood Thing regained 20% hp but didn't become indestructible from Champion and thus immediately went back to 1% hp. However, in the next fight everything worked correctly and as intended against Symbiote Spiderman.

This needs to be investigated. In my case I was running the full fantastic four synergy along with The Champion. I was in the Final Summoner Smackdown Boss rush and in two fights first versus Sunspot and then Silver Surfer the indestructible (Worthy Opponent synergy) did not proc and I was KOed and had to use revives. I strongly believe the issue is with the Worthy Opponent Synergy @Kabam Porthos @Merciless as there was nothing in the the opponents abilities or on the nodes which should have stopped this from being activated.

There was a discussion on this yesterday - if you get knocked out by anything other than a hit from the opponent (poison damage, incinerate, bane, etc) it doesn't trigger the synergy as the synergy only procs if you are knocked out by a direct hit

Thanks @Capn_Dante This makes sense for the Sunspot fight but doesn't explain why it occurred in the Silversurfer one

It could have been the energy damage that silver surfer deals with each hit - probably does not count as a direct hit (for example, you took a hit, but then the energy damage dealt after the hit knocked you out)
