About Yellowjacket
After learning the science behind Hank Pym’s astonishing shrinking suit, the ruthless tech mogul Darren Cross devoted his resources to creating a prototype suit with similar abilities. Cross envisioned this high-power cybernetic rig as a means to take modern warfare to a new level, personally overseeing its retrofitting and weaponization. Cross dons the imposing armor himself in hope of achieving final victory as Yellowjacket!

An issue with that node is that rather than causing damage "If they activate" a Special Attack, it actually causes the Power Sting damage to occur on Every hit of a Special Attack.
This is a real problem if you're using champions who have multi-hit special Attacks. Does this affect every hit of a multi-hit attack? And if so, is that intended?
Sig 121 5* is 14.01%
but kabam can do either of two thing:
1. power sting mechanic easily build up. (may be parry)
2. Increase his attack so play with him feels better
1. Meltdown shouldn't give him a 75% chance for additional damage, it should be 100%.
2. During Meltdown, using a special attack should grant more of the additional damage, otherwise it's not worth calling it a burst of damage.
3. Although he has a good utility kit, but the duration of the slow and petrify could be increased, or a way to refresh them could be available like the fourth light hit at the expanse of 5 charges.
Abilities that stay for less than 15sec are way to short specially for this mechanique who does not give him some crazy damage it's pretty much regular
Also the energy damage on meltdown with specials should be higher something like 15/20% damage instead of 800 !
Imo i was pretty disapointed in yj buff since there is way few good sciences in the game as of now was hoping he'd be my first r3 science but no way with this Kit
Hear This :
### All Buffs should give champions a way to deal some good amount of damages ou don't tell someone he is a utility champ bcz when you are facing a 200k+ opennents like everywhere in the game he is worthless without the damages
i'd rather bring a champ who cannot slow/petrify and deal lots of damages instead of staying 40min on a fight
Add the sp3 power sting to the mix, and he hits almost as good as Spider-Ham.
If you launch the S3 three times, then enjoy.
