Falcon doesn't stop Magik's limbo damage?

Folks, just playing AQ Map 4, why my Falcon dies of Magik's limbo even when locked-on?
My 5* r5 Falcon died in 10 seconds without taking a single hit.
Shouldn't he stop that happening?

    Mini-boss node in AQ, all normal, no messing with his AAR

    Can some of the admins move the topic to bugs and issues, please?

    Just tried dueling Magik with Falcon, fight vs 13k Magik with 1.3k 4* Falcon with no problems at all, all works as it should.
    What happened in AQ??

    That's because limbo is not necessarily a defensive ability, it depends on how it was activated.

    What could be different in AQ then?

    He could be referring to her defensive limbo triggered when you push her over a bar of power vs when she triggers it offensively when she activates her specials. I could just be talking out of my *** though lol, because I don't really dive into the technical side of the game..

    Not AQ specific. There are two ways Magik can activate Limbo, out of which only one you can stop from triggering and that's the one that activates when she reaches 1 or 2 bars of power. You can't prevent the Limbo from triggering that activates when she uses a special attack (with Falcon Lock On).

    You probably know this, but he can only stop Limbo when he's locked on. When fighting Magik you have to be careful not to push her into Limbo when during cool down

    Falcon only stops limbo when Magik goes over a bar of power while he's attacking. If Magik is attacking, limbo will proc. It will also activate if she launches a special attack

    Folks, I locked her on right away, and hit her fast enough so that she got to 2 bars of power while still locked on, I know the drill, Falcon is my top champ.
    And limbo still killed me in a blink (she had 200% attack and health node active)

    Prey on the weak also comes im play.
    If you have dex, it will be consumed shortly after the attack, pushing her over a bar of power.

    Wait, that one I can't stop even if lock-on is active and she misses me? That would explain it, sorry for false allarm if that is the case

    Unless she has increased ability accuracy it's definitely a bug

    She did activate one sp2 that missed me, but if that is enough to take my r5 100% health in 10 seconds, great 😀

    did you have a force of will global modifier or something?
  • VlajkoKVlajkoK Member Posts: 80 ★
    Nope, just tranquility

    Limbo can be offensive and defensive ability.
    You must have triggered it somehow, and it counted it as offensive.

    We don't have exactly a list where offensive and defensive abilities are clearly mentioned.

    Used Falcon against her on map 4. Mine worked fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Too bad I didn't record the fight, but I don't usually do that for every fight 😁

    Neither do I. But if I face a bug I try to record it the next time I do the fight
    This was a mini-boss fight in AQ, I will do it next time we do map 4 again

    Locked on only impacts defensive AAR. When she gets limbo because she throws a special that’s offensive AAR, not affected by Locked On.
