“How can one remove what has not been activated in the first place?”
Bueller?
Once per fight when receiving damage that would result in a knockout, gain an Immortality Buff preventing death and making Hercules Unblockable for 9.00 seconds. Immortality is paused during personal Special Attacks or while landing Basic Attacks and is removed if struck by Special Attack 3.
Nowhere does it say that Immortality is prevented if struck by Special Attack 3. It says "removed".
This is clearly a nerf. And to those who're saying "what's the big deal", I say that this is a big deal because not only does Hercules gain immortality buff but also he becomes unblockable. And, according to me, it is this unblockable ability of Hercules that allows him to not only cheat death but also KO the opponent, if played right, without the need of revives in end game content. Yes, this is a nerf and this is a big deal because had it not been so, Kabam would not have cared about fixing the "bug".
Also, Developer's Note states the same - Hercules’ Immortality mechanic is a very nice “get out of jail free” card when making a mistake that would normally kill him. Additionally, if playing aggressively – which is made a lot easier due to being Unblockable – Immortality can be kept up for quite awhile and allow Hercules to swing the fight back into his favor!
The way I see it is this - Kabam realized they made Hercules too good and they decided to nerf him silently. Just as they decided to indirectly nerf/weaken Ghost and Quake with True Focus in AW.
I don't know about others but I feel quite duped. One of the reasons that made me want Hercules is his cheat death/get out of jail ability - by able to eat SP3 and make a comeback with unblockable. And I believe that this ability (besides the prestige factor and the fact that he's a great damage dealer) must have also played on the mind of numerous other players who were grinding for him in the arenas for endless hours (and setting personal best records), as well as pumping $$$$$$ into buying featured cavalier crystals, all with the hope of pulling Hercules.
Don't get me wrong. Hercules is still great and will continue to be one of the best champs in the game. But I don't think he's as great as he was a week ago. Corvus Glaive and CGR must be having a great laugh now.
With your logic, it not only applies but is then immediately removed…mind you all during one sp3. 😂 Funny I never see any buffs during the sp3 animations?
2) The knock out blow of an sp3 is removing something defined as being removed by an sp3? Exactly.
3) special 3s that interact with buffs surprisingly interact with buffs.
4) status effects are not shown during sp3s.
5) finally his immortality buff was bugged upon release. It was not properly interacting with many abilities it should have, the sp3 being one of them.
You cannot answer this question with any logic, because the truth is it has not yet been applied.
2. This is what we call magic, because it never applied.
3. 100%. Let’s just allow the buff to apply in the first place as defined by his sig ability.
4. Meh you clearly don’t understand sarcasm.
5. Stick to the facts. Many things can still affect it, nullify, stagger, aar, assassins for instance. I would not call that bugged, but a lack of knowledge and true understanding of the game.
Applies on a knockout blow yes EXCEPT IS REMOVED BY SPECIAL ATTACK 3. He goes to zero health in SP3, immortality can't activate and he dies because it's an SP3.
This has been in his written abilities since day 1. This info hasn't ever changed.
Even to your point of "not seeing buffs during sp3 animations" it even calls out that it pauses during his SP3. Of course no buffs are show on SP3's because of the cut scene type of animation. Doesn't mean that they aren't there or have activated.
Your comment literally adds nothing constructive to the conversation and is illogical. You simply cannot remove something that has not been applied per his sig ability. AND absolutely not how he operated and/or was advertised all of July.
Again, he was never advertised as having a sp3 tanking ability. His spotlight is Kabam's advertisement of him and it's stayed the same.
It's sucks you can't read very well. It says it right in his kit of what happens.
Buffs can't activate during a special three, never have been able to.
How can you remove something that wasn't there?
P.s. buffs activate during s3s. LC is an easy example.
