CAIW — 6.3 Bo’s fight Special attack cycle.

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but my searches come up with threads that have nothing to do with this.

If Cap is supposed to cycle through specials (surging vengeance), why is he skipping them?

Cap launches special 1, I then push his to Sp3, he launches it anyway. So what gives?

The node description does not match the behavior of Cap. Or is this node really that poorly worded?

I definitely wondered this also. I think the node could be worded better.

He throws special attacks in order, unless he overshoots the current one, than it skips ahead.

Example: if he’s at sp2 to throw and has one bar of power. He won’t throw the Sp1. Push him above 2 bars and he should throw the sp2. Push him to 3 and he skips the sp2, and moves on to 3 in the cycle. Then he’s back to 1

You need to bait out each special attack in order. If you push him straight to sp2 off the bat, he will use that and then his next special is going to be sp3.

@Riptide @QuikPik i hate to be the “actually guy” but if you push a surging vengeance opponent to their sp2 before they’ve thrown sp1 they actually just don’t use it at all and save for their sp3

don’t hate to be that guy in this case

it is important to note that if at anytime you push him to the next power bar before he’s thrown the special it automatically goes to the special 3

Damn didn't know that !

Neither did I until I got corrected in exactly the same way in a thread about this very topic a couple months ago

That boss is annoying. The kinetic shield ruins all damage done while it’s up because it’s never dealt to caiw since it’s not crit damage 😂

QuikPik

That's why I rushed to complete it with Ronan before they changed him.

@BitterSteel @SpideyFunko

Thanks for the correction!

some of us learned this the hard way

Has anybody tried shang chi against this boss? I feel with about 20-25 chi charges, one sp2 should be enough for the cap iw boss.

Hit Monkey with MLM combo works great for cap, even better if you have a Heimdall to cheat death, takes a few revives but was my cheapest option at the time.

Also, Spider Ham and Starky should work. I found Ham's taunt better, but Starky's damage was better.
And don't use Guardian for his taunt. He can't crit.

If you push him over the one he’s meant to use he just goes to sp3 and uses that, just how the node works and how it always has

Then that should be put in the description so it’s clear. The way it’s worded now is sloppy and to not make it more clear is just lazy.

Would Hercules's infuiiate work as a taunt to make him throw specials?

The reason that isn't in the description is because taunt exists. You can get him to throw sp1 after sp1 with a taunt champ. If you wanted a super accurate, but really long description then it would say. At start of fight, defender has 100% normal chance of launching sp1 and sp3. After special it cycles to sp2 and sp3, then it goes to sp3, then it restarts again. Which that in and of itself would be more confusing to people than what they already have.

It would be more clear then and Kabam has no problem making extra large descriptions of abilities…. Look at some of the champs that require a bloody tomb to describe all their mechanics….

Not sure why a tomb was your best choice of words. Even an obituary would have been better. Or, as I like to call it, tsunami of text before the actual recipe.

Either way, the wording does need updating.
