Hercules Feat as last hit

JackDiamond

If you do a Hercules feat as the last hit in the fight (eg you KO them with an intercept) then the feat does not get registered, nor does the +1 Persistent Strength.

Feats really don't matter if there's no one to witness it.

The only place I’ve seen this come into effect is low level content where it doesn’t matter anyway

Not really, @Malreck04:

I was getting 6.2.5 to 100% - the global node is Do Not Go Gentle, so quite often I'd get them to 1 health and then KO, then use Hercules to finish them off. And when he finished them off it would often be an intercept, and I would get short-changed the Persistent Strength that could have helped in the next fights....

the reason I say it doesn't matter elsewhere, is that it should be quite simple to get the persistent feat for intercepting earlier on in the fight. I hope you know that only one of the intercept feats per fight are persistent throughout the quest.

So if you had intercepted at least once earlier in the fight, then that final intercept would not have helped you in the next fight

Yes, I did know that, thanks.
But as you can see from my example, it very definitely matters there.
And if you were wondering why I was using Herc like that, it's because often the fights were against Mystic so he was not a great fit, but it was a great chance to build up my Persistent Strength and if all went horribly wrong then there was always his immortality as a backup.
