Annihilus Question

How come his power is drained on a transducer node when he’s immune to power drain?

Comments

He and King groot have weird interactions with power drain nodes
They work for some, don’t work for others. I have never understood why they don’t work for some nodes like this.

Was his cosmic rod removed by any chance ? Only then it is possible.

Nah Rohit. Even King Groot isn’t immune to Transducer even though it clearly says “drains power”

It’s Kabam logic, can’t blame

Try terrax for that node, observe the interactions. Idk how the champ performs

This happens for Terrax, KG and other champs immune/resistant to Power Drain.

It's a bit like how Hulk Ragnarok should trigger Face Me! on nodes like Bane, Flare or Life Transfer. But he doesn't, because it would be game-unbalancing if he did.

In the same way, immunities to Power Drain don't apply to Transducer, as otherwise those champions would be throwing regular SP3s.

You'll probably find that the Immunity does kick in to "Use It or Lose it" because that won't unbalance the game.

@Kabam Miike to follow up, is Annihilus functioning as intended?

OP was on a Tuesday. Does he not answer in weekdays either?

Hey @Guytennis I thought I'd dig up this thread for an update. Bug fix incoming, in v36.3:

@Magrailothos appreciate you.

Don't know how "game-unbalancing" it would be if his Face Me! worked everywhere it should. Now if there was a champ that passively converted Unstoppable and Unblockable effects to degen passives, that would be unbalancing with how much those are spammed everywhere.
