Bishop Unblockable under 10 prowess?

Boomhauer_1

I'm probably just missing something (which is usually the case), but why is Bishop throwing unblockable sps when he's under 10 prowess (zero to two/three) and not in meltdown?

BitterSteel

When you say meltdown, do you mean overloading?

Because my question would be was he overloading, by having a bleed/incinerate/shock on him because that makes his specials unblockable. But if by meltdown you mean than, then my question is void!

Yep. Meant overload. And I totally missed the part that bleed essentially puts him in overload- but it also doesn't indicate overload on the screen with a bleed. Just when he goes over on prowess

I can see it in the test I did, is it possible that may have just slipped past you during the fight? There are a lot of things to keep track of.

I mean, to be fair there are some issues with icons disappearing when there are a lot on screen.




If you could grab a screenshot of bishop while he’s bleeding, or screen record we might be able to figure out what’s going on.

Bishop goes unblockable when bishop wants to go unblockable!

BTW, which timers should I keep track on when using AA against him? I can’t one shot him with 5*r5. I just parry heavy, push him to SP2 and bait it, but my life gone suddenly during mid of the fight even I didn’t get hit. I didn’t throw any SP too. Thanks.

You need to throw special attacks in order to transfer the Meltdown timer to Bishop. If you don't, you'll take damage. That's annoying with Archangel since you'll be heavying Bishop a lot, pushing him away, which will drain you of your power and make it even more difficult to throw special attacks when you need to.

Yep, just gotta keep redoing it until you have a cooperative AI. I had about 10 runs where he just threw sp1s while I was blocking and far away from him too 🤦‍♂️

Thanks. I missed the meltdown meter.

Most of the time I hold my block against Bishop in EOP he is throwing his SP1 into my block. Makes no sense as no one else throws a special while you’re blocking. And of course if it’s a SP2 I’m trying to bait out he won’t throw it.
