Gwenpool Plot Armor not working?

Has anyone experienced Gwenpool being knocked out during a special attack. Did the way her plot armor is supposed to work change? I have survived Hyperion L3s with less than a 500 health but have been knocked by Iron Patriot and Black Bolt mid-special (both of them during their L2s which are the same form).

Just checking.

Hey there @12ftNinja. This was most likely caused by Assassin Mastery, which can reduce Gwenpool's abilities enough to get her killed by a Special. Hope this helps!

Ive noticed that if the Special attack being executed has more than one “hit”, she will survive the initial hit but the next will get the KO.

For example, I killed a Gwenpool in AQ with Rogues L1....Gwenpool survived the initial punch but th next contact (life steal portion) killed her

Good to know. Thanks.

@MattMan That’s probably it - Plot Armor only protects from a single hit. Each hit wouldn’t register enough to proc the plot armor protection.

Thanks!

Her special ability states it's "per hit" indicating it should survive multiple hits.

However, if your opponent has ability reduction, then you're more likely to die against a multi-hit special since she would need to endure multiple ability reduced hits.

Additionally, her armor does not protect you against any debuffs like bleed/poison/degen that would proc from the special attack.

@Dexman1349 Good point. That definitely explains why I *thought* it wasn’t working. I guess I should just stop getting hit by L2s....
