Warlock Bugged in Winter of Woe

Oliverbambino

Ive noticed this was pointed out in other threads, However it seems to be an after thought.

The robot objective is by far the hardest of the 3 objectives.

I'm writing this as Warlock imo is Probably the best counter if he works normally. Was also wondering what the timeline on a fix for his viruses would be?

he currently only places his virus' on parry which is understandably problematic for the fight.

thanks again.

The timeline is soon. There is a bug that makes all your attacks non-contact. So once that fix goes live, don't let abs man have a refined sp2 or you're dead.

I havnt seen any posts recognizing the issue either. I cant stand using Gully 99, so ill likely wait for the fix or this week is my one skip point available

Is warlock after the bug fix a better option if he’s rank 4 only and g99 is 7* r2?

It's because their spaghetti code

Hey gang.

The game team was made aware of this issue pretty immediately and has been working to resolve it.

They have just pushed through the following change to remedy the issue:

Adaptive Override changes
The buff description will now read: "All of the Attacker's Special Attacks and Basic Attacks are overridden to be Contact Attacks and to deal only Physical Damage or only Energy Damage. The Attacker starts with Physical Damage and whenever the Attacker knocks the Defender down with a Heavy Attack, this damage override cycles."

Previously the buff was making it so that the Attacker's attacks were neither contact or non-contact, which was making them not trigger effects when hitting the Defender. Warlock will now be able to inflict virus charges on any of his attacks. Absorbing Man as a Defender in Refined Magma form will now be able to inflict incinerates on the attacker when the attacker hits him with an attack.

So this bug unintentionally made the fight harder

So i just took Warlock in and he is still not applying virus charges on basic hits or hitting into block he can only apply 4 on parry so is fix pushed out or was it a failure?

Yes warlock isn’t heal blocking as he’s supposed to. Still bugged. Lots of units wasted on revives. Appears nothing is working right. This, incursions screen goes black, raids pushed back.
