Serpent true focus not nullified by mordo

Hi - I was playing around with Mordo in BGs VS serpent and realized that the true focus he gains on special activation is not being nullified by Mordo's block.

Mordo's sig states:

So blocking Serpent's specials should remove the true focus and replace it with a detonate buff since it is a true-type buff (right?). Tested it in practice mode with my serpent and I can't get any nullify at all. With my Mordo at sig 20 there's around 83% chance to remove it on each hit of the special (7 hits on sp1 and 4 on sp2) so that's very unlikely.

Out of the specials, letting Serpent hit my block is also doing nothing. Tried with sigil witch and she nullifies the true focus parrying serpent special with no problem.

Any thoughts? am I missing something? wasn't true focus added to the true-type buffs Mordo can interact with? is this a bug?

Thanks for the help!

What if he gets hit by the special?

Mord

If Serpent gets hit by a special the true focus is removed, regardless if you use Mordo or not.

Tested Mordo's interaction with true-buffs by blocking Odin's sp1 and his true strike gets nullified and replaced by detonate. So it should work with Serpent too, right?

What sig is urs btw since u could have gotten unlucky as it does say there 82% chance to nullify it so u could have gotten unlucky or have u tried using a max sig and still acts the same?

There is no way it doesn’t work since true focus is a true ability

captain_rogers

As I said in other post, trye focus is new ability nd most likely not coded for mordo's sig. You have to wait a few months for kabam to acknowledge it, and a few more to change it.

As mentioned in the op: sig 20 has a 83% to nullify each time serpent hits Mordo’s block. Tried around 10 duels, 2/3 sp1s per duel (6hits each)+ blocked hits afrerwards. I didn’t see a single nullify, not once. Not ever.

Tried with Odín, nullified true accuracy first time, first duel.

Feel free to test yourself and show me mordo nullifying serpent’s true focus. I have never aren mine doing it.

Seems like a bug more than anything intentional

Could be bug for sure i dont even know when mordo even got buffed

Mord

Well then so it’s maybe a bug or they forgot to add true focus to Mordo’s sig true-list.

Don’t want to tag any team member, hopefully they see this and clarify what’s going on

Thanks everybody for the comments!

What !??!! There’s a bug team?

Just wondering , do they work 1 day out of each month and do they only decide to look at 1 out every 15 bugs reported ?

“Enquiring minds want to know”.

I’m legit surprised there is a “bug team” or any QC. They certainly don’t check the bugs section of this forum and never did. They certainly don’t receive or act on all emailed , valid bug reports sent to support either. The joke is hearing there is a bug team while , say … Galan has been bugged for like a year and a half with zero acknowledgement or action taken.

Sorry to derail from the topic of this thread.

Please don’t take my calling them the bug team as any kind of official name, I’m just referring to the people in the content creator discord who we are currently communicating with about bugs. They do many other things aside from that

My man we all know how long-lasting some bugs are. But just look at the bug fixes section each month and you'll know they are not fixing one bug a month

Bendy

Seems this was already being fixed as its in the july patch notes

Awesome, thanks for the heads up!

captain_rogers

Good news, they are fixing it

Consoled an upset Mordo by letting him know True Focus counts as a True Effect and allowing him to Nullify it while blocking

Well it looks like they fixed it

Mord

Checked several times in duels with my serpent after updating and Mordo still can’t nullify true focus on block.

Not sure why it’s in the patch notes, but it was NOT fixed.

It's probably in August like SIM 😜

Maybe Mordo is still upset about how we disabled his astral evade

Surely an annoying thing to come across. I think there must be something different about True Focus compared to the other true-type buffs which came earlier in the game. If I'm not wrong, True Focus came down as a node at the first place right?

So True Accuracy, True Strike and the other buffs might be working in a different way than True Focus?

But the patch notes said they fixed of saying telling mordo true focus is a true affect buff that he can nullify

Hopefully kabam crashed or kabamdork can look into it to see what happened here
