Buffed nightcrawler bug

Hello, Kabam. I love nightcrawler buff and decided to test him. And I found that after his buff gambit relic doesn't work with him, in description stated, that when his instant bleed fails due to chance, relic will grant him bleed vulnerability. I've tested nightcrawler against Hercules in pain, and his bleeds get blocked but relic doesn't grant nightcrawler anything.
Also I've tried fighting him against armor up champions, but it didn't work either.
Can someone explain, is it broken or I don't understand something?

I also diceded to test this, and don't have any idea how to activate bleed vulnerability via relic. Maybe this interaction was designed before his buff and Kabam forgot to change it as well as havok sinergy

You are correct in that the synergy and relic were both designed around NC having imperfect bleed chance pre-buff. Kabam just never changed it when he was buffed to something more useful. It was definitely brought up when his buff launched but nothing’s been done about it.

As for the original post, I think that an ability “failing due to chance”, as specified by the Gambit relic, only covers an ability failing to trigger naturally and not due to AAR. I’m admittedly not certain about that, I may be wrong. Assuming I’m correct, does that make the relic ability literally useless for buffed NC? Yes, and I certainly think the ability should have been changed to work better with the new NC kit but as is I think it’s working as it should (which is to say it does nothing).

As to your armor up buff point though, that’s definitely working fine. NC’s bleeds suffer reduced potency per armor up buff on the opponent, not reduced chance to trigger. The relic only triggers if the bleed fails, but that ability just makes the bleeds weaker.

Thank you for clarification. I still hope they do something about it. For me doing nightcrawler a chase champion in last saga and still don't noticing and changing this type of interactions is strange. But maybe it some internal kitchen we don't know about. But they changed vox "fixed" değen timer after forum complain, maybe this time they will fix these interactions to

If someone knows how to attract attention of someone related to Kabam, please help. I just want to hear any answer. This bug is bothering me as a fun of nightcrawler
