Knull Symbiote Attacks Don't Ignore Arcade's Auto Block?

Just doing some BGs and ended up having to take Knull against Arcade ... cool I thought needed to counter his auto block BUT apparently not. why were his symbiote attacks which gain inherent true accuracy still being auto blocked when they're supposed to shut down evade and auto block?

The next cycle ended up taking Medusa against Arcade and her same true accuracy auto block shut down worked fine.

What am I missing about Knull symbiote attacks not working against Arcade?

Arcade’s cheat code pre fight applies -100% true accuracy ability accuracy

It's like you don't even listen to your ally mates

Knull has passive True Accuracy on his symbiote attacks. One of Arcade’s prefights (which he always has active on defense) reduces the ability accuracy of True effects by 100%.

Nice of you to not blame in on bugs or kabam.

Deacon

yep I know BUT .. why does Medusa's true accuracy bypass this and Knull's does not?

Deacon

because they know nothing ie you LOL

ahmynuts

Is your medusa awakened? If so I'm going to assume fervor is bugged and is increasing the potency of her true accuracy

Deacon

she is. but i've tested this against a few other champs with true accuracy and they all bypass his auto block except Knull.

If you don’t mind, which champs did you test that supposedly worked? I tried it myself, and basically every true ability I’ve tested has failed to trigger against Arcade as it should.

The only one I found that did work was your aforementioned Medusa example, which is almost certainly a bug:

Attuma should work I guess.

*Yet

MoleGod and Attuma were the ones I tested ... I guess Attuma I get it with his reversal accuracy?? But I also tested Odin ... he doesn't even gain his true strike so I know about that. This situation is about True Accuracy.

I'm just curious as to why the disparity in some cases vs others. Medusa, MoleGod ... haven't had a chance to see if DDHK still does. And I hope I'm not going to promote any bug fix LOL ... just looking to understand it more so than anything because I use Knull quite a lot .. I would normally never use him against Arcade especially now knowing he won't work.

It was just a surprise .. I just expected him to be able to shut the auto block down. Now I know he won't.

Deacon

lol yeah no blame to assign anywhere. Was just looking for clarity.

SirGamesBond

Lol, And here we are, with that one post with the actual bug.

Squidopus

Yeah Attuma should work because Arcade reduces true accuracy AA and Attuma just converts that into an increase instead, that’s intended behavior. Mole-man, however, seems to be a case of order of operations; seems like his true accuracy triggers on fight start slightly before Arcade’s pre-fights come online so it doesn’t get shut off initially. If you lose the true accuracy you start with via entering frenzy or gaining too much mass, he doesn’t get it back once he returns to normal:

No real way to say if Mole-man’s case is a bug since it’s not inherently clear from descriptions. Regardless other true accuracy effects do fail as they should (see examples with Proxima, Kate, and Bullseye), it’s just Medusa that’s clearly bugged.

Deacon

no worries. i'll just stick to Undermine then lol. Not worth the headaches to understand it.

Average_Desi

Should be. Just like domino applies her AAR a split second after fight start and you can prevent it with quake
