Deathless Thanos Heavy Attack

I don't know if it is just me but is anyone else having the issue where Deathless Thanos' heavy attack isn't properly interacting with heavy attack-related nodes.

I think you might be right. Against that 9.4 Zola boss I was struggling to remove his charges, but only sometimes.

In practice mode against Zola, the first heavy always does not remove his charges. Very odd and real bug. I know a lot of people lost revives in Epoch from Thanos's heavy failing to trigger with Idoom and Aegon's nodes.

As well as other prior posts too.

Wasn’t working for MCoC Noob in the Ares Epoch fight either.

Nice.

In BGs i have the same issue. I think that is in every game mode.

Yup its a bug noticed it against ZOLA last night, his heavies dont reduce ZOLAs counter

Yep lost 4 revives against epoch Aegon solely because of that. I then stupidly forgot and brought Thanos again for a path in 9.4 with the same node that he should have been perfect for. Pretty frustrating.

I think Kabam intentionally broke DThanos to make us spend more revives in Villains Carina run and 9.4.

I struggled a few fights with DThanos in Carina Epoch run. Where you have to use heavy to counter the node. I said many warm words to Kabam while was dying because Thanos heavy is not registered.

It will be very annoying if we have to wait until the next update for this bug to be fixed. D Thanos was my first rank 5 and this bug is nerfing him hard.

It seems an intermittent problem. I've been testing DThanos Vs Zola in practice mode, the ESP charges do come off, but only about a third of the time.

Of course, there may be other factors involved which might make it fail more in content than it does in Practice mode.

Interestingly, I didn't see them come off on the first heavy attack during a single test...

I would like to add that this might not just be a DThanos problem. I tried using Bishop for the Power Sting Weapon path in 9.4.5 story, where you capture the Weapon and invalidate a Prowess by knocking down with a Heavy. I could not get either of those effects to trigger with Bishop at all, not even inconsistently. It just never worked at all.

It's about time we have to bring back the forbidden C word.

Will be going to comment in relevant threads.

We were able to reproduce this with Thanos and are investigating. Have not been able to reproduce with anybody else. So if anybody has videos of it not working for other champions please post them.

It is, but I’m not sure that’s what causes the bug, since after I gave up on Bishop I used Professor X and Leader, both of whom have non-contact Heavies, and faced no issues on that path.

Then again, I just tried Bishop against Zola since that’s the example everyone is bringing up with DThanos and from my quick 10 or so attempts, Bishop’s Heavy didn’t fail to remove charges once. Went back to that 9.4.5 path just to confirm that Bishop doesn’t work there and he definitely doesn’t. So maybe they aren’t even related issues actually, because if they aren’t then it’s very inconsistent on how it manifests.
