Medusa is broken

in Bugs and Known Issues
Medusa sig ability is that she can auto block when struck TWICE. She is auto locking now on the first hit after living strands pops up. It is the second hit of that combo, but it’s the first hit since living strands pops up. This happened to me in war against Medusa boss so I wanted to verify I wasn’t seeing things, so I fueled her. Sure enough, same thing. Will post video when this forum allows me to

    Not sure why this won’t let me load videos. I have in the past.

    true strike's been buffed to bypass autoblock not sure if that had any effect here but thought id remind everyone.

    to add on a question, is living strands auto-block supposed to be able to parry?

    Medusa and Thor rag auto blocks are supposed to parry. Modok’s wasnt. I don’t know if true strike change has anything to do with this issue. Just would like an answer from kabam. I know at least one other from my alliance has sent in a ticket on this as well.

    There is nothing wrong with Medusa it is more like a text error.

    Just to be clear @Boboman , it’s your view that it’s not supposed to be the second hit after living strands activates but that it can be the very first hit when living strands pops up?

    Bc nothing in that description tells me that the first hit once living strands pops up can trigger autoblock
  • djr17djr17 Member Posts: 717 ★★★
    It also doesn't say the first of two hits has to come after living strands activates, either.

    It says “when struck twice” she can autoblock “for the cost of three furies.” My reading of that is that she has to be struck twice when the furies are up. If that’s not what is intended by that wording, kabam should clarify it. Bc it’s extremely misleading.

    Under your reading, it would mean that after the first hit in the fight, if you ever struck her again while the three furies were up, she could autoblock you. That is not something I have ever seen occur.

    As my initial post said, this is a very specific issue: the second hit of a combo, when the first hit of the combo hits before living strands and the second hit of the combo hits after living strands activates, that second hit is triggering autoblock. In other words, it’s the first hit she receives when she has 3 furies. I have never been autoblocked hitting her once with three furies active. Thus, your reading has to be incorrect, or Medusa is way more broken and should be an even better defender than she already is.

    Wording is very unclear, but seems to be the same behavior as previously.

    @Run477 whom were you using? only thing I can think of is if you used Drax and the second part of his hit might have triggered auto block.

    Medusa has red hair.

    Bug. It happens, but not frequently enough. Similar to how sometimes CWBP reflects stun by using up the armor up he gained after being stunned or miles evading with 0 charges

    The miles thing was a bug that I think they fixed. Cwbp, I assume, is an issue with pacify mastery or assassin mastery. It may also be a weird bug, who knows.

    In war I used blade. Then tried it again in duel with a gr. Same thing. Neither of those have that kind of issue like Drax.

    It definitely happens that way. Whether intentional or not im not sure. Gotta be careful when she has two furies
