How many hits does Hype l3 count as?

DoctorJ

Hi all, question for game team.

Normally as far as I understand, an l3 counts as a single hit. Hence why iceman ice armor can eat l3s .

However it seems to be working different with killmonger. You can see in the video below that hype l3 is taking away 2 indestructible charges. Curious as to why? Thanks

Probably has to do with km's abilities, not hyperion. Maybe try using km against someone with more than 3 hits in sp3 and see what happens

But thats the thing. An l3 should only count as a single hit, not as multiple. Its why iceman can eat an l3 and only take 5% health. This should technically eat only one indestructible charge , not 2.

Technically it should, but killmonger's indestructible charges are a newer mechanic and might work differently. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they get used up even through blocked hits?

An SP3 counts as a single hit in regards to damage taken (hence Iceman's ability to eat one), however the hit counter will still go up by the number of hits in the special.

This is shown in the Chadwick & Tom challenge with the 15-hit combo requirements. If you use a champ like Ultron and run a SP3 (25-hit combo), the AI won't take any damage because it's one damage source, but the counter will hit 15 and unlock damage for the first hit after the special is complete.

In the case of Killmonger, it sounds like his mechanics are based on number of hits and not necessarily the number of sources. This could very well be a bug, but would definitely warrant a review of KM's abilities (I don't have him at all, so I can't check).

I’m pretty sure no one at Kabam read this due to the title. KM still takes no damage, but an L3 from anyone eats up all of his Indestructible charges.
