Hello, I've been wondering on when will I know if there is no special 3 activated on an enemy? I know there are nodes which says that there is a special 3 activated, so I automatically think that they do not have special 3 if there is a node that doesn't have a warning about special 3 being activated. But I just fought an enemy in AQ and there was no warning but the special 3 was used.

    In AQ the only enemies without s2 are the sentinels

    I think so yes.
    In early story quests they don't have s3, if there's no local node on the champ that says s3 is active then it's not buy they will still have 3 power bars.

    I think "special 3 activated" means that when that fight starts your opponent already has his power bar filled and can zap you with an L3 right from the start. It has nothing to do with them only having 2 power bars like the sentinels do.

    No that information is wrong. It is as the OP found. Special 3 means they are capable of launching an SP3 during the fight, it is not the same as "Power Start" which is what you are describing. (Bishop can theoretically start with an SP3 because he persists power).

    In AQ & AW, all enemies except sentinels can launch an SP3 (The sentinels only showing 2 bars).

    I think he is talking about global nodes in quest where it says warning l3 active

    Special 3 is only deactivated in reg and event quest that don't specify otherwise everything else there are special 3s active

    The only pace you will see activated L3 will be arenas AQ/AW, and quests where a node says “WARNING: a third attack special has been activated”
