Multiple power stings on an SP2?

SnakeDoc

Every time time I use an SP2 2 against yellow jacket boss in uncollected event, and it doesn’t matter which character, I get multiple power stings and get Ko’d.
Is this working as intended or is it a bug? I know about the node that makes power sting last forever but unless something changed I thought is only supposed to be one sting per special attack.
Happens on new iPad and iPhone 6s

That’s power sting 3.0. It’s part of the node. Forces you to bring damage over time champs.

What seems a bit odd is that if you have multi-hit specials, you seem to take the Power Sting damage on every hit. . Surely that's not intended. Will try to screenshot.

It's not a new node. The previous one worked the same way, so I guess it is intended

Power sring 3.0 makes the power sting permanent.

The original power sting only triggers for the first attack of any special then goes away.

Since the 3.0 power sting is permanent it triggers for every single attack within the special.

The worst part of that video is the fact that YJ was able to block the sp attack.

The AI recovery speed is too fast and sucks sometimes.

SnakeDoc

It has to be a bug cuz I only get hit with 1 power sting on multiple hit sp1.

Icecold2099

I used killmonger sp2 and take damage for every hit.

What champs sp1 are you using and only taking damage on 1st hit of multiple?

rockykoston

Don't. Use. Specials.

SnakeDoc

@rockykoston that’s not the point. I can easily do it without specials. I’d like to know if it’s a bug though.

@Icecold2099 I tried with blade sparky and Medusa sp1. Only one power sting procs

GroundedWisdom

It's not a bug.

I have always been able to stack multiple power strings with mine since he was released usually around 3

Rafikii

Hes wondering why EVERY hit is procing power sting on his sp2, but it only procs once on other specials. he realizes theres powersting guys...

It's because it stings for every hit and then goes away but since its permanate then its unlimited

you're missing the point. the YJ he is talking about is in the monthly quest.

GroundedWisdom

He has Bio 3.0. He's not getting multiple Stings. The Sting is present the entire Fight. What you're seeing could be the Debuff refreshing to stay active the entire Fight, but nevertheless, it's active the whole Fight.
TL:DR - Use a Special, you die.

Bear3

It’s so stupid people just “have to understand”. He stings on all hits of your special? Then yeah I guess he does! Can beat him without specials? Then do it. Stop wasting people’s time and forum space. This isn’t an issue. DEAD THREAD.

SnakeDoc

If a mod could confirm it activates multiple per special that would be great. Because the way it reads makes it seem like regular biosting but it's just on every special attack. Not it can hit you multiple times in the same special attack.

Dexman1349

3.0 is inflicted at the beginning of the fight (look at the red debuff under your health bar) via the node buffs and will kill you if you use a special attack. There doesn't seem to be any dispute over that.

In your case, you're running the GR synergy to activate Danger Sense. Danger sense only has a 40% reduction to ability accuracy, so it appears that the Biosting was activated for each hit of the special until the AA reduction RNG missed and you died. Each hit of a special attack is treated as a separate SP. Even SP3 even though it's only 1 source of damage.

When I used Blade, I would fight until I had built up a SP3. Then when my health was really low, I'd fire it off knowing that Biosting acts after the SP3 as opposed to before the attack for SP1 & 2.

The only time I was able to fully fire off special attacks was with a stack 3+ neurotoxins with a duped Archangel, then you can fight him like normal. It even allowed me to block the attacks and/or ignore Biosting 2.0

Palito_Diaz

Just don't use specials to avoid power stings. He's easy with AA.

Maldera

Lol these guys don't get what you're asking. Yes it seems like a bug that every hit in a special attack is proccing a biosting damage. So characters with multiple hits, like blade l2, in their specials receive more damage than those with only a single hit, like iron man l1.

TheLegend27

Yea, IDK why that's happening, if it's intended, or if it's a bug. Power Sting = direct damage upon activation of a special attack. Power Sting 3.0 = direct damage upon every hit from a special attack.

I went into the fight (also with my Blade) thinking that it would only activate once at the beginning of my special 2 attack, but it ended up doing direct damage on every hit of my special.

YJ's description says "...direct damage when ACTIVATING a Special Attack." I would assume that same description would apply to Power Sting 3.0 and that this is a bug.

NotSOLGarion

A lot also seem to miss the it only activates once on multihit sp1s as opposed to every hit on multihit sp2s.

Whether it acts like biosting 2.0 or not, per activaiton or per hit, it should be consistent across sp1-3. That is what makes it seem very much like a bug.

This guy knows what hes talking about Blade + GR syenergy why would you need specials. Also AA is a great choice if you guys have him

I may need to go back and try this, but I was pretty sure I was hit multiple times with it on multi hit sp1.

When I used my Blade with trinity synergies, I’d only get hit with one power sting on my L2. It might be midway through the special (my guess due to danger sense) but I’d get hit once and die.

Patchie93

With the trinity ive been able to use sp2 without getting hit by any power sting thus far. But I'd imagine the idea of getting hit multiple times because it keeps reactivating sounds the most plausible atm

SnakeDoc

I was using the trinity in that video and all other paths in that quest. Always multiple power stings on sp2 with blade only 1 with sp1s.
Gotta be a bug

Welderofortune

I was running thru with sabertooth 1 persistent charge left and 11 furies and hit him with my sp1 and he KOed me with zero hits it was kinda depressing.
