Why is this Apoc unblockable? - Help me investigate

Apoc in Cav EQ 3.2 vs. Guardian (pics above)

Here is what happenned:
Went in w Guardian for usual sp1-sp2 rotation bcs why not. My SP2 pushed him over his SP2. Apoc threw his SP2. I can't dex the attack so I decided to block the orbs he fires and then dodge the dropkick. However, the second orb broke my block. I didn't do any other inputs, I am 100% sure of that. I just held block in place. First orb I blocked, but got Concussion dunno why. Second hit me and the rest of the story is apparent from pics above.

Now, I am sure I held block and at least visually I blocked the first hit. Idk why I got Concussion. My health was at ca. 50-60% by that time, it was the damage that happenned after this that KOed me. So why did this happen? Is this intended or is it another bug/lag? I am aware that champs disobey my inputs, but the game always lags a bit, stops for a sec, which didn't happen now. During this, the game ran super smoothly, so I think there is some mechanic I am missing. I don't know Apoc much and a brief look at his kit and the nodes didn't give me answer.

Would anyone please explain it to me? I would like to know what to avoid next time. Thank you in advance!

Did it go unblockable or did it break your block and cause stun? If it’s the second, I would assume it’s some sort of glitch with apocalypse being able to block break that has carried into his specials.

It broke my block, I didn't see the "Unblockable" popping up. I could've missed it tho, I am not perfect.

Apoc breaks your block at 4 genetic codes . Did you notice his 4 persistent charges ? If not it could be a bug

He can only block break with light attacks, not specials. So this could be a bug.

As you can see on the screenshot, he has only 3 charges post fight and had 2 charges before he killed me (1 by default + 1 while defending non-final node)

Thank you for this input, I will try to report it to Kabam as a Bug in the appropriate section. Thank you!

Blocks being broken is nothing new that's been happening for a while now, especially when parry and dex barely working at times

Do you run suicides? This wouldn’t answer the block break issue, but if you do it would be explain why he was able to place a concussion on you without hitting. Apoc’s specials automatically place their debuffs on enemies already afflicted with damage over time debuffs.

As for how he broke your block, I’d assume it was just a moment of the game misreading your thumb as a swipe instead of a block. It happens sometimes where the game is overly sensitive.

You must be under the influence while playing and unknowingly released the block for a millisecond while chugging.

It’s probably a bug. I used vulture against this fight when I did it and I don’t remember having any problems.

Fighting under influence? Isn't that illegal or something?

I don't remember reading anything in the TOS about it, so i would assume that it's legal to play under influence of something as long as said thing is legal where you live ^_^

Tbh I feel like I play better under slight influence of some alcoholic beverage. But that is just theory

It is actually easier to dex the sp2 than Apocalypse sp1.. along as you have enough distance to clear the drop kick range.. you should be able to counter Apocalypse after the special attack.

How come he has 4 genetic code.
What am I missing?

He starts with 1.
He's defending +1
You used a mutant +2

This was first time I took a mutant against him. Like literally since he have been released.
I thought if I take a mutant his genetic code goes to 3. Rip my mistake.
Thanks for the quick reply...
Enough stoopidity for today!!

Captain_Montica

But when I am fighting apocalypse I can't dex his sp2
