Bad news Omega Sentinel Fans

Well, yeh, that was obvious
I think that it is of note that OS is the only robot that AA can place neurotoxin on. As “obvious” as that is, it is an interesting interaction, yea?

I'm more surprised that she is actually tagged as a #Robot than the way her "pseudo-immunities" work.

Does the ability accuracy reduction part work?

I don't recall her being a great defender in Cav EQ last month. Not sure who I used, but it wasn't AA.

Oh I used Corvus … and human torch.. just wondering the neurotoxin interaction is a bug or? Toad can probably use his paralytic poison also then?

Immortal

Her boss you mean ! Makes me wonder how her prestige is higher than her boss..

Omega Sentinel is a hybrid human android with robot abilities and human weaknesses.. unlike Sentinel, Nimrod, Nebula which are robots.. Nimrod and Ultron might be the better robot in the game (not accounting for prestige).

She is still classified as a robot in the game

Maybe because Androids are Humanoid Robots….

I guess I never thought about it that way. Robots have no special immunity to neurotoxin, rather it is bleed and poison immunity that does it. Anything immune to bleed or poison can't be neurotoxined, which is a lot of stuff. Every robot besides OS is immune to bleed and poison, but they are just some among many.

This is clouded in comic book haziness, but I believe Omega Sentinel is not a hybrid: she's been completely replaced with nanotechnology. She resembles a human and has what appears to be some human weaknesses because she's programmed to resemble a human. But a real human machine hybrid would not, say, survive being disassembled for an extended period of time.

I believe that's sort of the concept that the game loosely ties into with her abilities: she looks like she can bleed and she looks like she can be poisoned, but those effects (normally) don't actually do anything to her. It is appearance only. Of course, things like AA neurotoxin demonstrate that these mechanics do have real consequences in-game, but that's just how games works.

I'm not sure what that would be, but imagine it's like the original Gameboy Pokemon noises 😂

nebula is a cyborg actually(a luphomoid with cybernetic enhancements)

She is still classified as a robot in the game

If she has the “Robot” label (haven’t looked, but based on above), and since Kabam has previously used the definition that “Robotics are immune to Bleed/Poison”, then this apparently changes that definition of Robotics.

Since evidently now you can no longer rely on their terminology on pre-fight screen of “Robotics” to count on that champ actually being “Immune” (and not just “doesn’t take damage from”).
And since “Immune” has also always been defined as “can not get the Debuff applied to them”.
(which is why Corvus is not actually specified as being “Immune” to Bleed, but instead is worded about whether he takes damage from a Bleed debuff or effect), and Corvus could thus similarly get neurotoxin'd by AA because the Bleed debuff is still on him even if not taking damage from it.

So does the old meaning of Robotics need changing now ?

That’s honestly what I had in mind too, glad that came through

Isn't the term they use, "advanced robotics provide immunity to bleed and poison"? Not exactly a feature of #robots. But more like, "this robot has the advancements that make them immune to p and b"

SummonerNR

Ok, even though they all have the TAG for Robot, not all of them have the listed item called “Robotics” on the pre-fight select screen.

No it doesn't cause she's immune to AAR against mutants
