Power sting in incursions - way too much

Literally, every other buff I receive is related to power sting, It's such a niche debuff. I feel it should be removed or massively toned down. Does anyone else keep running into it or just me?

are you talking about power stings on you or the defender

Hacks that boost your power stings on them.

Luckily I took spider ham and scorpion on my first run so I was heavily benefitted. And then I ran into idoom without switching champs and got wrecked

If you get the bleed causing power sting one, it goes really well. The degenerate one I agree pop up too much, but the power sting and all the armor up ones went great with my nick and Howard

Unless you meet up a bishop or Elsa lol. But i agree there seen to be a lot of power sting hacks that pop up, but it's been that way since they introduced those hacks.

Unfortunately my end met with a dark hawk I didn’t have a counter for. I best him, but he took out 2/3 of my team

I can confirm that to

I think that's what ruined Incursions the first time -- they changed the hacks to ones that we couldn't use.

So they still haven't fixed it huh

Im still having this issue. This is an incredible pain to get into later zones and consistently have useless hacks.

Same, getting too many Power Sting Hacks as an option.

Is there really a different Hack that puts a Sting on opponent when you Bleed them ?
I had a couple where Parry, or ending combo, would Bleed them, but never had one where Bleed also caused Sting. (albiet, limited play so far)

Degen with impact purge is so much fun

I'm seeing the power sting hacks constantly too.

It got me wondering if Scorpion's debuffs count as power stings. I know they definitely act like a power sting, but I think the text that pops up when they're triggered says "Sting Burst", and I didn't see anything in his description that explicitly states the words power sting.

I feel like they're probably not treated the same way, but thought I'd ask if anyone could confirm that through first hand experience.

Thanks in advance,

I hope Kabam finds a way to fix this soon. The hacks are practically useless for Mutant, Skill & Mystic champs… as I too get either sting or degen choices every time.

Yeah, it's called hemostatic charge, it's a rare hack (one that you can get after defeating the boss).
