Even if this is bugged the description worries me. 10 prowess means defender hits sp3 in 3 seconds from empty. This will be fun. Maybe they should just delete it entirely
This is a minor thing compared to the larger problems of the two Tactics, but the champion pool doesn't match up to the announcement either. Armor Burn lists Howard the Duck, Magneto, and Ultron but they don't have the tag in-game (looks like Scarlet Witch OG, Psylocke, and Red Skull instead).
this is obviously bugged.... and i did die to sauron 10 times in a row... on path5. @Kabam Miike@Kabam Jax there also seems to be an unintended interaction vs prowess power champs on path5, where the node "checks" for a purify, and gives them a prowess from the start of the fight, without getting hit. that interaction surely cannot be intended.
Hey there, the team is taking a look into this. It looks like it is giving more Power than was intended.
@Kabam Zibiit the power gain seems to be doubled for each prowess but the bigger problem is that the attack tactic is only draining .01% of power per armor up. The original post where the global was announced stated that per armor up there will be 5% power drain which means it would scale to 25% with 5 armor ups. Please look into this as well. Also Howard the duck was listed as a global attack champ but he is not showing as one in the game.

Ultron isnt added either but he was tagged earlier.
@Kabam Zibiit Is this tactic gonna be fixed before the next off season war, or at least taken off the table? I use off season to rebuild loyalty and would rather not have to go through the same stuff with this next war. Thanks
As mentioned previously, the team is aware of the issue with Prowess Power causing defenders to gain Power at a faster rate than intended, and are working on a fix. They're also working on resolving a display issue with Armor Burn's text indicating it burning less Power than intended, as well as an issue where some attackers who should be benefiting from Armor Burn are not, due to an issue with their tags. The team's working to getting these sorted out as quickly as possible, and as soon as we have more concrete info to share on when the resolutions can be implemented, we'll be sure to let folks know.
Its just a terrible node design. Passive power gain is going to suck no matter how you slice. I can easily spend 5-10 seconds just trying to bait a special.
Can easily spend a minute baiting a sp the way the AI gets sometimes
I fear with even half the power gain. It might still be too strong. With 10 skill defenders and colossus being the one decent mutant with actual armors. It doesn't seem like this tactic was well thought out

Can we get a timeline on this…? Kind of hard to plan around a broken tactic for the actual season
Now that defender tactic is working as intended. The power drain in the attack tactics champs is so low that even with 5 armors you drain almost nothing (5% max). When the prowess are activated or in the nodes that has prowess (specially agression:prowess and combatr deja Vu - prowess) , You are in this state the defender goes up and down one bar of power each time you attack him.

Assign future antman for every fight. Trust me. (That's if you have him)

Definitely not working as intended.
Champs who get their prowess removed still gain power non stop. It’s broken.

Yeah everyone has him /s
I got lucky. he's been breezing through this defense tactic even with the bugs. At least he's in the next featured in what 20 days?
This doesn’t even show the full story… I have the video. During Korg’s sp1 on node 22 he pretty much managed to gain sp3 by the time he finished… It’s Taken 25 revives to get him to this health level
Please for the love of the game at least remove the critical hit component of this tactic. You’re going to lose players to retirement with this tactic if you don’t make it reasonable. Most of this prowess comes from critical hits and it makes 0 sense to put champs like Sunspot on the attack tactic for this very reason
If the tactics don't receive a substantial nerf, we'll get to see some interesting war videos & overall a lot less players going hard in competitive AW for next 2 season This just isn't fun for anyone.....not even for the top tiers Officers will be ripping their hair planning attack....I have been one & I know how stressful it can get
Aggression prowess nodes are just brutal The defender goes slightly passive for a few seconds (which they really like to do these days) & u're dead.....there's absolutely nothing that u can do about it other than putting on indestructible boost & hoping that u don't eat a 4th Sp3
Put a Kingpin on that node & he'll stun the attacker to death It's hard to fathom which brilliant minds came up with this without appropriate testing
It’s just an all around bad tactic that wasn’t tested properly before release. Only tech champs have a way of getting around prowess which is so limited.

I've managed to get solo win against Bishop on node 48 with Prowess Power defense tactic.
I hope it will help anyone.

better deactivate this new global node for this season, so you would have time to review it for the next one. Better to do that than having to end the season in the middle.
