Someone else mentioned this bug recently and posted a vid this week. I don’t think Kabam ever commented or acknowledged it. I will post vids showing this bug shortly. Hope Kabam can fix this and fix this soon.

    Kabam awknowledged it ages ago when it started happening. It happens way less often now, so part of it must have been fixed.

    I was the one who linked the vid, we were acknowledged by an administrator who said they would look into it

    This has been happening since I got her as a 4*, so for a year and a half for me now.

    I think it only happens when she gets hit, not when she is hitting and power steals.

    No, that's power drain, completely different. When you hit her there's a chance that both champs power will reset. However, whenever she crits there's a chance to steal power, which is currently bugged

    Weird as mine seems to work correctly all the time

    ^ Not for me.

    Every fight with SW, her power steal shows her losing power when it triggers

    What's up with this?? This has been happening for all of December and we're into January now. She's still losing power when she power steals. This shouldn't just be *under investigation*. I would hope this is fixed in the next update this coming week.

    I thought it was meant this way, it has always been this way since I started playing this game. Lol
  • SgtSlaughter78SgtSlaughter78 Posts: 462 ★★★
    I actually thought that it was meant to be like this, i.e. power goes from both opponents!

    That’s a shocker if it’s a bug and it’s taken so long with no fix in place.

    Again, and I hate to sound negative, but bugs that benefit players are jumped on instantaneously while these kinds of things are left on the shelf as part of a ‘would be nice to do if we have time’.

    Pounds and Dollars rule I guess.

    There is a difference between the power steal she does when she is the one hitting the opponent and the power that both lose when someone is hitting her. She used to steal power and now that takes her power away, when she hits, not when she gets hit. It’s annoying and definitely did not used to be like this. I can’t believe it’s intentional.

    Hey all. Just wanted to check in and let you know that I'm going to speak with the team about this today and see about an update. Thanks again for hanging in there.

    But i know 100% when she power drains both opponents get it
  • GwendolineGwendoline Posts: 945 ★★★
    When she GETS HIT both are affected. When she is the one hitting, she should not lose her power. This is a recent bug.
  • GwendolineGwendoline Posts: 945 ★★★
    Yes, it’s not super recent. But more recent then the pure skill issue :)

  • ZzzZzz Posts: 154 ★
    Yes, that's funny, i used my SW sometime keep drain mine power at the same time as opponent.

    This just happened to me for the first time in modok's lab. Did a double take because it happened as soon as I finished a combo and was about to fire off a special and it didn't go off because of it.
