How does despair work?

NoahSansmanNoahSansman Member Posts: 499 ★★★
Upon first glance, many people would assume that with despair maxed out, 20 ruptures on the opponent would stop or reverse their healing.

The description reads: Debuffs applied to enemies reduce their healing and regeneration effects by num% each. Up to a max of 100%.

So a member of my alliance dived into war, node 3, which was a serpent, and tried spiral against him. He stacked up his debuffs but he would never stop serpent's healing and he would never gain charges.

Why is this the case? Is it because it's a damaging debuff? Is it because its only 1 type of debuff? Any help or clarification is appreciated.

    I see. Thank you. But is that just for one type of debuff? Like if the opponent has 10 shocks and 10 bleeds, would that be a 200% reduction? I'm asking because I also do node 3 in war, and this war I used okoye and she worked amazingly.

    Nope. It does not consider unique debuffs. Whom were you fighting using Okoye? It's likely that the defender wasn't running Recovery mastery. Did you bring any synergies or prefights?

    No synergies or prefights, it must've been that he wasn't using recovery. Thank you it makes so much more sense now

    Probably should boot that loser

    Okoye also has partial AAR (maybe 35%?) from her ensnared debuff. That might’ve been helping you out.

    for node 3 despair does stack with other reductions. i used count nef for the node his ionic overcharge only does 95% reduction but despair make it more than 100% regen reduction giving him charges. also against a serpent on that node nef could cut him to pieces.

    Yeah that was stopping the regen from triggering as often, but believe it or not thats a bad thing. Since for the node you want to be triggering regen so you can stop it and gain charges

    That's why kabam should disable recovery mastery in that node.

    Regen rate goes from 100-0% and then to the negatives

    With how much you complain, I’m sure you have lost so many fights. I wouldn’t talk about booting people when you clearly have much room to improve

    This is why you're in prison pal. You are everything that is bad about the forums. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all :joy:

    I have made a very similar mistake, tho for me it was with Scorpion so I at least had an option with SP2 to use petrify. Sorry for your troubles tho

    I think you also need more than 100% reduction to get the charges from the war node - so even if they don’t have recovery on, you can pseudo-heal block but you’ll only get charges if you have another source of reduction.

    You also get charges when healing is prevented so just heal block is fine. No need to reverse it.
