Hercules Damage after update

DetonatorAcc4

I noticed that Hercules' damage was reduced after the game update when using him in AQ.

same here, day 1 of AQ and i'm struggeling. He makes hardly any burst damage, maybe only 10% of what i was used to.

What do you expect Kabam thought no one was gonna notice the nerfs. I deadass still believe they nerfed him along with Hulkling and Valk silently but had to cover themselves when the community caught on. It doedoesn't help they changed Nimrod Kit and thought no one else would notice

This is the month Hercules will get buffed, as stated by Kabam in the Valkyrie and Hulking post (they confirmed Hercules was impacted too).

So if you are comparing him to 5 months ago or so, then yes he hits for far less damage, but will be fixed this month. If you are comparing him to last week then it's a different problem, hope that's not the case

I use Hercules for years in AQ Map8. I realy do compare him to the Herc until 2 Weeks ago

You are right he does less damage after last update. I've done some testing:

-after the "Armor Pen Bug", Hercules wasn't dealing increased damage when is armor penetration reached the maximum allowed value. For example in the RoL Winter Soldier fight, he wouldn't deal increased damage after 4 Feats of Strenght

-after March Update, Hercules doesn't deal increased damage at all. Armor Pen is completely useless, no matter how many Feats of Strenght he has

I had a table ready for the comparison between "bugged" Hercules and "fixed" Hercules, similar to the one I posted for Valkyrie in her thread. If I filled it with today's data after testing this would be the result

He does less damage than is bugged version

From what I understand, his charges aren't scaling the damage; playing him without charges and with 12 charges results in the same damage.

So far, there's been no response from Kabam regarding this bug. Especially during AQ week, when most people use him to attack.

Was this caused by the behind the curtain work you guys are doing on Herc for this month fix? Was it completely unrelated?

If I had to guess, I'd say Hercules Feats of Strenght are not going to give him armor pen anymore, but they are giving him a straight vigor/attack increase. Armor pen was removed too early and no vigor was given. Am I too far off?

It seems to be fixed, he es dealing way more damage today. 🏁

edit: normaly, I'm not the one crying für compensations, but it realy took a lot of reviews on day 1 of AM. Usualy, I finish itemless…

Using him right now and does the same damage as yesterday. Feats of Streanght still don't increase his armor penetration
