Hercules "Bug Fix" - March Patch

Do y'all remember Kabam saying they'll fix Hercules this month's patch? https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/411323/hulkling-valkyrie-updates-now-live

Oh well, don't think that was the case... video attached

They said it should be live next month. That doesn't necessarily mean his fix would launch with the update.

It's also possible they meant with the update and just forgot to do it. Just like when 7* basic was supposed to update with new champs and it didn't.

The thing is… they definitely “touched” him, but not in a positive way as you can see by playing him or watching the video… and by next month and next update, they meant March (as seen in the post attached)

I understand they meant March. Their post last month literally said "next month" which is what I was saying.

I would expect them to post an update when that goes live, but then again…it's Kabam.

They did him like Hulkling and Valkyrie…

”Increase hit damage by 1% for every 1% of Armor Penetration that exceeds the Opponent's combined Armor Rating and Resistances.”

But, Hercules’ base armor penetration is ZERO… he doesn’t normally place armor break debuffs so he cannot lower the defender’s armor rating… for all practical scenarios he will not benefit from this at all!

Hulkling and Valkyrie place powerful pierce debuffs which can easily overtake the defender’s armor rating (AND resistances).

Hercules hits like a bag full of packing peanuts now 🤦‍♂️

(Edit: this is in AQ, using CapIW synergy, “broken measures” buff, and full liquid-courage/double-edge/recoil masteries)

⬆️

This is all DESPITE the armor penetration increase from his Feats of Strength…

It doesn’t make any sense 🤷‍♂️

The kinda big which kinda qualify as a nerf atm.

Said in another thread, this is bugged - easy fix, going to be patched up shortly
