Having trouble chaining specials. As you know, the biggest problem isn't just missing out on damage, but the inevitable retaliation you experience after the special is blocked. Which, btw, is interesting as we cannot usually punish a special if we block it.. but, I digress. I experienced it in war and decided to run a test in 541. Using different champs and trying different combo enders. Here's what I have so far.. Luke cage can still successfully chain specials regardless of combo count/enders. Hela cannot chain a special with a 6 hit combo. X23 can only chain a combo on MLLLM. Out of the 5 champs I tested on that run, only LC could vary his combo count/enders. All others could not chain a special in any other combination besides MLLLM. Which is really a problem for many encounters as you don't always use MLLLM for every fight or every opponent. Think about fighting evade champs such as Ultron, bw, Spiderman, nc, etc. Think about using awakened voodoo.. This seems to just have started today..Happening to anyone else?

On the third and final special, I actually saw my attack make contact, the opponent ignores it as of in an invincible frame, then throws up a block, then the word parry pops up on the screen. In that order. I am finally knocked out from this third and final retaliation after getting my special blocked. So, this is actually effecting the score of my entire aliance in our first war of the season. Unreal.
So, in a sense, I have adapted to this new dynamic by changing my play style. However, the boss fight was real close and had I been able to land specials it would have been over faster and the full attack bonus would not have been at risk. It could have easily gone the other way. This is clearly an unfair disadvantage in an on-season war fight and we need someone to fix the issue. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
And no kabaam seeing as you don’t care I’m not giving you my info
No, no..
Search the forum. There are about 30 champs listed to take on UC Adaptoid and Red Skull.
One of them is Ronan. He definitely isn’t a moneygrab.
But specials are getting blocked far more often, especially after combo 5. Combo 4 however and then chaining the special hasn’t failed me yet. Hate having to keep it in mind though, since it’s definitely not all champs that suffer this.
it's the main reason why I had difficulty in quests (idk about arenas haven't done one this month due to lack of time)
yeah @Darkstar4387 , the controls don't work at right moment
