This has been addressed in other posts, but the moderator asked that each item be listed separately so:
Device and Version: iPhone 7s
Device Operating System: iOS (fully updated)
Mobile Carrier: Verizon
Cellular or WiFi: definitely WiFi. have not tried on cellular.
Game Version Installed: latest update
Game Mode: all modes
Champions Affected: Magneto Marvel Now
Active Boosts: none
Description of the Issue:
When you reach 10 persistent charges, regular attack Prowess does not proc.
You can still get the Heavy Prowess charges.
If I keep him at 8 persistent charges, he gets Prowess charges with regular attacks, but then I have the broken Pre-fight ability on and can't parry.

And to OP, if this has been addressed in other posts, can you please provide a link? My search function is not working.
Every mode (used for AQ, arena, Act 6, incursions)
My guess is, the progression got reversed when they coded him.
He procs Prowess really fast at low charges, but rarely at 8-10 charges.
Video from Seatin where he noticed the bug (live server, not beta footage).

Min 3:35-4:26 against Voodoo (non-metal), min 5:41-6:27 against wolverine x-23 (metal).
Still happening to me, tested today again (ipad pro, IOS updated), never ever got any prowess from basic attacks other than heavies when at 10 persistent charges since the buff was released in the last update.
Get him to 10 charges, no prowess from regular attacks .
Burn him down to 4 charges, lots of prowess.
It really looks like a reversed progression and should be an easy fix
With Magneto at 10 persistent charges, I still got 0 prowess from medium/light hits for the entire quest. To ensure it I didn't do any heavies, and prowess counter *never* moved up beyond the permanent 1 he got from the synergy with Apoc. For the entire lane.
Even against scarlet witch boss, which is a fairly long fight given the crit resistance node. Good thing was, because Magneto was failing to proc any prowess, the pilfer node wasn't really doing anything...
To be clear, this was a test with Apoc synergy. Without it the situation is the same - I'd expect the synergy to help build up prowess, but nothing changed: prowess proc chance by regular hits at 10 persistent charges seemed to be still 0 regardless of the synergy.
This is clearly broken, I hope that all these bugs with Magneto HoX get acknowledged/fixed soon, given he is being offered in cavs and his arena is running.
1- I depleted Magneto's persistent charges completely by spending them all in the first 3 fights. At 0 persistent charges he did not proc prowess in regular hits (as expected & described in his abilities)
2 - Ramped him up in the quest. Prowess seemed to slowly trigger more regularly as he went from 2 to 8/9.
3 - At 10 charges, no surprise, he stopped triggering prowess on regular hits (not heavy's furies) altogether <- This is the bug we are reporting.
So, all in all, if you use Magneto HoX because you happen to like him, he will suffer from this Diablo syndrome of a bug where fully ramped up in a quest, he becomes worse and essentially performs the same as fully depleted with zero charges.
On the other hand, if you start dropping his persistent charges to avoid this bug, then you suffer from his bugged pre-fight ability, where parries are completely unreliable for him or his hero/metal team mates.
Then you have the other bugs he has... I really don't know how all of this can be missed by QA.
Conclusion: don't use him or rank him until all of this gets fixed. Which is sad, considering he was just buffed.
I agree with Mord, it is definitely a 10 persistent charge issue.
Prowess generates great for every other persistent charge level.
At 10, nothing with regular attacks.
The Heavy Prowess still works fine at all times.
Apparently there is also a problem with the SP3 Cruelty.
It is supposed to pause the Prowess timers and it is not.
Thank you!!!!!
