**** just happened?

In the beginning of playing a match my 85 AWolv/54 CStorm/default GSBW vs default GSBW/73 Cstorm/62 AWolv

Just used a crit tile on green for 600 damage against CStorm. Crit tile created by linking 3 purple and 5 enviro. (So crit made and then second swipe matches green (not cascaded)). AI storm hits me with 6! Raging tempests. Am I missing something here?

Posting from phone so can't show pics of after math. No powers used by me. 2nd move of game

    Are you sure 3 of those weren't yours? Would a raging tempest by itself be 20% of default GSBW's life?

    Edit: At max level C. Storm, it looks like she does 25% of GSBW's life. Not sure what the numbers look like for lvl 73 or 54.
  • Honestly I've no clue. It just suddenly got really windy icon_e_smile.gif I scraped together a win despite being below 50% on my team (and GSBW dead) but I couldn't figure out why her yellow kept triggering. It doesn't help that I suck the tiny kitty at math

    Yeah, this has happened to me where my C. Storm traded Raging Tempests with my opponent C. Storm until one team eventually died.
  • My guess is that your crit tile triggered Raging Tempest, and then their Raging Tempest triggered Raging Tempest on your Storm + GSBW, and then the retaliation Raging Tempest triggered more Raging Tempests. This process can go on indefinitely until one of the Storm is dead, which is probably what happened.
  • So basically the defecation hit the oscillation

    This is exactly what just happened to me! LOL. I guess more teams with Storm instead of OBW, we are going to start seeing more of this.
  • I'm convinced they came out with Botched Healing because I finally got OBW up to 85

    tempest bounce is fun and amazing thing the first time you see it.

    It' used to be even more fun, since it ALWAYS set it off, before they nerfed damage. ANd then red powers were fueled, triggering it again when cast

    It's a great phenomenon to watch, but be careful if the opposing team's HP drops below 50%...
