Has anyone else noticed that 3* Dr. Strange's yellow is not firing when the Sniper goons fire Deadly Shot? I noticed this during the Unstable Iso-8 event yesterday. I guess I need to submit a ticket on it. Just wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue and didn't see anything on it here yet.

    Hey blood6338. This was actually a widely discussed topic in the past. Deadly Shot is actually considered a Passive ability, which is why 3* Doctor Strange's yellow ability, Flames of the Faltine, does not trigger when the Deadly Shot countdown tile appears on board. This is the same with Star-Lord's ability, Everyone With Me.

    Hope that helps!

    On that note: shouldn't the power description for the sniper be updated to state that the power is a passive? Wouldn't be too hard to change a text now would it? Pokemon Go is pushing out one 'minor text fix' after another, and if they can do it.... icon_mrgreen.gif

    And while I'm on the topic of power descriptions... There are certain goon powers that don't display any numbers on their power descirptions. Notable example: the Lieutenant's yellow heal power. Any chance they will ever display their proper numbers?

    Pretty sure that power is already described as passive?

    Yeap. It sure is. And even if others have doubts they can even check the AP cost, which is zero. And another factor for this specific one is that it always pops back up as soon as you match it away

    Thanks for the update Brigby. I hadn't considered that it was a passive. It sucks when it goes off though. icon_e_smile.gif

    Is it? I think it didn't use to be. Good they fixed it then. (I haven't been paying much attention to the descriptions lately, to be honest).

    Not a problem! I absolutely agree. That Deadly Shot hurts when it goes off, which is why I always target the Sniper whenever I can to avoid that from happening icon_razz.gif

    Yes, you're right. It used to not describe the ability as a Passive. This was added in after this specific confusion involving the ability interactions of Flames of the Faltine and Everyone With Me arose.
