Been using Elektra in gaunlnet came across a problem with her shadow step, she still takes match damage with the trap tiles on the board. I took screen shots to help illustrate the problem.



This image shows I have more than one trap on the board, right in middle in between the team up tiles. It gets removed but I still take damage. Still have one more trap on the board.

That last trap tile is destroyed but I still take damage.

    Is it only happening when the opponent has strike tiles out? I am wondering if it could be related to a similar issue I'm having with Spider-Woman: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59461

    So I ran another test against icon_captainamerica.pngicon_doctordoom.pngicon_ms_marvel.png

    Took no damage from Doom attack tiles, none from match damage. But did from strike tiles. I used double cross, which puts out enemy strike tiles that has strength of 19. Low and behold when I had shadow step on the board the next enemy match I would take 19 damage. Whatever number the strike strength tile is, that would be the damage I am still taking while using shadow step. It might be what you are experiencing too.

    Has anyone noticed that Elektra is taking damage while Shadow Step trap tiles are on the board. I was under the impression that she was not supposed to take any damage
    while these trap tiles were out.

    I just saw it too.

    This is like a repeat of the Prof. X broken DDQ from a few months ago, although I still beat this one with Shadow Step down.

    Happening to me too. I haven't been able to test if it's negating the damage from the match but the added damage from the strike tiles is still hitting, or if all damage is just going through like it doesn't exist at all.

    Edit: Looks like it IS negating the standard damage, but anything added by strike tiles is still applied after the initial damage. So, if there are no strike tiles on the board, you take no damage as it should be. If there are, it negates the initial damage and then whatever the strike tiles would add gets applied as regular damage.

    Try using the search function because I already beat you to it viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59775

    It's amazing how so few people bother to pay any attention to my posts

    Shadow Step has looked for some time like it's healing Elektra, and I think that's what's happening. The way it "negates" damage is to take, then instantly heal, damage. Unfortunately, if she's close to death, she takes the fatal damage, then dies before the healing occurs. At least, that's what it looks like to me.
    On the other hand, I saw a post about Spider Woman's damage reduction ignoring the damage of strike tiles, so that the rest of the damage is dodged as intended, but the full strike damage goes through. If that's true, then strikes themselves may be bugged and ignoring damage-reducing powers. Probably related to Spider-Man BiB not reducing strike damage.

    EDIT:

    It's not about paying attention. It's about people not using Elektra. If it weren't for today's Clash, your post would have continued to be ignored most likely.

    Funny it takes her Clash before everyone realizes she's broken, since that's the only time most players bother to use her (me included). Prime candidate for next season's character rework.

    +1 this conversation. I normally do the clash with Elektra at 111. Today I had to level her to 150 because of this bug. I'd like my iso back please.

    Same problem here; once Blade generated strike tiles, Shadow Step wasn't blocking the incoming damage....

    Well it blocks everything except the Strike tile damage. Which is obviously a bug but not as bad as it could be.

    Hey Everyone. I just took a look in the database, and there is an active bug report open for this issue. This issue also occurs and will be addressed for Spider-Woman's Seeking Redemption and Colossus' Immovable Object

    With this being bugged, I probably can't finish her Crash of the Titans.
