Bug: Black Knight + Aegir [Not a Bug -- see linked topic]

[Fluxus]

When Black Knight and Aegir both have their specials activated, BK can mitigate damage to 1; however, Aegir then spreads out what I assume is the unmitigated damage to the surviving heroes.

What should happen: Black Knight receives 1 damage, all other heroes receive 0 (or 1).

What actually happens: Black Knight receives 1 damage, all other heroes receive 50 (or whatever that number would be if they were hit without Black Knight active.

This has already been reported and addressed by staff to not be a bug:

Black Knight with shared damage bug (Wilbur, Aegir) [NOT A BUG - Working as Intended]

thanks everyone, I passed this information along to our QA team and have confirmed this is working as intended.

Here’s my explanation of what the game is doing logically when checking damage share + Just a Flesh Wound buffs stacking together:

@DaveCozy

when it comes to buffs and ailments – the order of how they activate is not determined by the order of skills.

That only matters for status effects that are overwritten – e.g. an attack buff with another attack buff.

For status effects that stack, they follow an order of operations. For e.g. Damage over Turns, always activates before Healing over Turns. Regardless of which status was casted first.

We can conclude here from @KiraSG’s reply that Black Knight’s Just a Flesh Wound buff is meant to activate last always.

Thus, this isn’t a bug. These are the logical steps that the game checks damage in for this case:

1. BK is targeted with Taunt + Just a Flesh Wound + Shared Damage
2. Damage is dealt to him, then shared among allies
3. Just a Flesh Wound activates, and drops damage for Black Knight to 1

Closing this as it’s a duplicate of the above ticket.
