I am not sure if this is a bug or not.
Just raided vs Magni.
I hit him with Tibertus special Ramming pulverizer:
) Deals 295% damage to the target and minor damage to nearby tagets
)The target and nearby enemies get -34% defense for 6 turns.
Magni was in centre spot and almost full mana.
I fired tibertus and the next action is Magni doing his special.
What I noticed is that the defence lowering was dispelled and replaced with Magni’s +63% defence for 4 turns. (as well for the 2 next to him).
Opponent had Rigard in his team but I am 100% sure he did not fire his special.
Others in his team Li Xiu, Khagan and Caedmon.
So is it as intended that the -34% get ‘overwritten’ by the +64%? Or is this really a bug?
Yes it’s intended, you can dispell a minus defense debuff by applying a defense buff and vice versa. Thats aint a bug. Same thing for attack, mana generation…
When any ramming pulverizer throws the defense debuff, it can be immediately over-written by Kiril’s defense buff. Or, Wilbur can strip Magni of his defense buff and further debuff him.
Yes. It can be quite useful strategy to bring along a buffer who specifically counters a particular opponent’s special, instead of a generic cleanser like Rigard.
I know elemental buffs and debuffs work the same way - as long as it’s the same color. I haven’t tried different color debuffs, but I assume they stack instead of countering each other.
Yes, exact buffs counter debuffs. So if you have Falcon vs Morgan, Falcon’s special applies a debuff to fire. Morgan casts and flips that to a buff against fire. But if Morgan also has Gormek’s generic defense debuff, her buff doesn’t flip that.
