I took in today for the first time Harpoons in the Trials as I didn’t feel I was strong enough without them.
Harpoons do damage to a single hero/boss but the problem is it doesn’t hit the targeted hero/boss
Tapping the boss you want the harpoon to hit and out of 4 harpoons used only one hit the mark, the others choose at random.
Is this a bug, oversight in harpoons being used as battle items or other.
When I saw this during my game play, I figured I hadn’t selected a target (user error on me - now, I’m thinking not) - I agree, I’ve noted the same…last trial, I think…don’t typically take harpoons to trials, but will watch for it again.
I just tested this on the trials, 5 out of 5 harpoons hit my intended target (I chose different targets though).
Did you select your target before or after tapping the harpoon? If you select the hero you want to target with special skills and then “double tap” the harpoon (one tap on the item and the next tap on the tooltip just like bombs or dragon attacks for quick use) then it selects the target randomly. If you tap the harpoon then tap a target then it will hit the hero you select, the harpoon targeting works independently from the target set for special attacks. Also every use of the harpoon needs it’s separate targeting. That’s how I managed to hit 5/5. It could be still a bug though and I just got lucky or you selected the target incorrectly for the harpoon.
I think you’re getting things a bit confused, but I definitely see where you’re coming from especially since harpoons work differently from other battle items.
The target reticle is different for hero specials and does not affect the battle item’s target.
The first image shows the target reticle for hero specials.
The third image shows the same thing as normal battle items, however, unlike the second image where you can press any of the enemies and hit all enemies, the enemy you press will be the only one attacked. This is shown in the 4th image where I intentionally aimed for the far right target.
