I just tried it and the OP is correct. At least about what happens now. I don’t have a recording of how it happened before, but I feel like they are correct. When you overwrote the buff, it didn’t do damage. Not 100% sure, but that’s what I recall and I use the pigs a lot.
And yes, he is ultimate now, before V39 I carefully wait buff until dissapear, but after V39 no need to wait, as boosted HP is needed anytime until 200% HP.
I noticed this too. I though maybe I just hadn’t noticed before. It also fires the special when removed now too, like in War Equalizer. I found out the hard way when using a Seashat on him with a few of my heroes low health, they died.
the dispel causing damage is not new. i also had to learn that the hard way.
the damage being proc’ed if Gulli heals again before three turns have passed is new for sure. it happened right when there was a 4* tournament without purple, so it was either the best timing or the worst timing.
i’m 100% sure this is not how it worked before haha. dispels and the like proc’ed the damage, yes, but Gullinbursti resetting the buff himself by firing again would reset the damage counter without dealing the damage.
Co-sign. And it didn’t used to proc when he died, either, I don’t think.
I wonder if it has something to do with the new “order of operations” thing they introduced, where various status effects are shown, and proc, in the order they were received? (Or was that just a visual thing, and they always proc’d that way?)
The best counter to gulli is like mist, malosi or maybe costume Sabina… Someone that blocks stats affects so he never gets the attack up or damage to you for him and allies being attacked.
Yeah it definitely didn’t fire when it got refreshed in the past. I did also run into the Hatter interaction. Stole the buff and it went off and killed my hatter and then went off the next turn when it expired from my team.
