THEOBALD Buff .. Not Dispelling

[JFL]

I just knew he’d die with my 3-stack green … before he could fire his Special … oops I was wrong

So … I knowingly Sacrificed Evelyn … again knowing that 3 Enemy would be Debuffed … oops I was wrong

WTH … according to description of both Theobald & Evelyn … it should have worked

[Radar1]

Green heroes can’t dispell green elemntal reflect, works the same with orher colors.

Not a bug.

[JFL]

I stand by my earlier statement … according to descriptions, it seems like a bug.

1. I will accept your statement … unless & until experimentation proves otherwise … even though I’ve never before heard of it

2. Logically … it makes no sense … a Dispel is neither damage nor Status Effect … so the Elemental Reflect should not factor in

3. If that is truly the case … then that statement should be included in the description … something like … Dispel all dispellable Buffs EXCEPT Reflect of same Element

I’m just saying

Here similar topics for you to read

Phileas Fogg doesn't dispell nature reflect first

In this video, you can see Fogg hitting Liz, who has a nature reflect defensive buff. Fogg dispells before hitting, and so should have dispelled the nature reflect before doing dmg. However, he kills himself on the reflect. To my knowledge, reflect is treated as a defensive buff now (see: Mitsuko vs Cobalt) and should be dispelled. [no dispell first?]

Snow white doesn't remove reflect buff

Using Snow white against a team with Aegir and mitsuko, both had fired and I held snow white back to fire at this moment, she disappeared in a cloud of smoke and didn’t remove any buffs or status ailments, if she doesn’t remove these buffs can her card be reworded so as not to give great heartbreak to a guy who thought he had a game changer

Another found bug

If C. Melendor dispells all buffs…why is it that his special didn’t work while Theobald’s nature buff was up. Melendor’s dispell is NOT a status ailment…comon S.G…you’re killing my heroes lol…literally…my heroes died [Screenshot_20211010-192945_Empires]

Logically … it makes no sense … a Dispel is neither damage nor Status Effect … so the Elemental Reflect should not factor in

The reflect doesn’t factor here, your heroes won’t get dispelled if you use a dispeller. Important is the second part… blocks other negative effects…

I will quote myself from another thread:

@ferg

[defense down, atk down…] are negative status effects, so they don’t get blocked, they get reflected. If you use a defense down against reflect you will end with the defense down on your own hero.
Dispel is no STATUS effect, so it doesn’t get reflected, but it has a negative effect for the target so it gets blocked.

@ferg

When it’s not a negative effect for the opponent, why do you want to use dispel at all?

Right it gives you an advantage over an opponent → so it it’s a disadvantage for the opponent → therefore it has a negative effect for the opponent → it gets blocked

[StillVictor]

Before Theobald, this is how it worked with Costumed Vivica - she can’t dispel when Ursena’s reflect is active - and with Sonya - same thing against Mitsuko.

This is expected behavior and not a bug. Unless at some point SG decides it should be different.

[JFL]

I understand that logic & don’t disagree

However … somewhere in-game there should be language about how these things work … historically & preferably it would be on the character cards
