#Bug Report: Elastic Captain (Luffy) - Wind-up Animation Cancel Exploit

[Summary]
There is a critical exploit with the Elastic Captain (Luffy) unit that allows players to bypass the intended cooldown of the "Wind-up" skill.
[Description]
By manually canceling the "Wind-up" (charging) animation, the unit can trigger an immediate attack. This glitch ignores the remaining cooldown, enabling the unit to spam high-damage attacks much faster than the game design intends.
[Steps to Reproduce]

  1. Place the Elastic Captain unit.
  2. Activate the "Wind-up" skill to start the charging animation.
  3. Manually cancel the skill/action during the animation.
  4. The unit will instantly perform the attack, and the cooldown is either skipped or reset immediately.
    [Impact]
    This exploit severely breaks the game balance in both Story and Infinite modes, as it allows for unintended DPS (Damage Per Second) output.

how is this an exploit though?

"It’s an exploit because it allows the unit to completely bypass the intended cooldown.
By canceling the animation, I can spam the 'Wind-up' attack much faster than its designed fire rate. This significantly inflates the unit's DPS beyond what is balanced, making it possible to clear stages that are supposed to be much harder.
If this isn't fixed, it trivializes the game's difficulty and gives an unfair advantage to those using this animation cancel."

Could u provide a clip of you doing this?

oak basalt
#

ok

#

"Here is the clip as requested. You can clearly see the difference between the normal cooldown and the instant attack after the animation cancel. This bypasses the intended delay completely."

"My apologies, it seems I was mistaken. I didn't realize that the cooldown had simply decreased due to the unit's stats or upgrades. I am sorry for taking up your time with this."
