Defensive acumen bug

[marble salmon]

Defense acumen and sometimes does not work

[green pecan]

Can I get the English translation of this please, with more detail ideally? 🙂

[marble salmon]

My opponent just played acumen then pushed wounded guardian I blocked with Kleptomaniac and he only took one damage. This happened twice out of three times with the same creature, but different blockers.

Also, when dueling a creature with king king didn’t take damage equal to the health of the opponent creature when acumen was up I believe that was the case for last update

[green pecan]

Duel is unaffected by Defensive Acumen as it is not combat damage

[green pecan]

Wounded Guardian only took 1 damage? Are you expecting it to have taken more damage?

[marble salmon]

No, the damage received when blocking only was one when it should’ve been six because defensive acumen was up

[green pecan]

I'll need to see it in-action to understand I think, sorry.

[tawdry vessel]

I was there for that too one of the cards was a diamond I think it was kleptomaniac

[green pecan]

The card frame makes no difference for battle

[tawdry vessel]

Just trying to get all the details out cause that’s what one of the devs told me to do lol

[brazen vigil]

We're there hearts actually blue, because you can have acumen of defense up, but it wont work till you have at least three creatures with a higher hp than attack

[marble salmon]

But going back to the actual bug, what happened is that blue hearts were up and the creature attacking had loophole 1/6 and I blocked with another creature, but after blocking both creatures only took one damage. It was expected for the attacking creature to take one damage, but was not expected for the blocking creature to take that one damage as well should’ve taken six.

[green pecan]

Appreciate the elaboration. There is definitely something missing here because I've re-created your scenario and this didn't happen for me.

[marble salmon]

I’ve also tried to re-create it and the bug didn’t happen. Maybe you had something to do with tavern lag when a card pack was open the same frame that acumen activated or something like that

[green pecan]

I have found one problem with Acumen but it's nothing to do with the scenario you've put forwards. That's all that seems to exist, and tavern lag certainly won't affect things in regards to combat.

[tiny birch]

You mentioned before that it being diamond is likely not related but could there have been 2 normal cards and 1 diamond? The game might have thought there were 3 and 2 and mixed the effects of both. (Showing blue health, not doing correct damage)
Just a hypotheses on my part though.

[green pecan]

The card's cosmetic frame makes no battle changes at all

[tiny birch]

I know. I’m just saying though, bugs are often times doing things that aren’t intentional.

[green pecan]

I understand, and there's definitely something unintentional happening here.
The card's cosmetic frame cannot make an affect on the battle. It's visual appearance is entirely separate from the combat system.

[tiny birch]

Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind going forwards.

[green pecan]

Hope you don't feel I've belittled you or anything. It's meant to be reassurance 😅
How the card appears is 100% on your side, the game servers don't "see" the card. The battle is a discussion between the server knowing what's happening and then it telling your side the results of it

I do agree with your logic of "suspect everything." But in this instance. I am certain the cosmetic has nothing linking to it.

[tiny birch]

We’re all good! :3
I don’t feel belittled.

[green pecan]

😌

[green pecan]

I've directly checked Defensive Acumen vs Wounded Guardian. There's got to be more to this scenario sadly.

[fresh galleon]

Do you still have the deck you used during this battle?

And do you remember the person you were playing against?

As well as what tavern you were in and what table?

[marble salmon]

Normal tavern at the table to the right of the fire

[marble salmon]

I do have it

[fresh galleon]

Could you DM me the list?

[fresh galleon]

Thank you for this information!

😁

[fresh galleon]

?

[marble salmon]

No idea I forgot

[fresh galleon]

Alright sounds good just give me the deck list if you feel okay with that and I'll get to testing it! 😀

[marble salmon]

this was the deck i used
