Desperate Drill V Clear using Vepley's "Feature"

[young karma]

Hi all
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl-v8Kbrms8

Basically, this is a bug (read as feature)

For those who do not want to watch the video, I basically use Vepley's ultimate to detect where the boss hide in the smoke screen. It seems to only work with Vepley's Ultimate. I tried to Groza skills & ultimate, I tried with Sabrina's skills and Ultimate, I tried with Peritya's skills and Ultimate, I tried with Vepley's other skills. All did not work. Only works for her ultimate.

Hope this can help those who have trouble clearing it, to detect where the boss is hiding and hopefully get more hits.

Desperate Drill V Clear using Vepley's "Feature"

Erm

[young karma]

iit is my first time writing something like this, so do let me know if u have any comments. if i do write another one, i'll try to imrpove

[hasty sedge]

The game says aoe damage will reveal her but apparently only vepley properly revealed her so yeah

[scarlet escarp]

I've done it with Lotta and groza fine

[calm cape]

Prolly bug or u miss her position completely

Suomi ult doesn't reveal either and also doesn't instakill clone

But only suomi the rest works fine

[jagged urchin]

Vepley, Groza, and Lotta all work fine. The only one that doesnt work so far for me is Suomi's, but you can still use Suomi's and watch for the damage numbers to pop up if you hit her and then use one of the others to reveal her

[calm cape]

Theres a sound indicator if shes inside the blast range

Even if theres no visual indicator of it

But if her phase is exploited it'll still show "exploited" like usual

Even if u can't see her

[hasty sedge]

oh

man thast crazy

[steady plinth]

Sabrina works as well, but only with S3 if there are no enemies near her since S2 is enemy targeted (unless you have the key that lets you ground target)

[young karma]

Those aoe that hit her will reveal

But somehow vepley can detect, so can use other aoe to target the area while vepley to scan for the area

At this point, i do believe it is a bug

[young karma]

Oh thats coz suomi doesnt do aoe damage. Soumi attaxk cause frost to happen on panels

Its the frost that damage them

I tested this and read her description when i tried to use her with peritya’s passive. It didnt trigger. That’s when i know, soumi doesnt cause aoe damage. Its the frost that damage, her ult description doesnt state aoe

[hasty sedge]

ah ic.

[steady plinth]

By detect do you mean that a sound plays when the doll is within the area of the attack? Wasn't so sure based on your vid. I couldn't see a red line like mentioned in your vid, but what I do with other AOEs like Groza's is to click around until I hear the beep then try and triangulate it with different areas. It works better with smaller AOEs since it makes it easier to triangulate, but I get the beep with Groza and Lotta.

[edgy warren]

on the normal level groza's aoe did reveal her

could it be a bug for the drill version?

[hasty sedge]

hm.

maybe its just because i used suomi and vepley for my aoes

[steady plinth]

Yeah Suomi ult isn't counted as an AOE

[orchid sky]

If you are lucky in positioning, any AOE will reveal creepy doll. You gotta hit her though.

[young karma]

Ah let me screen cap

It shows where she is, even before aoe reveal where she is

So its even before you use any aoe to reveal her, it shows where she is.

[odd parrot]

I'm trying it rn and not geting the effect you're talking about. Using Vepley too.
I've got Suomi and Qiongjiu for Action Support but neither of them show the red line when I use Vepley to scout around

[modern slate]

fyi if a hidden enemy has any visual debuff (i.e. overburn), any change in camera angle will reveal its position (i.e. flames floating midair somewhere in the map)

[wheat panther]

I'm pretty sure this works with any aoe as long as Peritya is in range to support fire, as seen in your screenshots

Nothing to do with Vepley

[young karma]

oh maybe huh
