Ranged Units Target Incorrect Boss in Alliance Battle

[stable patio]

Description:
When positioning ranged units to attack the center alliance boss, they will instead only use their basic attacks on the right-side boss. This behavior causes incorrect total damage per run, as the units are not attacking the intended boss that is weak to their damage type.

Details:
I’ve attached a screen recording showing my Rally team, which is meant to target the Necrosis boss in the center. In this run, only Thelendor correctly attacks the Necrosis boss, while the other ranged units default to attacking the right-side boss. While ultimate abilities still function as AoE and can hit multiple bosses, the incorrect basic attack targeting results in a noticeable drop in total damage output.

Impact:

Reduced total damage per run.

Elemental advantage is wasted, lowering performance in Alliance Battles.

Request:
Please investigate and fix this targeting issue so ranged units consistently attack the selected boss with both basic and ultimate abilities.

The videos were taken between 2AM CST in the U.S and 2:30 AM CST.

Did you check the attacklines while placing them? They should go to the closest target and in row 3 its not the centerboss 🙁

I have the same issue thats why i dont use rally here,

The three bosses should be all in the same row and the attackplacement for our heroes should allow for a placement where we can focus the needed Boss

Please fix.

See short video attached:

Purple line is primary attack target

I don’t use Rally anywhere apart from the Pillars now, it’s gutting how hard the Devs neutered them 🤬

Hi Traveler,
Thank you for your patience. I understand your feelings.
Please don't worry, I will do my best to assist you.
Regarding your feedback, Philto deals relatively high damage, but his attack range is limited and he cannot cast skills diagonally.
We recommend checking the description of Philto’s Ultimate Skill range.

The issue is not limited to Philto—it affects any ranged unit placed in the middle or back squares of the center lane directly in front of the necrosis boss. In these cases, only the melee attacker will target the boss. My videos demonstrate this with both a Rally team and a Frost team. Regardless of placement, rear ranged units do not use their basic attacks on the center boss as intended.

I agree. Aside from Fey, goblin and story missions they’re not very useful anymore. It’s sad.

I did check the attack lines that’s why I’m bringing it up. Since it essentially means that you would be losing out on extra damage if you don’t have a strong team for one of the other two sides. But it’s an overall issue with the center boss not being targetable by the back line.

[oak kettle]

Yes! I was supporting your case, sorry if that wasnt clear. I have the same issue as a player 🙂

Tbh I’m using Summoners in all the dungeons nearly, where I used to used Rally, @tranquil sage I know how Philto works, and this season I added Huberg to the team with Lorentheel, Garius and Donella, a team that should breeze past most oppositions, but sadly not, they have been cut to the bone in their damage potential now, and it’s just wrong how it’s been done.

Sorry, but it is……

No worries, I was just confirming so the devs can look at this and hopefully add it to their to do list.

I’m a spender so I have a large pool to choose from. I’m mostly running my Frost team for most things or my Wild team for speed runs. But I use a summoner team on my F2P account.

Different topic though, maybe make a #1144580078408302703

[dry radish]

Not really a different subject @oak kettle I was discussing how bad Rally are now and that I am having to use Summoners in places that Rally would have been my goto previously……until they were nerfed

[dry radish]

Ditto

[oak kettle]

Our topic isnt how bad rally is but how bad placement is on the map for those bosses

For all RANGED units
