Blade Colosseum - Dark Phoenix, Thunderbolt energy placement bug

[naive meadow]

Hi, I have just noticed today that whenever I adjust line up for thunderbolt heroes and summon heroes, the thunderbolt energy and dark phoenix place is not saved correctly. For example, if I try to save thunderbolt energy, my dark phoenix gets displaced, if I try to save dark phoenix the thunderbolt energy gets displaced.

In the images added, the red circles are where both of them appear when one of them doesn’t get saved. I think the thunderbolt energy is one square to the right due to Erdanger being on the place which is set as default for both phoenix and thunderbolt energy. So in my case, when I am on second screen with Summon heroes, when I press the save button, the dark phoenix gets saved wherever it is placed, while the thunderbolt energy is saved to the red circle no matter where I put it on screen.

Dear Traveler,

To help us better verify the issue you encountered, please provide a recording of the problem. Also, please confirm whether this issue occurred in the Blade Colosseum or in another arena.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Thank you for your response.

I checked Team arena, but the issue is not there, so it is only for Blade Colosseum. I don’t have a recording, but when the Blade Colosseum opens, I can try to record it, if I get correct heroes.

Thanks for clarifying! Please try to record the issue when the Blade Colosseum opens and you have the correct heroes. That will help us investigate further.

@cerulean forge Hi Flora, here is the recording.

As you can see, the thunderbolt energy never gets saved no matter where I place it and how I save it, while the phoenix position gets saved only if the phoenix is on the screen when I click on the save button.

Dear Traveler, thanks for your cooperation. The information you provided has been submitted to the relevant team, and we believe that it will expedite the progress of issue resolution. If there are any updates, we will contact you immediately.

Dear Traveler,

Currently, the issue occurs only when adjusting both Darkflame Phoenix and Thunderbolt Energy positions at the same time, causing the first summoned unit to fail to save.
If you adjust only one summoned unit per save, it will save correctly.
We recommend saving your formation in two steps:

1. Adjust and save one summoned unit first;
2. Then adjust the other and save again.

This bug will be fixed in an upcoming update. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

@cerulean forge Hi Flora, Thank you for your advice and help. I will check it after next update, if it has been resolved.

Also I have one more question please. I would like to ask about the Dark Phoenix passive. So the passive says, that when Dark Phoenix arrives, it will knock up enemies into the air and stun them for 3s. I have noticed in both normal Arena and in Blade Colosseum that the stun happens very rarely. Obviously they are different, so then I just tried it on training dummies. You can see in the clip, that all of them resisted the stun. I have tried to 4 times and only one time one dummy was stunned, so from 12 targets only 1 got stunned. The Dark phoenix has 160 accuracy and the dummies as shown in the screen shot have 80 resistance. That’s like less than 10% probability of hitting the stun, but it’s passive doesn’t say that there is any percentage chance, so I thought it would depend on accuracy vs enemy resistance, but I don’t understand how 80 more accuracy doesn’t stun them in like 99% of time when normally for bosses or PvP the recommended accuracy is usually about 20 more units higher than the enemy resistance.

Could you please explain to me how it is supposed to work? Because now it’s passive is kind of useless and overal Dark Phoenix isn’t that strong either as it usually dies during cast of battle skills.

Dear Traveler,

The passive of the Darkflame Phoenix is functioning normally. The application of control effects works the same way as other debuffs—it's not guaranteed to succeed every time, as there is always a chance for the target to resist it.

I hope my reply can help you. If you have any other questions or suggestions afterwards, please feel free to contact us again. Have a great time.

Hi Flora,

I understand that there is chance for target to resist it. But I don’t think the chance to succeed is supposed to be so low. If I take any other hero who inflicts debuffs and I give him 160 accuracy while the target/enemy has 80 resistance, the debuff will be inflicted 99% of the time.

Just for the comparison I have tried to do this with Ripekas whose battle skill is same. You can see I gave him 0 items so he has 50 accuracy from the Inspiration buff. Even with 50 accuracy he inflicts stun on the dummies when they have 80 resistance (I ran it for 2 minutes and only once out of 10 times he didn’t manage to inflict stun). And the Dark Phoenix who has 160 accuracy can not inflict stun at all.

So if I summarize my tests which I have done for multiple runs or time:
Target Dummies: 80 Resistance
Ripekas: 50 accuracy - 39/40 targets were inflicted with stun = 97% chance to inflict stun
Dark Phoenix 160 accuracy - 2/39 targets were inflicted with stun = 5% chance to inflict stun

I apologise, but you just can’t persuade me that this works correctly based on the information of the skills and how debuffs work, because the results are extremely different for both of them when they have the same skill. Either the Dark Phoenix doesn’t have 100% chance to inflict stun and it is much much lower, but it’s description in the passive doesn’t say so. Or there is a bug in the code in calculating the chance of inflicting stun that it somehow has like 0 accuracy or something similar.
