This is the most sane comment we have so far.

Everyone knows that a healthy competitive game requires balance. Nerfs and buffs are both healthy for any pvp game.

To release a unit to ā€œcounterā€ something that should be reviewed carefully and/or nerfed shouldn’t be the way to deal with it.

We’re just dipping into the business of ā€œcreate a problem, sell the solution.ā€ This only goes so far before it gets wayyyyyy out of hand that there’s just no turning back.

rengo a problem -> release ninfo/batsby, bruiser a problem -> release plume, plume a problem -> release aya, amber a problem -> release raymerry

Nerf BB dmg output and most of this will be fixed - my thoughts šŸ¤”

#

If nerfs were gonna be handed to anything/brusier specific, Holden would have had his buffs reverted.

They are showing a trend of not wanting to nerf SSRs besides the launch nerfs (game just launched so not technically a nerf so whatever happened in that patch is considered Vanilla?)

Sometimes I see it on an Obol and I'm like alright sir, calm the fuck down

#

literally even 10% nerf to bb and we go into full speed contest

Dmg output mitigation on bb just solves the imbalance. (I know it's been said) Maybe SOME people will get the hint

#

I also had another match where my tia + lily double tapped enemy holden when he had artisan + fuq shield he just vanished

#

the reason why t2 is too dominant now is because there are too many ways to cut in and bruisers just 100 to 0 like no thing

#

but for some reason a lot of these cleave players make it seems like bruiser just sit there and soak all the dmg

torpid aurora
maiden forge
# torpid aurora This is a bit too dismissive. The idea is that each unit could deal similar dmg ...

How would this make everyone deal similar damage. If you reduce damage output, cleaves still die because they’re inherently squishy. You can straight-up jackal them to death on crit builds.

All it would do would make the bruiser mirror take forever again. A lot of bruiser mirror fights have been faster because people are building their units on dps builds. Cd tiamats and holdens and rahus, kokardi on counts, xiada on cd build etc.

if you wanna nerf damage, reduce top end damage, and increase average dps. Like tiamat % additional from max hp is significantly lowered, but her 30-70% hp threshold isn’t as far apart etc.

tranquil sparrow

# tranquil sparrow Then lower jackel’s damage too.

all shells and damage in general is zooted to the mf moon. I’d rather them not mess (and eventually screw up) all the damage in the game.

I’d prefer them add in more molong and icares and sonia type characters for more strategic snipe cleaves

skills for non-sw players:

Molong s3:

Launches a reckless attack that damages the enemy by 70% of its HP at the cost of receiving the same amount of damage. The damage can't exceed your current HP

Icares s3:

Steals life from the enemy. The amount stolen is equivalent to 50% of your MAX HP. You gain another turn if the enemy dies.

Sonia s2:

Attacks the enemy quickly and strongly. Ignores the enemy's Defense if the target's Defense is 60% or less than your Attack Power.
Her passive: basically evasion if she’s higher spd than you etc.

jack told me last week that the team is working on balancing, but ofc it's difficult and taking time.
with these new units I'm not really sure what to do but I gotta see what really happens here

#

this stuff was developed and planned a long time ago

#

so if it really makes t2 just impossible to defeat... idk

#

need to talk with team and communicate where we go from here with balancing

toxic lagoon
#

If there were nerfs, there would be Masisah nerfs, tiamat nerfs, rahu nerfs, amber nerfs, bb nerfs reaper nerfs and even a base damage nerf from 150% cdmg. Im willing to bet less people will accept massiah nerfs over tiamat nerfs.

#

Can base damage be nerfed so that stuff like amber massiah would do 0 damage? and require damage sets to do damage and buff damage sets. Its a major issue in why damage is so high and u need bloodbath to survive anything.

Im still not sure why people are complaining about mess damage. Like sure its good, but if your bruisers and healers are well built, even a capped mess isnt gonna one shot them (even a def scaling SR) with atk buff and freya debuff. I posted a picture somewhere as well.

I feel like most people complaining are those with like p2 p3 poorly built bruisers going against the few well built p5 mess there are. Moreover, its much easier to p5 bruiser (the current roster all rgb) than it is to p5 mess.

Ofc i wouldnt deny that he dishes out good damage, which he is meant to do as a pure dps, but he can be tanked.

Im still down for a dmg nerf on mess, tiamat, rahu if bb gets nerfed tho. Cause at the moment none of the other cleave units actually do good damage. Then again, hopefully things change with a wider roster of units, which is likely to happen.

I just wish we cant just slap bb on every unit and make them work cause thatll mean itll be easy to just keep stealing units from people playing t1.

I also understand perhaps from devs point of view, having more bruisers in play means more entertaining and longer matches, which is definitely true to some extent. But from the recent tournament that happened, it just got stale after watching the same first picks (fuqiu) and enemy first picks (tiamat, holden) every single time. Like no one was willing to take more risk (other than like 3 ppl) and try to play cc or something else. I know enhancing bruiser gameplay is good for KR JP CN who started late and probably find it more difficult to farm speed. But it would also put those who invested a lot of time into dokidoki feel like crap. So yea its gonna be tough to find a balance.

No offense but your alleged experience with p5 Mass goes against pretty much everyone else's whom I've ever seen and so nobody believes you

Well i gave my mess stats, and his damage again rin so its up to u to believe it or not

I even showed u his count's passivesšŸ˜‚

Could u show a picture from touney pls. And we also dont know their stats no?

#

there is a reason why most of T2 players on top ladder are banning massiah

visual oak
#

Ok i saw the video the only reason he dished out that much dmg in that one match is cause of the def break, cc and sword 7. I would say a lot of luck involved there since if nahor had not cut lilith from the plume he wouldve lost that straight away.
So yea its a lot of luck, after all that aya push did bring lilith to 100% for sure, but with plume nahor somehow cut past a unit at max. Im quite sure bread himself locked aya in 3rd slot because he believed that after plume s3 aya would just let the whole team move. He was unlucky there

It was like one match where he wiped the floor

They are banning mess cause he is one thing that makes cleave and cleave cc work. Banning him already makes the person playing cleave and cc at a very huge disadvantage, so when they know who they are playing against they would obviously ban mess if needed.

cold apex
visual oak
#

There were many conditions for him to do that much damage and he got lucky all the conditions ticked.

U were literally agreeing with me when i posted a picture, and all it took was the one match from a tournament to immediately disagree, which is kind of weird.

Almost any other unit (bruiser or cleave) would have done insane damage with the exact same conditions

cold apex

#

SurešŸ‘, whatever makes you happy

I never said he does no damage btw.

dark harness
#

who is saying massiah does no damage

cold apex

#

I said sure its good LOL

Hard to misunderstand

dark harness
#

p1 massiah. sword 7 not procced because no CC full hp bruiser team.
If beyo wasnt cut by aya that would have been GG

visual oak
#

Why did they let beyo through, genuinely curious, and why no draft red rin or chiaki on lighthouse those are very good counters

If i c messiah on 3 rd slot i would draft red rin and/or chiaki in 4/5 slot

I mean they work against p5 mess with 395 crit dmg and 3.5k atk lol. Do u need proof?

summer geyser
#

if u think red chiaki and red rin is the absolute counter idk against who ur playing but
u just bring 1 cc or 1 antiheal and it's over

dark harness
#

Freya was banned on the massiah team because its game 5 where we already saw his freya was a problem with plume for turn meter push. Youd never cut the beyo

Like milo said if you think there are hard counters to massiah you are just naive

visual oak
#

Hmm. Idk we gonna have to agree to disagree then

Cause mess wasnt gonna kill them with one ult even with freya debuff, shlda banned the beyo anyways

I mean ive posted a picture of my mess not killing anything lol. If u want his stats i can show

dark harness
#

its a p1 massiah with basically no shell. if it was p5 count they would have been oneshot. My p5 bruiser line up barely survives the massiahs in high RTA

rapid basin

show shotty your rin pic, brok

visual oak

Lemme find

Lilith was on lighthouse as well, wouldve been tough to s2 her then s3

I couldve brought in nahor/mio instead of r cachi but i dont have lattice either.

Well the main point her is the dmg

dark harness
#

you should win that from that spot

If you freya S2-ed to prevent the taunt and stun. Tsuki S3 into massiah into cachi s3

also you had freya, tsuki massiah just pick 2 CCs and his teams dead

visual oak
#

Na i lost they cut and healed and shielded

My cachi was alr at 100% i got cut by both rin and chiaki

The chiaki healed them to almost max

I couldnt cc cause cachi got cut when he at 100

30% atk bar push doesnt rly need u to be super fast btw

maiden forge
#

Nahor would never be cut.
Nahor the godking of cc
Also, they dbl anti-massiahed you tbf. Seems like they had fast rin/chiaki to cut.

dark harness
#

If you had freya celince instead of freya rcachi it would have been a different story as well

visual oak
#

I have 25 SSRšŸ˜‚, celince aint one of them as much as i would like her

And yea i would love to pivot to cc but no lattice too, been trying

I mean i did use cachi bro, i think abt 315 speed too

summer geyser
#

most of cc units are f2p and SR's

maiden forge
#

Yea but this doesn’t really disprove his damage isn’t absurd. They probably have triple damage reduction (reduc in shell on red) to not die. and they dbl countered you.
I see no problems

it’s like me showing tiamat damage isnt bad because she’s not critting on mizukis or whatever.

visual oak
#

His damage is good, but he can be countered

And yes well played by them

I also think we shld have more SR to counter bruisers as well, given how strong SRs are in countering cleave and soon cc

Na im just saying cleave needs more options, aside from mess, the rest arent good at doing dmg. So once you ban him, it becomes hard for a cleave or cc team to counter bruisers

dark harness
#

respectfully. with that logic. Everything can be countered. So why complain about CC, bloodbath, tiamat, etc if it can all be countered

#

Its tough cause tsutomo actually needs other units by his side to work, like a def breaker, cc etc. So he does require set up. On the other hand, rin and chiaki can go with any healer and bruiser and work

red chiaki is the solution to mass dw

I mean tbf… cleave feels like it has ā€œfigured itself outā€ and defines itself by killing things t1.

Idk what pvp gacha folks have been playing where rta cleaves are entirely just t1 outspeed and win situations.

But lots of things i, as a sw player, would classify as cleave people dont consider.

Also bruisers are more likely to experiment and use a wider range of modules, so builds will vary from account to account giving a higher influx of shared builds.

also cleavers generally are less likely to share builds because theyre more susceptible to getting spd checked.

it dont make a difference if you know my tiamat is strive or bramble or whatever, but if people know your freya 320 you’re boned

# vivid yacht Im Loosing the point….. end of the day bruiser is dominant and its not balanced ...

Bb is fine. rev is also reasonable in it’s current state.

Ngl, bb isn’t unkillable. In bruiser mirror, people play it more aggressively and you can easily still get blown up.

I feel like people are misdiagnosing the problem. Bb isnt a problem, damage is a problem. Bb is a necessary evil to said overwhelming damage problem. a 60k + hp tiamat off of bloodbath gets blown to the wind, but a 45k bb tiamat can hang around and actually participate in the match.

They would need a full overhaul on damage values before touching bb imo.

# vivid yacht Ofcourse its fine to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 does a rich man ever see problems with his ric...

What i’m telling you is that damage EVERYWHERE is so high that if you are trying not to t1 and win within 15 turns, you need it. Otherwise, everything and their momma blows you up. Look at bloodbath xiada and non bb xiada for example. Even at max flames without bb, she dies to rahu. With bb, she can actually fulfill her atk bruiser role.

Mind you, these damages are AFTER rev nerf, ethrena damage nerf etc, so bb is obnoxious but it’s necessary.

I tried not running bb on my units,you survive nothing. even jackal guards ticks chunk you down a lot from full supports mind you.

The more squishy units you play the more obvious the overtuned damage is. It's obscene how hard some of these units hit if you're not on BB.

Tia S1 counter is probably the most notorious.

On the cc side I've sniped so many animus with Tiger Yin because they dared not bring the BB condom.

I mean, I feel like damage is fine, most animus do reasonable dmg, except for massiah tia and a little lesser rahu, besides those 3 noones really doing insanly more damage then you'd expect, problem is you cant make blanket changes that affect all animus without addressing the outliers

# vivid yacht Hmmm Okurr shell and dealing with BB at same time? Then which shell? Amber? Fort...

bro momade i feel like you’re being obtuse on purpose man 😭.
All they’re saying, and what i’m saying is that bloodbath isn’t the issue. damage overall is. If you dont wanna die, you must use bb.

Now you say this is ONLY because bruisers use it to cheese cc/cleave, but you said it yourself, the higher you go the less cleave/cc you need to prepare for.

Most fights will be bruiser/cc mirrrors. If you let tiamat in on opponent side, she can, with bb 2 tap some holdens. Without bb, he’s dead. This is the same interaction of holden vs rahu, rahu vs tiamat, etc. Borgne vs the world. Kokardi vs everybody whatever.

Even pure tanks on max damage reduction build, get killed by dps viper without bloodbath. That’s how juiced damage is across the board. This isn’t including shell chip damage which can have bizarre and stupidly high scalings on certain units.

So if you are tired of everyone being on bloodbath, you don’t nerf bloodbath damage reduction, you do an overhaul on damage overall. That’s what we are telling you.

Nobody disagrees that tiamat does too much damage, literally everyone agrees to that lmao.

TBH though you have to admit that samool isn't really a reliable source of info. He has been becoming more and more negative about the game (which is not an issue, you can feel w/e you want about the game) but then its seeping into his bias and view on the game as well. He keeps saying in his rta videos that he is for fun and he doesn't really climb. So him saying that the game is going towards a T2 playstyle doesn't hold much weight..

All I am seeing people talking about P5 massi does this n that , I don't think even 10% of the players who play cleave have p5 massi ( i have p1 maasi)

What about them do they not deserve to play Rta or they should quit this game because the lattice they invested in cleave playstyle they can't even switch to brusier playstyle

In this meta brusier can win 70- 80 % of the game against cleave

In my type of draft where i pick 4 rev unit with tsuku/ aya / mio ban protect , i mostly loose against brusier because in this game cutting mechanic is just absurd or they survive by little health and healers heal them to almost full ( i have gotten solo by holden and a healer many times)

You wanna nuke your opponent t1? either you’re gonna need god sets or shell out some sheckles to make it happen.

also, tbh unless you used all your lats to spam 555 beyo, tsuki, mass, yeli, batsby, koka, cleave xiada, etc etc you should be able to pivot to t2 after a month or two of aurora.

I don't know why I wasted 1 years playing e7

Even Grand Daddy summoners war don't have stats hiding behind skill ups

I don't even know which game needs opener 555 to play cleave i only know that dps needs 555 to play cleave

Thanks you for enlightenment

maiden forge
# crimson coyote Oh! Now I know why I am having problems in this game because This game Daddy E7 ...
  1. E7 is much more limited-unit and ld-gated than this game because of 50/50 system and their artifact system.

  2. spd rng in modules for e7 AND sw are much more expensive with higher variation ( sw 4-6 rolls)(e7 with it’s bum-ass charm leveling system)It’s buns rolling here but i mean statistically, it’s easier here to hit spd goals.

  3. All of these games require your cleave unit and opener to be max skilled. At the higher levels of e7, you know as well as i do, how important max imprints are. In sw it’s mandatory to have your dps units maxed as a cleaver, and spd leads are super important.

  4. Sw top players aren’t cleaving, maybe a VERY small handful (and even they consistently have tons of bruiser counterpicks built) It doesn’t have hidden stats, but it has no pity, so you have really 0 way of catching up to spenders who just have a whole hoard of the most busted lds with next to no counterplay.

all these games are unfair because they’re gacha casinos that wanna suck up as much as your time as possible. Why would they make it f2p to take the fastest route to victory? FOMO and ego-checking fuels sales (cleave playstyle). Just how it is

Reread what you wrote brother 😭.
He had this damage > new version comes out > the damage isn’t being expressed properly. It isn’t magical damage. He had it beforehand but it wasn’t properly being applied after the patch. ergo.. it was a bug that needed to be fixed.

Whether you think the damage is too high, low , whatever makes no difference lmao. It’s a bug fix line, not a balancing line.

They’ll do balance changes in a batch in a separate announcement when it’s time.

No certainly not, it's why I suggested it ages ago to have it thought about.
c already knows my thoughts on the game and how I'd genuinely like to see it succeed, but the way we've been going for the past few months with the overall lack of content leaves many dissatisfied sadly.

I've seen many of my friends leave the game as a result and can only hope they commit to a decision.

Currently the way I see it, is releasing units or shells to attempt to fix the problem isn't going to get us much of anywhere. The meta is just "oh new ld time to fp" dv_frogKekOwO

We really just need to see commitment to fixing the current state of the game, i.e explaining what is currently in the works for the next patch.

i cannot for the life of me understand why the new ld gets to s3 when she dies before going into ice state with amber, then gets stacks IN ICED STATE to s3 immediately coming out, what on earth is this

ninfo/batsby were supposed to solve rengo, plume solved bruiser (holden/rahu mainly), aya solved plume, raymerry solved amber whilst abusing amber

Wait plume solved bruisers? More like plume became bruiser!

but i meant more for t2 v t2 matchups (pre aya)

Well… that’s only mainly true for bruisers. Anything can be a bruiser with BB…

Thats why i been preposing damage nerfs in the base crit damage across the board so building damage feels more rewarding. ATM you don't gain nearly as much from a damage set as bloodbath. Nerfing base damage while buffing scaling helps move non bruisers off of bb bc then they wouldn't do any damage. Nerfing the crit damage would make it so a counter to a non bb unit isn't completely fatal. At the same time a bb nerf and healing nerf would be needed so the bruiser mirrors aren't extremely long.

An example of the base damage vs squishies is that dps characters do not need pure damage to kill each other. They can spec into swiftrush to go first or go bloodbath and tank it out but still dish similar damage as if full damage. Its always gna be more stat efficient to go towards tankiness if your damage is already high. Why would you need more damage if you can survive a bit longer ur overall damage is technically higher. In this game damage is being held in check by a 55% damage reduction from bloodbath. A Holden on unbreakable or a Tiamat on wellspring would find themselves getting oneshotted (also because these sets give so little stats)

CC feels bad to play against and with because of the eff res and eff acc formulas(eff acc is favored with a 100% boost vs 50% reduction for eff res) . The current state of cc lets you luck into wins against 3 cc counterpicks. Its incredibly frustrating to know cc is coming, draft anti cc units with very high eff res and then still get fully cc'ed to death. However, its also frustrating for the cc player when they get resisted when they built so much into eff acc. Theres also too viable little cleave options but Massiah is far too uninteractive for his kind of cleave to be the standard for cleave.

i propose they to make cleave broken in s2 so all the bruiser players can feel the pain of all t1 players where there invest animus is useless.

#

then the turn 1 players that arent super fast would feel like shit. Im already speed contesting these slower turn 1 players as a turn 2 player as many turn 2 players are starting to do.The investments for a t1 mirror doesn't need to be super high and im sure most brusier players will find they can easily pivot to turn 1. Turn 1 is in the state of where its insanely cheap to be used bc its just speed, but you need lattices to minmax it out for more speed and higher hit chances for cc units. and the people who are super slow (uncontrollable factor) would just not play the game at all. So if cleave becomes broken and bruiser unplayable that will be the state. You could probablly cleave mirror with any dps so all ur investment u did onto ur cleave dps to fight vs bruisers would feel pointless. A p0 115 yeli can oneshot a p5 massiah 5/5/5.

Don't worry , without bb nerf cleave will never be dominant

a fully invested dps with setup will one shot brusier then game is imbalance but a bb set brusier oneshot entire team with one s3 then game is balance they don't even have dps shell

Even with def break yeli can't even one shot a def scaling brusier

I mean bruisers DO have dps shell. they are hitting you with their dps shell and are on dps builds.

Without bb and on regular sets as we keep saying over and over, everything just insta-dies. Including tanks. When you build your cc and such on bb, you don’t die from holdens and tia counter hits usually, but you have to usually sacrifice an eff acc slot on right side to do it is the problem.

#

what? im not i just want bruiser player to feel pain

#

i already know the dev cant do anything about it. if they gut bb then all bruiser play going to scream and it invalidate months of farming blood bath gear or lattice investment.

#

the dev cant be that dumb to do that. so the meta will always involve around bb unless they do a massive rework to there balance which i highly doubt there smort enough to pull it off.

#

there going to relize sooner or later when they try to release new module set that ppl will still perfer to use bb which is a bad game design for the future

LMFAO thats the problem, the "dps" builds are literally just cdmg main stat mods because base blood bath is so over tuned that you dont even need defensive stats to survive ANY other cleaver that isnt a maxed duped, max latticed end game geared massiah, "too much dmg" is the dumbest excuse ive ever heard that you keep spouting over and over, tias too strong, rahu and mery are insane, guess what nerf bloodbath a bit and youll have to actually use defensive modules to live cleave, then you wont have 350% cdmg to hit with, all that dmg goes down then doesn't it?

How does saying merry/rahu/tiamat do too much damage disprove that damage across the board is too high? If anything you’re agreeing with me, but blaming the problem on the wrong cause.

Without bloodbath, a 65k tiamat doesn’t survive a regular massiah bomb. Even less so with double pushes. They wouldn’t even survive a tsutomo, liliam, would probably get 1-tapped by blue rin s2 (unsure because haven’t tested it since her buff). So yea, bloodbath is necessary to survive, or what? you want everyone on wellspring spamming amber even more than they are now?

And yes they’re built on damage shells for their output type(hp cr cd spd/ def cr cd spd). Atk nukers build atk/cr/cd/spd on shells that boost damage. Hp builds amber that has better hp stats/giga with etherplague etc. Artisan boosts flat def like count does. Gives a shield instead of life steal etc.

The thing is hp/def are inherently more valuable stats to have in a turn based game than just straight-up atk.

So yes, damage across the board is omega high that bloodbath becomes the only way to play the game ( without cc lock) for multiple rounds. Even a 10k hp xiada survives like 3x more hits than a 20k xiada no bb

nah mate, youre completely wrong here and you keep saying it, damage is too high because bloodbath covers ALL your defensive needs on its own, tia runs crit cdmg cdmg, rahu runs the same, mery is gonan run teh same, you can only run triple or double eff res on healers because bloodbath reduces dmg by 55%, make that 35%, now you have to drop cdmg mods, so instead of double cdmg you run hp% on tia or def% on rahu holden whatever, damage gets lowered, eff res gets lowered, its all a cycle, damage is too high because base bloodbath is too strong and you dont need anything else for the most part, stop mentioning massiah, hes the only one cleaving things 100-0

seems like everyones running 250%+ cdmg which is 2 mods, so everything i said stands

jolly ember
#

ok either way if ppl run it or dont, as a bruiser player (mythic) yes i agree the damage is very high for us, especially on tiamat, i think holden is a bit high too and has a bit too much utility and should have never gotten buffed but i think rahu is ok he is very easy to deal with.

i think the level of misinformation is absurd by some of the people in this discord, like why is bateman blatantly just saying ppl can afford to run double cdmg and cr instead of a defensive module, or other people saying this and that.

the bottom line is that bruiser has the advantage right now, has more options, consumes way more lattices, and is favored by XD with these stupid new units.

we all know this from a mythic level and above and if you see us disagreeing like crazy (which i think most good bruiser players do not disagree) then its just clear bias, but also i think T1 players are so stupidly bias too, oh theres no options for this or that oh its just so easy to slap BB oh it takes no requirements, like it is clearly wrong on both ends

ah thats true dupes and shell, either way still building offensive stats because of the strength of bloodbath underneath is my point, if you lower bloodbath then youll have to build more defensively and drop some dmg, which then opens up more options for cleave and control on its own, and dont counter with bUt MaSsIaH, nerf him too, nerf him and tiamat both

#

ill even propose his nerf, reduces the def ignore to match harvest at max lattice, 30% instead of 70

Thing is t2 can just pick a poorly built mess and kill a t1 team with him.

I cant be picking a poorly built p0 tiamat with plume, tsuki, and whatever units t1 bring and expect it to work against t2.

It is much easier for t2 to steal units from t1. And the new units like sylph which provide even more counter play against cc playstyle does not help this issue

Moreover, with the amount of push mechanics such as gigabyte, strive, reaper, and plume give, it doesnt even seem worth to farm swiftrush anymore. 30% might seem like a small number, but it equates to about covering a 100 speed difference. So when people complain about speedcontest whatsoever, they clearly dont think about the amount of cutting that happens in game. A t2 unit has plenty of opportunity to move right after the first t1 unit moves.

like ive said before, i swear there is like 1 or 2 incompetent or jsut evil designer/dev from XD, we just have way too many options as bruisers, everybody with an eyeball can see that, OBJECTIVELY.

i been praying since last patch for these new units to be ONLY CC CLEAVE ONLY CC CLEAVE, IF PUT ON BB THEN DIE IMMEDIATE or something

also can we get a response/clarification if mery is actually supposed to get to s3 when she dies with amber, before she freezes, and also gains stacks while frozen, like are those bug interactions or intentional design

thats probably intentional

it does say she immediately casts her ult which I suppose is higher on the order than amber proc
