[.50] [Bug] - Immune to Physical clashing with some combat abilites

March 25, 2013 5:36:36 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I just fought a banshee with a champion who had a lightning hammer equipped. If I just straight up attacked the banshee, it took 10 lightning damage. If I used the crushing blow, my champ would execute his attack animation, and be dazed by the crushing blow, but the banshee would not take any damage. I wouldn't see any floating damage text OR an 'Immune' message.

By design? If so, something should tell me what happened, instead of me wondering why I wasted a turn and did no damage. Otherwise, needs addressed.

I don't think Crushing Blow ever does any elemental damage, even in FE.  All I think it does is double physical Attack.

If I'm using a weapon that does only elemental damage, that seems really wonky. If that is the intended design, there should still be some indication of what the hell happened. All that was shown in the actual combat was that my hero was dazed and there was no result whatsoever to the Banshee. If it doubled my physical attack and stripped my elemental attack (which is weird), I would have thought there would have been an 'immune' message from the banshee, just as if I'd hit it with an physical-only weapon. Not... nothing.

Even if the design is for no damage in that situation, NO feedback is bad design. Or a bug. Either way, something is amiss.
