Nekros' Shadows Of The Dead Unarmed Bug

[Reshun]

I've noticed during multiple survival matches while playing as Nekros that I wasn't able to create copies of the enemies that I've taken down after they were disarmed by Loki, with the exception of ancient infested as they aren't affected by Radial Disarm. I was confused at first until I took down a group of enemies that weren't disarmed and was able to create their copies contrary to my previous attempt where nothing spawned while my Nekros was initiating its casting animation.

I saw someone report this on the Warframe subreddit as well, so this isn't an isolated thing.

 

SotD has had the most bugs out of any Warframe power I can think of.

The title sumarize everything. There's a video footage of it, made by me and my friend darktemplar333.

Summary:

The Nekros ability [shadow of the Dead] seems to tag a shadow, but doesn't spawn it if the said target was killed after being Disarmed by Loki ability [Radial Disarm]. There's also the fact that any of your teamates can tag YOUR kills after you've spawned no shadow.

Weird. I was nekros with a loki earlier and this didn't happen.

[Darktemplar333]

Soul, what was your mod layout then, We'll see if the same thing happens with your loadout.

Weird. I was nekros with a loki earlier and this didn't happen.

It happened to me each time the loki in question radial disarmed all of my kills, disabling me from spawning ANY of my shadows.

We just got done with another match without any/as little mods on our warframes and it's still happening

Me and Darktemplar333 just tried with no mods but the ult and energy siphon, same result, Mods are irrelevant in this I guess

Killing enemies disarmed by Loki and using Shadows of the Dead does not revive the enemies. What's worse is that they are added to your recently killed enemies and overwrites the previous ones that can be revived.

 

Wiki info regarding enemies summoned. Take note of the statements underlined:

• Summons 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 shadow copies of the enemies you have most recently slain. These copies appear randomly within a 10 meter radius of your character and then fight for you until they die or 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds elapse.
  • Number of shadow copies is affected by Power Strength, but the level/stats of copies are not affected by it.
  • Radius at which copies appear is not affected by Power Range.
  • Shadow copies are taken from the last 20 enemies you have gotten killing blows on; teammate, sentinel, and your shadows' kills do not count. Once a specific enemy has been copied it is removed from your "recently-killed" list. The game does not remember any kills past your 20th.
    • For example, if you kill 30 enemies and cast this ability four times without killing any more enemies you will create 7, 7, 6, and 0 copies.

 

Example:

Killed normal enemy (Enemy 1)

Killed 6 disarmed enemies (Enemy 2-7)

Killed normal enemy (Enemy 8)

 

Using a maxed Shadows of the Dead with no + or - strength mod will only summon Enemy 8 where it should be able to summon Enemies 2-8 or it should at least summon Enemy 1 if the disarmed enemies are ignored. If only disarmed enemies are killed, the ability is used instead of "Skill not ready" being displayed.

 

It seems that disarmed enemies are added to your "Recently killed list" but are not spawned using SOTD.

 

This makes the ability useless if fighting alongside a Loki that has a disarm  build
