Saturn_VII Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 For the third time now within the last week, I have loaded into a mission with my nova prime and my 2nd ability (antimatter drop) will not deal damage. The animations/particle effects all appear to be working correctly (I see 0's for the damage numbers) and it energy cost is unaffected. The problem will start at the beginning of a mission and last for its duration. It does not seem to matter whether or not the projectile is charged (my usual charging method being two shots from a tigris prime, but that does not seem to make a difference). My other abilities appear to function properly, but I didn't test null star. I have been having difficultly reproducing this in either the simulacrum or in PUG groups. I know the last time I had this issue I was in a PUG that I was not the host of (the 1st mission of today's sortie, a defense in the kuva fortress). A limbo was there (protecting the objective), but neither I nor the targeted enemies in question were in the rift (plus weapons did work). I will make edits to this post if I manage to reproduce the issue again, hopefully with more information and screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobyTheDuck Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It happens on Elemental Resistance sorties, Nova's MP always deals 0 damage there for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this intended? According to the wiki, antimatter drop (which I assume you were intended) deals radiation damage. Does this bug/feature also apply to other abilities that deal radiation damage e.g. Mirage's prism or is it just a Nova thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lessil Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I assume it was because the grineer (if it was grineer always) level was so high that the elemental resistance + their huge armor rating completely negated the elemental damage. Has it only happened in sorties? Was it only on elemental resist maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant say on other frame skills, but we had another Grineer Elemental sortie some days ago, Antimatter wasnt dealing any damage there too.

Saturn_VII Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I want to say that the time before when I noticed this was also a sortie. It was a grineer interception mission on the grineer settlement tile set (like mars). I do not recall the modifier. That said, even with extremely high resistance values, you still should expect anything with as much raw damage an antimatter drop to do 0 damage. Resistance cut your damage by a percentage, so some damage should have been getting through even if it was a small percentage. I did some testing and a syniod simulor which does only deals magnetic damage was able to damage them. I also tried a detron which only deals radiation damage and that did 0 damage. However, that might just be because my detron is not all forma'd up like my simulor is. Radiation damage is supposed to be strong against alloy armor, so I wouldn't expect radiation in particular to be bad against grineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
