Battle Machine Doesn‘t Take Damage From Lava Launcher

[TullSadum]

Hi,

is this a bug, or am I poor sighted?

This is a L24 BM attacking my village, staying inside the molten lava from the Launcher, but taking next to no damage while hitting walls!

BM approaching 46 secs left on the clock


First shell from the Launcher hits it’s mark at 41 secs left on the clock


Time goes by.... no damage


More time goes by.... still no damage

The BM stays in the lava area for 6 seconds, and doesn’t seem to take any damage at all.

Same thing happens again, when the BM starts attacking the next layer of walls.

Am I missing something here?

EDiT: looked at it even closer now:



actually the BM stays inside from 41 secs left on the clock until 27 secs left and uses hp recovery once during that period, at 29 secs left;
so the BM is in the lava area 12 seconds, then uses the ability and is in the area for another 2 seconds.
The hp-recovery at L24 is 950, and the BM stays inside the lava area for 14 seconds total.
Espescially in the last 2 seconds there is no damage visible on the health bar.

Now I understand that the machine‘s hp is pretty high, and the early damage of my L4 launcher is only 7dps which would of course make for no visible dent in the health bar. But it does go up to 260 dps.
The duration of sucha lava area is 20 seconds, so after 11 seconds, more than half of that time has passed and the 12th second that the BM is inside that lava area should leave a visible mark on the health bar.

I am considering the possibility that the ability of the BM resets the damage from the lava area.
It must be either that, or the BM not taking damage at all.

Please SC look into this.

Thanks.

good to see this thread. look what i have posted few days back.

can anyonetell me how the ll works? the description say 2-200 damage and this made me think it works like single inferno but i cant see the op in lavalauncher.

i asked this because i do air attacks and the bm looks like getting no real damage and thought i have missed something about the ll.

yeah, there definately is something strange here,
the mortar shells do make a visible change to the health bar, and the lvl8 mortar shell is 50 damage per hit
after the ability with health recovery, the machine takes one or possibly two shells and that does show on the health bar,
however neither the first 10 seconds, nor the 11th and 12th second leave any.
