This also happened YEARS AGO with Infernus and Tina.
What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: Cogbolt’s skill is to attack an enemy + 2 more random ones. Occassionally, it only attacks twice total. I’m using it for the first time in Journey this week and he’s only attacking twice.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening? Every 2 or 3 casts. Though after I recognized it, I started recording and used the rest of my sigils and it didn’t happen again. I’ve confirmed with others in my guild however, that it’s happening to them as well.
Steps to make it happen again Cast cogbolt’s skill.
This bug is ubiquitous. Almost every troop released that hits multiple random targets has this problem. For some reason, instead of picking a random target as each shot is fired, it seems to determine each target in advance. Then, if a later shot is meant for a target killed by an earlier shot, the later shot just gets dropped instead of selecting a new target.
Ratchet Cogbolt has been out quite a while now, it’s disappointing he still hasn’t been fixed, especially since he’s one of the stronger troops available in this week’s Journey, or at least he would be if he worked properly.
It might be more complicated. I saw two shots killing both remaining enemies, then a third shot killed the troop that spawned on the death of the last troop. If it picks the targets in advance it shouldn’t have killed the one that spawned on death.
Other times I’ve seen two shots instead of three. With no clue why it sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t.
