So I’m using Thanos (5/3/5) and I killed a goon with a critical and Court Death did not fire. I then did it twice more (lucky board) and Court Death did not fire even after my next match. I thought it might just be a delay. It was not.
I feel Court Death should fire after an enemy is downed, right? Not if an enemy is downed, unless you still have more turn.
I noticed this playing ultron sentries as well when using 2-star hawkeye. I wasn’t sure if it didn’t fire due to the speed shot firing, or the critical tile. Either way, I killed a sentry in that turn and expected court death to finish off the remaining sentries.
I think the title is mis-leading… as far as I can tell, the issue is will passive abilities and/or cascades.
Since a 5-match has a higher chance of triggering a cascade, it seems to be the trigger.
Best way to verify is by creating a “corner 5”… which is far less likely to cascade. These types of match-5s do not seem to prevent Court Death nearly as frequently…
Best reliability I’ve had: kill with a power, or a “simple” match that you know is unlikely to cause a cascade…
