Example:
Daken does his blue ability Chemical Reaction with no strike tiles on the board. Damage is done. Two blue tiles get converted to green tiles. The green tiles created form a match with other green tiles. This triggers his passive ability Pheromone rage and forms a strike tile. Match damage occurs, and new strike tile disappears, apparently eaten up by the Chemical Reaction. I have seen this happen more than once, so it appears reproducible. What I am not sure is if the correct damage is being giving out by Chemical Reaction.
As far as I know, it’s a bug in the order of operations for Daken’s powers, the damage numbers should be correct. Unfortunately the bug has been around for quite some time already, see for example Additional, or "Bonus", damage is being treated as a second attack. [By Design] - MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues - 505 Go! Official Forums . And apparently, it is ‘not easy’ to fix.
To summarize the bug: in the old, ‘correct’ situation, chemical reaction would process like this:
- Deal base damage + bonus damage (based on the amount of strike tiles present on the current board)
- Remove strike tiles
- Convert blue tiles to green and resolve any green matches that occur. Also place strike tiles for these matches.
In the current bugged situation:
- Deal base damage
- Convert blue tiles to green and resolve any green matches that occur. Also place strike tiles for these matches.
- Deal bonus damage based on the amount of strike tiles present on the current board
- Remove strike tiles
Hmm my bad I only checked the last month for stuff, I should have gone back a little farther I guess. I assumed they fix things with a month, especially when they have time to come out with things like vaulting and nerfing characters.

actually if one reads his power description this “bug” is actually the power working as it should
