Thanos Court Death Sometimes Fails [Fixed in R126]

No offense but, aren’t these the tasks of PAID TESTERS? This has been a persistent issue for 2 months

Hit this again today.

X-23/OML/Thanos 3*. Matched a 4 green (X-23) and 3 red (OML) at the same time. X-23 healed, the na cascade occurred killing a character. Court Death didn’t fire.

This power is simply a mess.

Been playing around with Thanos a bit tonight. As best I can tell, Court Death isn’t firing if the killing blow was from team-up tile damage. I’ve seen this consistently happen three times in the past hour.

Hey who doesn’t love retro stuff right?

Devs clearly do because they’ve brought back that awesome thanos bug whereby his court death passive does not trigger if the enemy is downed with a match 5…again.

Aint no party like a thanos party…shame I can’t get death to show up at it though whenever theres a match 5

Happened again on a lightning round. If at all helpful, I had a cascade killed both of the 1* weaklings on a seed team, but it never fired to take out the featured.

Court Death states “When YOU down an enemy” since Ares downs himself this is …Working as IntendedTM

Had 5* Panther black out, made a match and when the extra Panther black damage was applied, it downed the enemy, but court death didn’t trigger. In discussing with alliancemates, several people have seen this. I can’t believe there’s not already a bug out here about this, especially with all the champed Thanos’ I see out there…

Bump.

Why is this not stickied?! This is a huge fucking bug.

I’ve been using Thanos a LOT (like… daily)… and I think the bugs on this are getting much rarer.

I’m having trouble remembering the last time it didn’t fire as expected, but it does happen… and I think it’s STILL tied to passives triggered during a cascade.

Can other’s with more frequent occurrences post their experiences (especially if it’s 3* or 5* Thanos, and how else you’re teaming him with).?

I still frequently see this bug. From what I’ve seen, if you happen to down an opponent during a cascade, Court Death doesn’t trigger. This is the only consistent common denominator in all cases I’ve seen.

So if your opponent dies on the match damage of the tiles you match – CD triggers. If your opponent dies by you firing a power – CD triggers. If you make a match that damages the opponent down to 1hp, and this causes a tile to drop and make another match, killing the opponent, CD does not trigger.

This would be ‘consistent’ in the way that CD only triggers when the opponent dies directly by your hand. But I’d argue that a cascade caused by you is also a death by your hand. For example, Teen Jean’s blue passive states ‘When the opponent makes a Match 5, [..]’, and her passive also triggers when you unintendedly cascade into a match-5.

@Tombstone you can pass that along to the devs :mrgreen:

Court Death has all sorts of issues with not firing off.

I tend to believe the “deal damage twice” change/bug is related to this. I think they might have changed how it works to trigger Court Death better, but it didn’t fix the issue, and they haven’t reverted back to the original method.

There are numerous threads about court death not firing

Death by Cascade (match 5 or the immediate aftermath of one)…not Working as Intended

Death by Passive (passives cannot trigger other passives) Working as Intended

was the enemy downed by the Black Countdown or by the yellow passive…if the latter working as intended

if not let’s hope they at least get Thanos working right before they nerfbat him

weird thing happened to me today with this in the groot pvp - after court death failing to fire, groot yellow passive heal failed twice. as if thanos gave him performance anxiety or something…

Was Thanos purple CD on board? That will block R&G’s healing since the TU tiles can’t be destroyed

This and are you sure R$G were at or under the required % of max Health?

Just had bug happen 5 times to me during Cloak and Dagger PVP. If Cloak places black tiles on the board and it creates a match that kills an enemy; Thanos Passive will not go off.

Cloak’s Black Power i a passive in this situation…passives don’t cause other passives to be triggered

I bet they’ve been thinking of changing/nerfing Court Death because of the bugs and how powerful it is.

Did this get fixed? I’ve had a couple of cascades involving crits lately that did trigger it, and don’t think I’ve seen it fail for a while now.

had it fail on me yesterday…
