Red Imps

We had a run-of-the-mill 363 temple with a red imp (s5). A guild mate noticed attacks w cyan1 Huntress and DM failed. He got a video that seems to show those 2 phys damage toons doing no damage at all to the imp, with the imp showing no counter effects that might account for it (resist, dodge, et al).

Any clues as to what's going on?

Funny you say that. We had a similar situation with a guild member hitting a similar temple and his Bard didn't do any damage either. It happened twice in the same temple for him.

I will see if I can find out more information

Oh boy, I thought I was the only one with this issue. I was in a level 480 temple against a Faith Healer... a couple buffs, but nothing too crazy; got through the first wave without issues (if there were issues, I didn’t notice them) then it was down to my bard and DM. They were dealing zero damage to Faith healer titan and pumpkin headed scarecrow wanker. After the first time through I assumed they were dodging or some goofy glitch was happening, but then I did it again with a similar lineup (Bard and DM were still active). Again, no damage to the same minions. Went back with completely different toons and finished it up without noticing any issues. Haven’t seen that issue again since, but it was annoying

Hmm...happened in second stage for us as well. Also present were Shaman, Moon, and Kraken

When Dungeon Man drops a Trap Door everyone takes a step forward. During that brief animation the Imp takes damage. I think this has more to do with Moon and locking up the screen freeze frame than anything. I've seen it before using Wolf in temples along side Moon+Shaman. Mesmerize applies the effect graphic immediately, but it seems as tho the damage is somehow queued up for "next_frame" or something of that nature. But with the screen locked up completely, it doesn't happen.

Happened again in another fight with Faith Healer temple. This one was a little different though, on second wave with archer and spectral left, spectral possesses a minion and squirrel takes no damage for the rest of the wave. I’ll see if I can change the format of the video I took and upload... pretty lame.

LOL! Great description there.

Solution is simple.

Just press that auto button and let imp exit the animation.
Archer slows enemy animation/speed so she helps holding imp in invincibility frames I guess.

Blu_Moon_Moon 2018-02-10 14:46:50 UTC #9

Don't know if that applies in our case....
If you watch the video you can see the auto button being turned on and off, without seeming to make a difference óò

You stop it really for short time. if you will watch viddeo closely you'll see imp actually start getting damage and then comes invinsible again after spam starts.

UPD I guess i've figured out your problem - look on the top of the screen and then closely starting at 0.23 - your kraken stacks his white.
While enemy in krakens grasp amination he's invinsible for several frames just like DM trapdoor.

Try to exclude kraken from squad or just do temple on manual w/o kraken white.

@rfgcdfdhuf Cheers!

I've had this issue too -- the imp was immune to magic damage, and took no damage from physical attacks (even very strong ones, like DM's). Turning off Auto didn't help.
