Rancor's Devour Cooldown Fires Before 6 Count.

frenulum · May 2, 2016 4:29PM

Just curious to know if anyone else is seeing the Rancor use it's devour before 6 turns.
The cooldown starts off at 6, but then drops to 4 after the Rancor's first turn.

Thanks,

If I remembered correctly, his aoe attack reduces his cooldowns by 1 if any of ur toons were below 50% hp when he uses the aoe attack. That would explain his devour cd go from 6 to 4 after the attack.

Then, the cooldown for the Rancor's Devour drops by two again. So, this is what I am seeing, in regards to the Rancor's Devour cooldown.

Match begins, Devour @ 6.
Immediately after Rancor's first attack, Devour drops down, from 6 to 4.
Immediately after Rancor's second attack, Devour drops down, from 4 to 3.
Immediately after Rancor's third attack, Devour drops down, from 3 to 2.
Immediately after Rancor's fourth attack, Devour drops down, from 2 to 0.

It seems like this guy is missing 2 more cooldowns for this skill.

I have retreated and retested, and it happens very often... nearly every time.

I have even had the Rancor use devour on my guy on its 3rd turn.

Thank you,

And again, just now, the Rancor used devour while it still showed to be in cooldown (was still at 1, this time)

Hmm... nice... Rancor just killed my last guy, then the game said the client needed to be restarted and logged me out... bout right.

Hmmm, I suppose that would make sense. What is the cooldown for that aoe attack?

Also, how would the Rancor be able to use devour while it was still in cooldown?

This is what I think.

Its aoe slam damages ur toons first, then depending on how many r less than 50%, it will reduce the countdown by that amount.

Say u have its devour countdown on 6.

It takes a turn, so countdown goes down to 5.

The skill it used during the first turn was aoe slam, and all 5 toons have their health reduced to <50%, so countdown goes to 0.

Rancor gets bonus turn after its first turn (kinda like 100% TM gain skill), and cos its devour countdown is now 0, it can eat someone up straight away.

So if u r unlucky, it is possible to get devoured after the first round of his 2 attacks

I understand what you are saying there, and that would also make sense. However, what about when the devour cd is still on a number (1 or 3, as it has happened so far...) and the Rancor uses devour? That certainly does not seem to be the correct behavior.

Also, I just started an attack on the Rancor, phase 2, for the first time, and he used devour immediately. I thought it started on a 6...?
