Game Mode: Hydra (observed on multiple difficulties, especially Nightmare)
Affected Champions:

• Kantra the Cyclone – Skill A2
• Michelangelo – Skill A2

Issue Description

When using Kantra the Cyclone (A2) followed by Michelangelo (A2), the debuffs applied by Kantra are not consistently or fully spread by Michelangelo, despite both skills functioning as described individually.

Expected Behavior

• Kantra A2 applies multiple debuffs to a Hydra Head according to its skill description.
• Michelangelo A2 spreads all debuffs currently present on the target enemy to other enemies, as stated in the skill description.
• Debuffs applied by Kantra should therefore be fully spread by Michelangelo.

Actual Behavior

• After Kantra A2 applies several debuffs to a Hydra Head, Michelangelo A2 often spreads only a subset of them.
• Some debuffs that are clearly visible and active on the target are not spread.
• No “Resisted” messages appear.
• Michelangelo has sufficient Accuracy (more than enough for Hydra Nightmare).

Additional Observations

• The issue is reproducible, especially when Michelangelo acts immediately after Kantra.
• It appears as if newly applied debuffs from Kantra are not fully recognized as spreadable by Michelangelo.
• Kantra applies debuffs; she does not spread debuffs herself, so Michelangelo’s spread should work independently.
• As a result, this champion combination does not function as intended, despite conceptually they should synergize very well.

Impact on Gameplay

This interaction makes the Kantra + Michelangelo combination unreliable and ineffective in Hydra, even though players invest resources specifically for this synergy.

The current behavior does not match the expectations set by the skill descriptions.

Request

Please investigate the debuff application and handoff timing between:

• Debuffs applied by Kantra A2
• Debuff spreading via Michelangelo A2

If this behavior is unintended, it should be corrected so that the combination functions as described and intended.

Fig.: Michelangelo’s A2 does not spread the debuffs applied by Kantra. The screenshot was taken immediately after Michelangelo’s A2 hit the Head of Decay. The only debuffs that were spread are Decrease ATK from Wixwell, Hex from Kantra’s Cursed set, and Michelangelo’s self-applied Decrease DEF.
