Hard Faction Wars Stage Requirements - 'Don't Let Enemies Heal'
I'm trying to figure out if the requirement to 3 star some of the hard faction war stages 'Don't Let Enemies Heal' is bugged or was delibrately put into the game where 100% heal reduction is useless.
From my searches it appears to be intended. If a champ has a passive or active skill that is used that triggers a heal you fail the requirement to 3 star the stage even if you have 100% heal reduction on the entire enemy team. A 100% heal reduction should fill the requirement as the healing is 0 and therefore nothing but apparently it doesn't which is honestly horrible design. Especially considering the counter is hard cc and/or block active/passive skills. The problem with that is some of the waves contain champs like Supreme Galek who has a passive that when hard cc is used on him cleanses it, heals 50% (which instantly fails the challenge) and get an instant turn. The other option requires rare debuffs (block active and block passive skills) that not every faction has access to on a consistent basis if at all. The final option is straight up brute force nuking which sort of defeats the purpose of the challenge anyway. This leads me to ask did anyone at Plarium actually play test this content?
While I am on hard faction wars - the tainted mirror boss needs a serious nerf or rework. The boss is perhaps the hardest boss in the game and is insanely overtuned. Its skills need reworked. The A3 aoe hp swap needs either removed and replace with another skill or reworked where it can be blocked by 100% heal reduction. I would personally change the A3 and rework the boss. The passive buff/debuff flip remains but is reduced to 20% chance and can be resisted. The A3 directly converts your buffs to debuffs and it's debuffs to buffs and can't be resisted with only protected buffs/debuffs being uneffected. The A2 buff strip remains as it is. The boss still performs as per its name and requires very careful management of your buffs and debuffs and is still difficult but not the level of obnoxious it is now.
