Tech - Deceptive Invisibility is Immune to Damage Over Time Based Specials

[REO]

I didn't know about this. I found out when I knocked a Reptile player down against the corner and threw caltrops with Erron Black as I went to grab my coffee. Needless to say he woke up with EX invisibility and hit me with an elbow dash. He then chipped me out on block as he was standing on the caltrops for a few seconds while he had 1% health left. GG. This also works with Kotal Kahn's Sun Ray and other DOT based specials.

Check it out below:

I know the DoT from Venomous ovipostor attacks aren't a special, but did you test it against that?

 

[RM NoBrows]

Do you know if predators cloaking has he same effect?

 

[M.D.]

GOOD! BUFF IT!

Literally the first thing I thought of before I even opened the thread.

 

[Butcherd666]

Thats great to know actually especially for kotal ray thats great

Oh please let it

The regular stealth should be faster, whatever property they give it, it needs to stay on hit and block.

I do like that you can take a projectile hit and you won't take damage for it.

I actually gave this a quick test. It's true that invisibility and even normal stealth stop her dots, but they don't go away. If you knock Reptile out of invis before the dot ends, you still get the remainder of the damage. This does allow him to get out of about ~8% damage off of certain combos, but people greatly overestimate how much actual damage Venomous gets from dots in a regular match. Fairly certain that I usually do a good deal more chip damage than dots, due to the way the dots scale making them much better in higher numbers than the maybe 3 or 4 you might get in 5 seconds outside of a combo.

You are a reptile main and you do not know this?

 

[legion666]

Can reptile run through caltrops being invisible?!

 

[HatecraftsWife]

Nope, they still slow him down even if he is invisible.

I was the reptile in the story. It changes nothing. This is a very small thing. No idea why it got front paged. Guess my emoticon wasn't clear enough.

Stop posting forever pls

For real though, I need to start telling all the stuff I randomly find. I knew this for a while now but figured that was on purpose and was known.

 

[Eddy Wang]

So the theory is:
Since reptile cannot take damage while invisible, the tick damage doesn't revert back the effect of invincibility so he continues to nullify it because he is invisible.

So in theory, if Reptile could have a way to trade hits without losing his cloak he would continuously be immune to any kind of damage.

Good stuff REO.

 

[Vak Phoenix]

good find as usual mr reo, try venomous if the dot finishes when he turns invis

 

[MKF30]

Interesting. Patch worthy or nah?

 

[lm Tweakk]

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't he take 0 damage from the first hit he takes while in ex invisibility?
