Napalm/Tesla... bug?

So I've discovered (since the casino decided my highest level weapon by far should be napalm... ) ((goes great with my 800 rudders)) that if you shoot a napalm shot and it lands directly on a Tesla shield, it just poofs.

Seems wrong somehow, like it should still explode. So 'probably' a bug? But hey maybe working as intended. 60/40 chance. Waiting for responses to confirm.

 

This happens with all mortar shots if the tesla shield is right in the center. Even works on Frost Launcher too. Not a bug, just one of the perks of running a Tesla Shield.

 

So does the mortar shot reduce the Tesla shield's HP in that case? If not, how is that not a bug?

 

I have also napalm launcher epic t2 and does 110 dmg per second and same thing happens to me , i wouldn't say its bug

 

Yep

 

Mortar shots do reduce the Tesla Shields HP, but since Napalm only does damage because of time inside the napalm, damage to the shield is Zero. Same thing happens to the fire bomb I think. It is not a bug, because that is what the Shield is designed to do. Kind of a hard counter to mortars.

 

I thought all napalm shots, no matter the level, instantly delete tesla shields

 

I don't think so, I should have ss'd that match ID I guess. Next time I will... but it's not very common to see and realize that's what happened.

 

Firebomb damages (with its full damage in one hit) and breaks Tesla shield, like flare does but mine seems to break to napalm too, I didnt know that it could not break to a napalm.

 

Works as intended. Shields block EVERY WEAPON except torpedos and mines if the projectile actually hits the shield. Typically being in center of red circle will do this but it’s not always the case, you need to take into account angle of shot and waves, plenty of times just being in the center will not guarantee a block. Depends on shield strength and weapon strength to determine whether it will pop or not. Fire weapons are calculated based on their total dmg which is why most fire weapons pop a shield (typically the combined damage of fire weapons is pretty high) therefore it will break most shields. I’ve never noticed my shields block a frost launcher but I’ve also never actively tried because I didn’t think they work that way, you may want to research that further, if you have seen this I would assume that it’s a bug or situational glitch.

 

I may be completely wrong, napalm could just cause a 3 second stun, same with fire bomb or frost launcher. I haven't used Tesla Shield for a while, and when I do use one it is an epic. So I might not be the most reliable source. Something to research tho

 

Napalm acts like any other fire weapon. if the shield hp is greater than the collective damage of the fire weapon it does not stun you or break shield
