It's time to fix the Galvatron S2/will of Unicron bug

This is a bug that has existed for a very long time, and it happens wayyyy too often during the Galvatron miniboss fight to ignore it any longer.
Galvatron often instantly triggers will of Unicron after his S2 is dodged and he does it without charging to 30 dark energy.
It makes fighting him extremely difficult, especially if you rush in for a counterattack only to get your face smashed because you didn't expect unstoppable after his S2.
Nowhere in the description does it state he has a chance to trigger will of Unicron after firing S2.
It has to be some kind of bug where block is being held during the S2 animation, resulting in the system treating it like full dark energy by the time it completes.
This simply shouldn't happen, and it needs to fixed, pronto.

Fine, if it were to consistently happen for US, too. And no, he's not on some mod or node, happens during arenas, as well.
I have a Sig 95 Galvatron, and does it happen?
Does it squat.
If you block his s2 it doesn’t trigger. Typically a player doesn’t miss specials but I’ve had it happen when, for example, Arcee triggers her ranged evade.
It seems like it’s designed that way but another example of it not being in his description which has happened on many bots.
Yes, the charges stay at 30 during the special, but it shouldn’t be like he’s charging back up to 30 again.
An unintended side effect of the 30 dark energy charges restarting the timer on S2.
At least the dev team knows what the cause is and can work on it.
To me, the solution is simple.
When S2 finishes, all dark energy charges are wiped out to 0 whether it lands or not.
Thus eliminating the bug triggering will of Unicron again
@Kabam Vydious was a change to the s2 pushed because it did not seem to trigger the way it has and this is actually something I want to confirm because it changes the strategy to counter attack.
I can confirm it didn't change, lol. Dodged an sp2, went in to counter and got nailed.
Any chance we might see this fixed with the eventual release of the android patch?
even if we go with this theory of a new charge, it's still a bug because if you dodge the 1st attack, it's 100% that he will get W.O.U and go unstoppable. Yeah, you spend all your time bait and dodging only for his to go unstoppable. He'll usually do an aggressive attack and go back to charging to a SP1, and you're back at square one. horrible
Fight him at high level in AM, then see how you feel about it. And by high level, I mean anything 100+
Fair point.
If it were a bug to help, you can bet it would be an 8 hour fix, but I'd say don't expect this to ever change. It's just not in their best interest.
It is not an excuse to not fix the bug
Way it’s been triggering for me is:
* Charges to 30
* Will of Unicron doesn’t trigger
* Sp2 has a chance to trigger Will of unicron
* If Will of Unicron did trigger, it doesn’t re-trigger
* I have it yet to re-trigger if Will of Unicron expires during SP2
that is not the bug that we're talking about. the bug gives Gal a 100% chance to get WOU when you dodge the first hit of his sp2....and it will reset his WOU if he already has one going into the sp2
not 100% my friend. I know this for a fact.
If you watch his dark energy charges, you'll see how it works.
When he launches S2 with 30 dark energy charges (with or without WOU active) the dark energy charge timer resets, giving him a secondary chance to trigger Will of Unicron, whether or not it was active.
It's a side effect of when they fixed the issue of dark energy expiring during S2, preventing Galv from landing dark burn.
There is one way to stop it (well.. two actually) but I'm not mentioning it here. Kabam will fix that and not fix the underlying issue, making him even more difficult. The end result could be a gamebreaking Galvatron potential to have WOU active perpetually throughout the entire fight.
It's almost that way right now.
