Possible megatron glitch in new map

I was fighting megatron on the new AM map and got him to phase 3. At some point (I think it was after the first 10 seconds) he had both the melee and ranged defense buff up. After every 10 seconds, both buffs would refresh so could never do more than 1 damage a hit other than IH’s burn. Maybe I’m just not understanding the mod right but I don’t think that is how it’s supposed to work.
Any thoughts?

@Kabam Miike please help.
We ran map 3-1; and we took our boss down with links still up. No problem. We aren’t that strong either.
Because sarcasm gets the issue resolved. And of course somewhere out there Kabam has, I guess, claimed to be perfect. They had enough on their plate. So they missed a simple enough bug. If we act like adults and report in the proper manner, it will get resolved far faster than making snide remarks in a thread about a potential bug.
That said, yes, my Alliance experienced this as well and we were running higher than diff 1. We were still able to beat him with work. To reiterate, during phase 3, Megatron had both melee and ranged resist going at same time.
I know it sounds stupid but that may be the case.
The team is aware and looking for a fix right now. Thank you all for reporting it, and we are working to address this as soon as we can.
What about all the revives and repairs we've all wasted?
Kabam Karma, here. I'm one of the devs that worked on the new Alliance Mission map, so I'd like to apologize for the issue that some of you have experienced with Megatron. After investigating, we found that there were actually 2 parts the buff that were not working as intended:
The first issue was reported by users during Phase 3 of the Evolved Power buff.
Issue: This buff, in some cases, was granting BOTH melee and ranged protection simultaneously. This did not occur 100% of the time, but for those affected, phase 3 became almost impossible to complete.
Fix: We've made sure that both resistances are toggling on and off properly. Make sure you're switching up your attack strategy depending on which resistance he has up!
The second issue we found was that Phase 5 of the Evolved Power buff was not functioning correctly.
Issue: At 0% HP, instead of becoming Enraged, Megatron kind of just... Drops dead. This made the encounter a bit anticlimactic.
Fix: We've made sure Megatron doesn't disappoint with his last hurrah. When he gets low, make sure you're prepared as he could pop off at any moment.
**Side note: If you are defeated during Megatron's final phase, he will NOT regenerate back into Phase 4, but you WILL have to deal with his Phase 5 again on your next attempt.
These fixes have already been applied to the live game, but just to be 100% sure you have all the right data, please make sure you restart your game before the final Megatron encounter. If you have logged in after reading this forum post, you will be fine!
In regards to player compensation, I will talk to the team about that on Monday and we will make sure that everyone that may have been affected receives fair compensation.
Thank you for bearing with us on these issues. I hope everyone is enjoying the new challenges in Map 3 and I look forward to hearing everybody's feedback!
