Small annoyance with waspinator

Just a little beef with how his resistance debuffs work, and I'm hoping @Kabam Vydious and @Kabam Miike might take this to the team.
His resistance debuffs are delayed, which is fine because it plays into his s1... But... The annoyance of them that once you land the initial debuff whether it be from basic ranged or Heavy attacks, you can't land more until they expire.
This often creates a disadvantageous situation where you land a heavy attack, trigger resistance debuff while charging an S1.
You back off to pew pew with basic ranged to set up a dash in combo with s1, but the basic ranged wil not land more debuffs even though the max is capped at 3.
By the time you dash in and want to end with a special, the original debuff is gone and you lose the extra damage potential on the S1 if you throw it.
It's just weird. And if you decide to hold your special and launch a heavy again, you create a circular pattern of never being able to launch that S1 at full potential.
Why can't the resistance debuffs stack while one is currently counting down, and can it be fixed?

However, if you stack a resistance debuff on with a heavy, you can still stack on resistance debuffs with basic ranged. I was able to do this. I tacked on one with heavy and while it was active, hit the bot with three ranged and got the three green circles that turned into four red after activation (though the four was short lived since the heavy resistance debuff was almost expiring when the basic ones activated).
Same in the other direction, I had two basic ranged resistance debuffs activated and added a heavy resistance debuff for a total of three. Again, short lived since the basic ones were expiring by the time I got the heavy on there.
So it seems it just the basic ranged resistance debuff you need to wait for to expire even though it’s less than the three max for basic. I don’t see why you would have to wait, but looks like that’s they way Kabam made it. And I’m pretty sure they’re not going to change it anytime soon.
It works really well.
Thanks for not understanding the focus of the thread and posting what only works in easy fights.
When you have to adapt in the fly because of hyper twitchy AI at extreme difficulty, you'll understand the problem at hand, and why not being able to plant new debuffs before the old ones expire is a problem.
It would mess up the sp3 mechanic wouldn't it? If you could land 3 debuffs and then begin to stack another 2 or 3, the countdown would would run out and you could potentially end up with anywhere between 5-7 debuffs
I understood, I just meant I use that strategy and I can completely ignore the problems you’ve mentioned above.
You are the expert
Plus, I just really like Waspinator.
When I started playing a little over a year ago Waspinator was my go to bot in all missions he was just a 3* but amazing 😉
Now that 4*s and 5*s are obtainable lol 😂 maybe I’ll get my 4* Waspinator up sometime although I’ve kinda gone towards a G1 Autobot team focusing around this guy
Bumblebee makes up for waiting till player lvl 40 to get my 1st 4* lol 😂
My 1st 4* was Ramjet lol 😂
