Ability Stacking

Hi there, @SeaZop 

When abilities have the same effects, the highest is used. They won't stack.

This is interesting. I've noticed that different abilities seem to kick in on the same shots. For instance, I believe butterfly effect can trigger on one-timed shots. Would that mean, then, that having a gold ability that triggers on one-timers would render silver no-timer pointless if used in combination with a gold ability that triggers on one-timers?

I suppose what I'm trying to figure out is, would it make more sense to use abilities that dont trigger in similar scenarios as they only the highest ability would actually trigger, and rather use a more varied set of abilities that wouldn't cancel each other out?

It depends what attributes they boost. In the case of CQ/MiS, they both boost shot power and accuracy so the higher modifier is chosen.

In this example does that mean something like Butterfly Effect and Lightwork would be similar effects and only 1 would work if the snap/wrist shot is a low shot? Would it be allowed to release a list of % boosts per ability? This would help with a lot of the confusion i think

@FourZeroVI 

I don't have all those numbers unfortunately. The best I can tell you is that if they affect the same attributes, the higher modifier is chosen.

understandable, the only other question I personally have on this then is, that it seems like certain animations become "unlocked" (for lack of a better term) by using an ability, are you able to confirm if that is true or not? and if so what abilities have animations attached to them, if possible

@FourZeroVI 

Those would be Athleticism and All or Nothing.

What do you mean by athleticism? That’s not an ability I notice in WOC. 

@FourZeroVI 

Apologies. Contortionist and All or Nothing both have an animation.

Do non goalie perks grant animations? I think I noticed one while using Ice pack in elims the other day.

The only additional animations are the 2 I mentioned.
