I just fought an arena team with Palp lead, Nihilus, Sion, DRevan, and BSF. Short story is I landed fear on Nihilus, so he loses a turn. Then his turn comes around again, he uses Drain Force. (I had CBM or Ferocity on everybody so it worked on everybody. Then his very next turn he annihilates. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s only 7 cooldowns removed, not 8. One for his lost turn, then 5 for Drain Force plus the one for the turn he used Drain Force. Annihilate’s cooldown is 8. So, what am I missing?

I've been noticing this too. I swear it's a bug

When this kind of thing happens, 99% of the time it's because you weren't really paying attention because you were watching TV while playing or something and he did take a turn that you just didn't notice.

Am I missing something with Nihilus?

Sounds like an i++ logic error.

CBM is passively applied, not an ability used.

But the first (missed) turn the CD goes to 7, the next turn it goes to 6. Then minus 5 cause drain force, so it's at 1. Next turn it's at zero, so ready to use (and he does).

That's how cooldown works, is it not? Look at Sabine's special (with CD 2), you can use that every other turn.

One thing to look out for is Traya using the Isolate ability. Even if she can't apply Isolate (because of CBM) she can still reduce cooldowns by 1.

I use this on my Arena team to Annihilate against DR teams the EXACT same way you described.
