Savage Opress overpower ability not working as intended on Nihilus.

What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug Savage Opress's "Overpower" ability is supposed to do 99999 damage to a target when less than half health. This does not occur when used on a Nihilus after he has gained max health through annihilate once under 50% health threshold.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a test match with a Nihilus on the opposing team and allow it to annihilate a character. Then get said Nihilus just below 50% health ( yellow bar range ). Once this is done, have Savage Opress use Overpower on the Nihilus. It is important to not get the Nihilus below 50% of his original max health when testing to confirm the legitimacy of the bug, just 50% of the new max health.

I was in a Grand Arena match using a Traya lead that included Nihilus against another Traya lead that included Nihilus. My Nihilus was annihilated, thereby increasing the opposing Nihilus by my Nihilus's max health. Later on in the battle I got the opposing Nihilus under 50% health (indicated by the yellow bar). I used Savage's overpower but instead of doing 99999 damage it did somewhere around 7000. I believe this happened because Savage's "Overpower" ability seems to be based on the opposing characters starting max health instead of inflated current max health from abilities.

    Hi there, thanks for the report. This is working as intended because of the Fearsome Foe ability that raid bosses have. It makes them immune to massive damage effect, and Savage Opress's "Overpower" ability deals massive damage.

    Hi, the OP does state that this was in Grand Arena, it is not in a raid where nihilus would have fearsome foe ability

    Apologies I misread the post the first time ☹️

    I tested the same scenario reported above in Squad Arena and didn't manage to repro. Enemy Nihilus had annihilated one of the characters in my team (I confirmed he had plenty of Max Health gained by that point), then I brought enemy Nihilus just a bit below 50% Health and used my Savage Overpower on enemy Nihilus and it did massive damage.

    A video would help investigate further if you re-encounter this situation. Maybe enemy Nihilus recovered Health from buffs prior to using Overpower on him?

    Nihilus had not gained health from buffs on him. My overpower is omegad for reference. The interaction may be more specific than I thought and thus harder to replicate. My Nihilus had annihilated the opposing Sion ( increasing my Nihilus's max health pool) prior to being annihilated by the opposing Nihilus ( now increasing health pool effectively by my Nihilus and his Sion. In that regard it may be a very specific bug in regards to recalculating max health after the multiple annihilates, I'm not sure. If I do get into another match like that I will record just in case.
