Overload Sword not working on Champs

[Skyward]

Before you ask, yes I have the relic mod activated but its still not stunning overload champs. Is anyone else having the same issue?
Updated: Im only have the issue with the Kells, not the Minotaurs. Also Im being told that swords are busted and not working as intended versus this unit can anyone confirm?

Are you using The Lament perhaps? It is anti-Barrier so can't gain the effect of Overload Sword.

No its just a normal legendary sword. I'm using light attacks and when I hit the overload champ it does nothing, and the champ just teleports constantly.

Ah weird. Overloads have always been temperamental unfortunately.
Which activity was it in, specifically?

Second thought, were you Radiant at the time?

Do you hit it just once or multiple times? The mod says you need consecutive hits.

afaik, radiant wont overwrite any champion mods on the artifact.

I tried to stun an overload with a sword (ergo sum and heavy sword) on the current lost sector on the cosmodrome and it seems to be working for me, allthough I rather use something else to stun overloads when some of them porting around 24/7 with no cooldown whatsoever (fallen overloads specifically).

But yeah as mentioned above and the artifact description, you have to hit multiple times to stun them.

Overload sword is awful. You need to land multiple hits for the overload function to activate, and with Overloads teleporting, you'll probably whiff and fail to build up the function.

Just use something else.

Is this an actual teleport ability the Champion has? Or do you mean the glitch-teleport which isn't supposed to be happening? Been seeing this a lot lately since TFS hit. Mainly Enemies are glitch-teleporting to the location the game has told them to move towards, like an objective.

The fallen overload captain has such ability. One of them is in the current lost sector on the cosmodrome, starter area.

Enemies glitch-porting around wasn't since TFS, it was pretty much always a thing.

Its the Kell inside the lost sector, he blink teleports constantly and when I finally hit him with my sword he doesn't stop or get stunned, he just keeps teleporting away while attacking.

I don't have the same issues with the overload minotaurs, just the Kells that constantly blink away while simultaneously attacking.

No, they work as intended. It's just as was stated above, swords are probably the worst option to pick vs overloads. Like I haven't even selected the 'overload sword' mod on my artefact as pretty much every other method for stunning overloads is better than trying to get into melee with them.

Worst...Right. It takes me like 3 hits to stun them with sword.

Try it with the overload Kell. I notice the minotaurs stun with relative ease in comparison.

How can it be working as intended when its so inconsistent?
