[BUG] Shroom heal not working sometimes

[Kiesley]

Quite often Shroom's basic heal (default Q keybind) will simply not work when pressed. It will not be on cooldown and it just won't work when I switch to her and press Q. The icon will be filled the way abilities look when they are ready to be used but pressing the button will yield no action from Shroom. No other characters have had this issue/behavior occur. Keep in mind her heal ability works as expected a lot of the time as well, so I am familiar with using it. But sometimes it won't work. Also the AI will not be using it either when this bug happens (sometimes for the duration of a whole floor or bossfight), and randomly it will start working again usually in a new area. Anyone else get this bug?

You have to charge it my dude.

You do need to make sure to get kills to get souls, the heals require a soul to heal (it's the number on her picture at the top right).

I have found that it is REALLY easy to heal the wrong thing, I often heal myself instead of my friend when we're too close. I think I even healed a turret once instead of my friend lol I'm not sure if that's possible or possibly the issue you're having as I went to heal him and saw the soul count go do but neither of healed.

First of all its not like I have never used it, I have used it many times. So I know you can charge it, but you don't need to charge it, especially at close range. Also charging it has an animation, so something would be happening when I press Q or hold Q, but the issue is sometimes nothing happens at all. The AI would know to charge it if that mattered and even the AI won't use it for the duration of a full floor sometimes. So your answer is really well thought out man, thanks!

I don't find it that difficult to heal the correct target, that is not the issue I am having. The issue is the ability shows as ready but does not work sometimes, no animation or anything. I did not realize there is a soul stock or whatever you are describing maybe that could explain the issue I am having. But if the icon for the ability is filled up I assumed that means it is ready, sometimes I can use her heal multiple times in a row. As for killing enemies to get souls, I think I have had the issue occur in situations where I am killing many enemies throughout the duration of an entire floor. Does Shroom herself have to get the last hit? Keep in mind I have Shroom as an AI controlled character most of the time.

Yeah I had not noticed the soul stocks mechanic. Guess I am just dumb, but I usually had AI controlling Shroom and it usually wastes stocks which explains a lot. After investigating a couple runs I found the issue was not having stocks, Shroom herself needs to get the last hit it would seem to get stocks (every 10 kills).
