temporal modulator not working?

[Zunymitshu]

the 'time modulate' thing pops up but the enemy still attacks me first. I'm using it on a squad with siege cannons, is the issue that they spend the first turn loading their guns?

Siege cannons don't counter attack at all on the defensive unless I'm mistaken.

Correct, cannons can't fire on the defense regardless of who goes first. The Modulator is working, it just doesn't matter for cannons.

I have had it not work myself. However, it says "Modulator Overload" when it does it. No cannons obviously. I don't have it down, but I suspect you can only counter first X amount of times before it stops working.

It can activate 3 times per phase, if I recall from the patch notes.

Ahh. I must have missed that then. Glad that solves that issue. Thanks!

Brutal but necessary nerf, still likely the best artefact in the game but means you can't send a single squad to just obliterate 12 enemy units via counters.

Also keep in mind that it doesn't work when ambushed!
