Valkyr warcry augment [Eternal War] limited time limit when used for allies?
I tried it many times testing just that in public missions and it is always the same :

My team seems to have a limit to how much I can extend the timer of the warcry duration for them when Eternal War is in action. I tried it against many factions thinking nullifiers were at work or line of sight/proximity of kill was required or even changing weapons or entering Hysteria, and it’s always the same.

The most drastic example was yesterday when I used it in plague star event at the infested nest. No line of sight blockers, everyone in area, I buffed everyone up and after some time the timer would just not go up for them while mine was always there. In a single slide attack my timer went from 12 seconds to 56 seconds while my teammate’s timer was just counting down. And as far as I know, no infested can remove buffs like that.

The wiki does not say anything about a limit to allies and even states the opposite : that you can cast warcry and keep it indefinitely due to Eternal War even if you are at the other side of the map.

So I ask, is it intended ? Or am I missing something ? Or is it a bug ?

"Kills extend the active duration of Warcry up to a maximum of double the ability's duration after mods."

That only means that if my warcry is maxed at 15 seconds duration without Eternal War, then with Eternal War on the timer limit will be 30 sec. It does not states anything about allied buffs. That and if that quote was to be taken that way, then I will have to recast it due to Eternal War ending even on my side.

I got this happening to me too when using Eternal War in Onslaught. I kill non-stop to keep the timer up. But at random for other players, who happen to sometimes move far away from me for a while but later come back in range, their timer does not go back up for them. They did not enter a nullifier bubble, they did not fall off the map.It just stops working.

So creating a big distance from Valkyr tends to "break" the counter. This is a bug. Only when they stay within my affinity range at all times does this not happen.

  • The effect of Warcry may end even when there is still time left on the ability, forcing the player to avoid getting melee kills to recast the ability.
