Alien Hunters + Reaper's Banish Bug

[JayRob]

The Reaper ability "Banish", which has you fire your entire magazine at an enemy until they die or you run out of ammo, doesn't seem to function correctly with the Alien Rulers.

I had my Reaper use this ability on the Archon Ruler and the Archon got a "Ruler Reaction" after the first shot and my Reaper never fired any additional shots even though they had the ammo to do so, effectively canceling the ability out.

Strange, I recently used Banish on the Viper King, it did work fine (2 shots as I had 2 ammo), both shots did hit. Did your first(and only) shot hit or miss ?

I think that just the archon ruler is tad bugged.

I used the mine-banish move on the berserker ruler when he first turned up and left him on very low HP. Grenadier threw a freeze nade and then someone shot him dead. Was pretty nice TBH.

When the archon ruler turned up I used freeze nade and it only froze him for 1 action(when i chain shot). He then moved and also did his blazing pinions move. I moved 1 guy out of the aoe and then boom everyone took damage.

Yeah, the first shot hit. Could be just the Archon King is bugged.

Yeah, could be just the Archon King. I had the same thing happen with the freeze nade.

It's extremely OP to do banish with a superior extended mag, with the other ability that makes you shoot at other dudes too, I can kill a sectopod and usually another dude in attack, and against the archon ruler, I got him under 50% the first encounter, then just invisible hunted him down the next time and he never got an attack in.

Does anyone know if Needle works with on Banish if started in Shadow?

Lol commenting on something from years ago. from what I remember it does combo together, but haven't played in a long time, but as I said you can kill sectopods with extended mag banish, probably had banish i would assume as its a pretty good skill regardless
