Bug on flying heroes

[Tigrezno]

Most of the time they don't auto attack with their ranged basic ability.

[Honorable_D]

They don't attack enemies underneath them. Not a bug.

I was searching for this.
What is "underneath" because a lot of the time it feels like they don't attack at all...
I don't really understand the meaning of this, it makes them very hard to manipulate...

It's where you click to move, which you can also see as a faint oval shadow on the floor below("south" of your hero).

No, he's right, there's an issue with flying heroes at the moment.

They don't attack anything under them, that is normal, they sometimes just don't attack at all, which is not.

I take Ashbite and put him into a corner above a tower, he will fire at practically everything in that bend, basic attacks included ; put him near a straight road or an intersection and he will stop basic attacks, only using his skills.

Not sure what triggers it, but sometimes his basic attack range is fine, other times his basic attacks are completely switched off, even if you try to manually place him into a position where he could be easily attacking from.

I noticed this myself. It happens with Boneheart also.

[Buzzsaw]

Seems to happen more with Ashbite than Boneheart though.

So there IS a bug, God I'm relieved.
So...?

[Linio]

I tried and it's indeed a bug, and annoying at that.
Could this be fixed please?

Flying heroes have a very wonky attack range. I get the impression that the range is approximately only to their left and right, not down or up (by screen position). It's difficult to say whether it's a bug or not, but I do think their default attack range at the very least needs to be displayed clearly in the UI.

Bonehart's skill set makes his range very wide, so the issue's not as noticeable as Ashbite, who is currently among my least used heroes because of the sheer difficulty of positioning him.

Good to see I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I really do think this is a bug. Because depending on how you put hime, it will or won't fire, even if it's at the same distance. I don't think this is intended, I mean, even if it's a low ranged hero, it should fire when being close, what it doesn't necessarily do...

[Linio]

With the patch this is not fixed...!

We haven't changed these heroes in the last update.

What you mention seems like how they are designed to work and not a bug. They are a little bit tricky to place, because they don't fire beneath or above them. Their range is like the sides of a ring.

In any case, we'll keep your feedback in mind if we decide to change them.
Thanks for your feedback!

[Linio]

It's not a case of firing above or under, they don't fire in certain situaton where the enemies are neither under or above them. I don't play anymore, so it does not matter much to me, but that ressemble a bug to be honest, you should look into it.

Great game otherwise.

I use bonehart and thought it was a bug too but then I used ashbite he also had the "bug" but then noticed flying enemies did that not a bug
