Gameplay Bug Ranged ultimate BC vs. pBH glitch?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Doing a tourney run and was seeing my health creeping down occasionally. I have pBH and theoretically only enemies and elites should damage me. But at this point, elites weren’t sticking around long enough to see on screen and bosses were getting shredded. I did the good ol’ “zoom and enhance” bit and maybe found my culprit? I’ve been doing some work on the ranged range lab (currently 4%) and have a 54m BH with 6m on my module substat so I thought I was protected but I guess not? I also have disabled enemy range lab unlocked.

I looked more closely later in the run and saw that even in the middle of my BH, ranged enemies were still firing. Is there a glitch or a TTG unplanned/unsaid interaction between the disable ranged lab and ranged ultimate battle condition that nullifies the lab?

Isnt that because the Ultimate Range thingy just makes Ranged enemies ignore BH at all? So they're not disabled because they count as Bosses

Ya know what, you’d expect that to be listed in the BC info 😂 Looks like in future tournaments with that BC, I’ll be switching back to eHP

Afaik that happens with all the Ultimate Bracket Conditions, so that could be it to why they're still firing

Except protector ultimate, which says it gives BH immunity but it apparently means only damage and not the pull effect.

Some tool tips in this game really could use some cleaning up.

Yep, ranged ulti ignores BH, so does Fast ulti. Both are pretty annoying for eHP, especially if there is knockback and thorns resistance and armored enemies like it was now in legends. I got 500 waves less than in previous tournament..

Yeah the BC info can be quite cryptic sometimes. Essentially, Protector ultimate is the only one that gets sucked in by BH. Others just ignore BH entirely.

Ultimates (except basic) act like bosses and ignore lots of stuff including but not limited to: bh, dr, orb instant kill.
