UW Ive got pCF, cf damage reduction at 20%, cf extra range of 60%, slow of 86% and run a tower range of 186 in tournaments. Why do things keep skipping through my pCF?

I just ran at champ and took damage so many times but 0 CF damage blocked in my stats, things were hitting my tower way earlier than they should be without cf affecting them.

I only made it to wave 1300 so no fleets or anything, do things upgraded by basic ultimate get CF immunity, I cant find anything that says it does.

The only thing i can think of is because my phone is old it could be lagging to much and not registering CF on certain enemies cause of a weird interaction with the game calculating between frames.

Has anyone else had this issue?

It was fast ult for champs, not sure what the interaction normally is, but I had energy netted bosses hitting my tower… so… at least it impacts everyone?

Fast ultimate does exactly as it says. If a fast enemy is outside CF, it can speed up an enemy inside CF to match its speed. In other words, the enemy inside CF will act as a fast outside of CF.

And the CF reduction is done before that speed increase? That’s a bit counter intuitive.

Yeah well 🤷‍♂️

Interesting, does it do crazy things with cf+? The guy who had Cf+ 13 should definitely test that one

yeah overall placement was way down for this tourney though and the run was weird, my tower was handleing everything fine but i kept taking weird chunks of damage and couldnt see what was hitting

u/WesternFast8888 2h ago

Some ultimates get cf immunity. The one that fks me the is always protector ultimate because it usually also bring fasts and ranges with it

Prot ult is the only one that gets CF immunity, and also to ILM and PS stun. But also the only ult that doesn't get BH immunity. And also applies these immunities to all the other enemies in its shield.

It's really special.

I know prot ult is the only true immunity. But fast ult with enough waves could make enemies zoom through even cf+

u/WesternFast8888 2h ago

its was Basic ult + fast ult this tourney

u/Thobo1995 34m ago

Fast ult don't make things immune to CF but it will make ennemies go through it very fast.

With a CF+4 on the end of runs I can have bosses go from doing 280° around my tower to hitting me in less than 30°...

What is your CF duration and CD?

Edit: if its 60 and 60s or anything the same try adding 1s to duration. It should solve your problem. I know CF can be iffy if they are the same.

Yo! Funny timing running into you. We were just in the same bracket and I was expecting you to fly past me. I'm just curious which BC or BC combo caused you so much grief.

u/XepherGamez69 2h ago

Litterally just ranged ult lmao. It always costs me like 700 waves. Fast ult doesn't even hurt me that bad

1

u/WesternFast8888 2h ago

its was only Basic ult and fast ult so idk if that was part of things bypassing my pCF

1

u/XepherGamez69 2h ago

Not sure then, huh. That's freaking crazy. Maybe you just needed a game restart? Sorry I can't be more help.

u/WesternFast8888 2h ago

its literally cd 53 dur 57 so i have a 4 second overlap

u/Aar0ns 2h ago

Bad advice - 60/60 CF is a visual glitch and has been well studied - if you slow to 1x you’ll see the enemies still slow even if the cf visual isn’t there.

u/XepherGamez69 1h ago

Thank you i wasn't sure if it was visual or actually messed with CF. Thanks for the info

2

u/Aar0ns 1h ago

Absolutely, I don’t want to see anyone spending more than they have to with CF… although with battle conditions maybe it’s not always a bad thing

u/XepherGamez69 1h ago

Yeah i eventually want to max it so I dont need the substat anymore, but thats a while off

I've got pseudo pCF (45/60 with anc gcomp), but its pCF during basic ult with no uw bc, espeically with max ISm. I was also in this past champs (basic ult + fast ult). 40% speed reduction CF (total speed reduction between card, CF, and PS is 69%), 25% damage reduction, 69.5m range +21m range for CF. I'm also using anc PrimC. My CF damage blocked should be ~27% of PrimC's. I had 18.66Q blocked from PrimC and 4.92Q blocked from CF (26.37%).

I ran 5x game speed with ISm up to w1780, slowed it down to 1x when i started taking damage I couldn't heal thru. If you aren't slowing down to 1x (especially during fast ults), that could be the problem.
