Tidehunter & Battlefury bug replay.

Tidehunter & Battlefury bug replay.

Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:43 pm

I played a 1v1 game with my friend on -aremom, and I got Tidehunter. Long story short, at one point i made Battlefury on him. That had a very strange effect. Namely, when I ordered him to attack a unit, Anchor Smash would ALWAYS activate, like it had a 100% chance of activating, and not only 20%. Heres a replay to prove it. Please comment.

I have not checked the replay, but Bfury changes his attack animation ( like lucifer )

Not a bug. Bfury changes the attack animation of certain heroes - tidehunter included. Play a test game and put bfury on yunero and earthshaker - you'll see a change as well. There are 1 or 2 others I think but those are the only other ones I can think of now. It just so happens that the changed animation for tidehunter is the same as his anchor smash. This doesn't mean that you get 100% anchor smash, nor that you don't hav it anymore. It's just not as obviously when it does happen.

I'm guessing you're still fairly new to DotA if you don't know about this. Don't worry, you'll learn.

Battlefury does this with a bunch of heroes. Try getting it on Juggernaut, Axe, or EarthShaker. Anchor Smash doesn't always activate, what happens is (as mentioned) the attack animation changes. Sometime you will be hitting with only the cleaving damage (35% of normal attack damage i think?) and you will have the chance to hit anchor smash as well, which is better than cleave unless you have like.. 400+ damage per attack, or 3 battlefurys stacked, or something ridiculous.

For Yurnero, it looks like he's always hitting his crits, Axe looks like he's always CB'ing without the big flash of light, and ES looks like he's doing enchant totem, but with a cool ground animation. it affects other heroes too.

This is not a bug. Battlefury will change Tide's animation so it look slike he is always triggering Anchor Smash. However, if you check the damage, he is not. Anchor Smash will still work as normal except you won't know when it triggers because you will always have the same animation. Rephrased, Anchor Smash will still trigger and extra damage will be splashed in addition to your normal damage.

it's cool, you learn things every day, now what I recommend is go choose every hero and see if battlefury changes their animation, some have a really cool new animation

es has a pretty awesome gorund pound with the aftershock effect but a different color, tide looks like he's a ballerina always dancing

I like pitlord animation with battlefury.. It has this glow that's like a light saber. Pretty sweet looking if you ask me.
