Summarize your bug This GAC matchup I have an opposing SLKR who when I see him in the menu he has zero protection left. When I start the match suddenly he has 50% of it back and I can’t find anything in hit kit or online to explain why he suddenly has all this protection back
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Fight kylo in gac? Idk how common it is

Here’s a before and after starting battle, where he somehow gets 50% of his empty protection back before taking a single turn

@Nagisa47 If he has 100k base max protection, then he gains 70k (10% x 7) from the Galactic Legend unique, for a total of 170k.

When you are re-entering the battle after removing all his protection in the previous attempt, he will be at 70k/170k protection, or 41%

@Nagisa47 Hey, this should be working as expected. Slkr unique “Galactic Legend” grants him +10% max protection per relic level.
Since unique bonuses are applied at the beginning of the round, when the battle starts the game looks at his base max protection, and adds a % on top of that. For protection, gains like that appear like a “heal.”

[Nagisa47]

So why when nihilus gains max HP from annihilate during the match does his actual % hp not go up? He can gain 100k HP but if he’s at 50% he stays at 50%
also this kylo is r7 so shouldn’t it be 70% not 50% he’s getting back?

Protection and health max increases work a little differently if I recall.

Protection takes track of how much protection is missing, then when you increase it subtracts that same amount from the new max. So you are effectively gaining protection.

The consensus with Nihilus for a long time was that your max increases but your % stays the same...I'm not sure if people have worked out now that that's not actually true. In any case, I think it does work differently than protection.

[Nagisa47]

Well In that case shouldn’t he be gaining 70%? It looks like 50% not 70% like what he should be getting if that’s the case
