1. Sometimes I already raised my shield and the animation is already up but I still get damaged by monsters and bullets that are quite close to me. Is this a bug or is it because the bullet and monster attacks are all ready inside the shield?
2. My Nightblade doesn't do bonus damage to the Jelly Minis in RJP (only the last attack) and the bonus damage animation isn't up. Is this a bug?
3. My Fireburst Brandish does bonus damage to the Jellies in RJP when charged(only on charge). Is this a bug?
2. It does this all the time when I go to RJP with the first two attack doing normal damage but the last attack doing bonus damage. Nightblade is a shadow sword so it should do bonus damage with all the strikes to the Jelly Minis which is weak to shadow.
3. Charging a Fireburst Brandish which deals elemental damage should not do any bonus damage (shown by yellow stars when you attack) to a Jelly Mini which is weak to shadow.
2: I noticed this too My Faust dosnt deal extra damage to the minies either.
3: wierd.. the jellies are weak to shadow.. not elemental..
1. Yes its lag. And after one of the updates it became very noticeable. Like, if I put my shield up later than 0.5 second before being hit (sometimes 1 second is minimum), I still get damaged.
2. Jelly Minis in royal palace get proper damage, yet it doesn't show its "critical" damage. But the value that pops up shows same number as when I hit other jellies. Its animation bug.
3. I think Jellies originally had elemental weakness (who would have expected jelly to be vulnerable to fire??), but then were changed to shadow (curse the jelly so it melts??).
My personal opinion.
For number 1. : basically it could be some lagginess and you might not be in the area of where Spiral knights was developed... that happens to me as i am way 1/2 way around the world away from America. Its lag...
2. : LAG
3. : usually charging a weapon does greater damage and even some side effects... check the weaknesses of monsters on the wiki
