What Big Teeth + Moonlight Bracers

[jiminee]

Description:
The text for Moonlight Bracers specifically states "...if you have a weapon in play, it gains +1 durability". Now, we all know that What Big Teeth doesn't have durability to begin with. So, my initial thought was that it's working as intended when the bracers didn't add a durability to WBT after it got destroyed.

The scenario, however, piqued my curiosity. So, I did a test to verify something. I assumed that Moonlight Bracer worked with any other hero weapon so I opted not to test those. Since only the Wulven and Rogue have class-specific weapons, I tried out Throwing Knife. Lo and behold, (a stolen) Moonlight Bracers added 1 durability to the Throwing Knife when it got destroyed. This doesn't happen with White Big Teeth, which just remains at 0 durability.


Version: Test Server v1.611
P.S. I did a quick search on JIRA and current bug reports but couldn't find anything similar to this. I believe this inconsistency is still present in the current version of the game.


Steps to Reproduce:
Play Moonlight Bracers with both What Big Teeth and Throwing Knife.


TL;DR: Moonlight Bracers is inconsistent, particularly with class-specific weapons (e.g. What Big Teeth and Throwing Knife). It works with the latter (and other weapons), but not with WBT.

WBT does not have zero durability. It does not have any durability number at all. This means that it is not subject to any durability-altering effects, as it has no durability to be affected. This also has the intended consequence of making WBT a weapon that lasts forever unless it is destroyed by an external effect.

I was informed that WBT may have been coded to have a hidden but extremely high durability. Hence Bracers may have added an extra durability but nonetheless becomes immaterial.

Someone should test it with Gravebone!

Check the card list to find out what WBT's durability is. . I just saw that recently.

It's easier to code 999 or 9999 rather than 'infinity'

Wow, but if they will eventually break, wouldn't it be a bug?

Someone should test to see if they can break WBT. With Speed Strike you only need roughly 504 turns or so. Just keep attacking an opponent's gargoyle.

Yeah, just CP it beforehand...

Surely 2 tenacious millstalker players should have been matched up against each other in the past?
