Shard Of Power vs Contaminated Water

[Archm4ge]

Contaminated Water does not kill off opposing allies affected by Shard of Power. Is this a bug or working as intended?

I dont really understand the logic, if Shard Of Power is considered an injury where u cant heal beyond 1 health... then a contradiction occurs: a lightning strike injured enemy ally with 1 health can be killed off with Contaminated Water.

If Shard Of Power makes your current HP/max HP 1/1, Contaminated Water should be able to kill it off.

It other words, both paths of logic says that it should work.

Heya,

Shard of Power only applies its temporary cap to maximum health after all other temporary stat modifiers have been calculated. As such, what will happen when both Contaminated Water and Shard of Power are in play at the same time is as follows: Contaminated water gives your ally -1 health to determine its current health, and then Shard of Power will enforce its cap and set the maximum health of that ally to 1.

Shard of Power is only putting a cap on your maximum health, but your current health will still be getting calculated in the background. If Shard of Power were to leave play, your ally's health would "spring up" to whatever it's current health is calculated to be.

Hope that helps
