Can’t die effects vs. alt death conditions

#1 Post by Snarvid »

What happens when a “this character can’t die until X happens, even if they normally would” effect hits a “this character dies when Y happens, even if they normally wouldn’t” effect? The concrete case I’m specifically thinking of is Temporal Hounds Temporal Vigor effect, where counts can survive extra turns below 0 hp, running into Attenuate’s “die when below a certain hp threshold” effect, but there are other interactions that would be useful to know about at the same time (Blurred Mortality or Heroism, for example).

Attenuate kills through heroism and other die_at, it justs straight up kill you, not deal damage. If you're below 20% max hp it's bye bye.

and hounds are just immune to damage with temporal vigour, not invulnerable, so they should die from instakills too.
I write guides and make addons too now, apparently

You can go here for a compilation of everything I wrote, plus some other important stuff!

Includes general guides (inscriptions, zone, prodigies), and class guides (Demo, Anorithil, Bulwark, Zerker, Sblade)

Yep, execution effects ignore die_at so far as I know. It's part of why Swallow and Attenuate are so excellent, because you can completely negate a vampire's 2500 points of negative health with one chompy boi.
