this is in a greater invasion point too on a limit time this week
Not a bug, a mechanic.
Every time the victim is damaged in this way, they lose 10% of their maximum health for 20 sec.
It’s a tank-swap mechanic: you take 10 hits from that attack and your maximum health is reduced by 100%, which means you’re down to just 1 health. And then you take a minor hit and die.
The answer, as you figured out, is to kill the boss before that stacks up very high. And the only safe way is to do this on a 70.
No its definitely a bug had a player say the same thing when watching me fight it solo it never done any of that when i was soloing ive even come close to down it when suddenly i got ine shot ive even looked at the recap and it wasnt doing that much damage to me or did the Drain buff you mentioned
