Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

Ok, I give. I cant figure it out. Upon clicking, I expect flaming death to shoot out. Which it does...when nothing else is around.
However, in combat it works for a few seconds then sputters out! Sometimes it still does damage to those around it. Sometimes it just stops working. Then, a bit later it starts up again! Sometimes for a while, sometimes for a second or two.

Is there something I am missing? Does taking damage somehow bork it? Does it poop out after dealing a certain amount of damage? Im confused.

As far as i know only the animation is bugged ... the aoe dmg should still be active though

Mainly appears when moving...

Does not deal damage in melee range, combine it with the hold skill if you want to deal damage to a hero.

Which spell are you talking about? Echo? Dengeration? not sure what you mean....

If you hold 'alt' while corona is active, you'll notice the damage is dealt (where the ring of fire is) regardless of the animation's presence.

Yeah, the animation is bugged, mainly when there's a lot of other "stuff" on the screen. There is a ring around the hero where the fire doesn't do any damage, but it always works for the duration.

Molten Prison, Validus' Innate.

Lol, thought he was talking about Chrona as in TC,

I am talking about Corona. The ultimate ability of the Emberwraith fire dude. (guess I shoulda said that up front...

I have held down alt. Sometimes it burns even when the animation is gone. But I swear sometimes I hold alt and NOTHING seems to be getting damaged, even 5 seconds into it.

Maybe cuz I was looking at foes that were closer to me and thus unaffected. I think Deker is on the right track. Ill recheck it.

Trust me I've tested it a lot using alt. (and I hold alt for like half a normal eota game in general)

It's hard to actually watch units' damage over time, but I'm positive it works correctly as far as the damage goes.

Ok. Thanks for the replies!

instead of holding alt you can just set the game to always show health bars. At least that has been an option for quite a while. I started doing that for DotA so I didn't have to hesitate before deciding on whether I could kill a hero with a long cool down spell.

I find a focus in his prison cage talent (forgot the name) as well as a high lvl corona, and maybe some added intelligence, to be a very nasty combo.
