So, this was an issue way back in R93 or R94. When enemies came down from a successful Rocketman skill, strike tiles wouldn't apply to the damage.

Well, it's happening again. First noticed in today's DDQ command point fight. Hoping to get this noticed before the next update.

    Hey there Zeroborn, thanks for making mention of this. I have yet to see similar reports as of yet from other players and so our team has very little data to go on aside from when this problem had last occurred. So aside from Nova, can you recall who else was on your team? Can you recall the team your opponent was using?

    I think it's actually supposed to do that although nothing in the power description says so

    This happened to me just now in shield simulator. Peggy, Rhulk, and Nova (275, 5/5/3) vs Dr Doom, Cap, and Hulk. Damage to Hulk in screenshot matches rocket man text exactly http://i.imgur.com/QZJ0B5M.jpg, seemingly ignoring the strike tiles on the board.

    I've noticed nova will ignore OML strike tiles and only seems to count his own for the power switch.

    I use Nova regularly along with PunMax and 3 Strange and notice this regularly.

    Hey Guys, it seems that the team is currently investigating this issue. I'll let you know once we have more information on what's going on.

    apparently it's not that it should do that it's that it was one of many bugs that were noticed when the character originally launched

    Immediately after landing. 10560-4618=5942. The skill did exactly base damage, ignoring strikes. Strike damage was not added to the skill's damage.
