I am currently not running a bulwark or any acillated bots. I have not really noticed whether the yellow shield from blitz blocks leeching, but I have noticed that the lance’s physical shield blocks it.
can anyone share their experience of what all prevents leeching?
- physical shield: yes, damage is absorbed by shield before being taken by the bot.
- damage resistance: ?
- yellow energy shield: ?
- blue energy shield: ?
- purple princess shield: ?
I have remained locked while cloaked in an Au Jun. Can leech lock a bot that is already cloaked?

Well, a dead Leech stops the ability. I know that for sure.
Anyway, I have not been able to lock my ability onto a bot that is in stealth prior to me activating my ability.
Phase Shift does not stop lock on but stops the drain.
Purple Shield....nada, does not work. That Greek bot is dead.
Blue and Yellow. Nope. Does not work. The bot is dead.
Damage resistance seems to work, but I do not know 100% for sure.

Is that true? Physical shield blocks Repulse? I guess that means it blocks the lock on?
How could this be, when the ability goes through walls?

Physical shield absorbs damage from repulse before the bot starts taking damage. I have killed 2 leaches today with a lance by taking the repulse on my shield while it was shooting another bot and then killing it after repulse dropped. |

Maybe I will have a hangar full of Lances tonight.  |

Maybe I will have a hangar full of Lances tonight. I started running them when the ghost skill came out. They are faster then fenrir and have all weapons available all the time. I find calamity scourge does pretty well against dragons as well as tanks. Now I find that it also does okay versus leech because of the range and physical shield. |

Leech redirect is blocked by physical shields?  How have I not heard this before, how does it work - do you have to face the shield so it’s between you and the Leech? Do they pop off as it drains? God I hope this isn’t a troll thread. |

God I hope this isn’t a troll thread. I don't understand your confusion. The physical shield works like a physical shield, same as always. However, unlike ember, blaze, etc. redirect does not appear to bypass the shield. |

However, unlike ember, blaze, etc. redirect does not appear to bypass the shield. Because it bypasses everything else, like walls. It bypasses purple shields and stealth. I just assumed physical shields wouldn’t be an exception. I don’t run anything with shields anymore so am very curious about how it blocks. Does the purple stream need to “hit” the shield and if you turn around does it do direct damage? Pix physics has always been weird so who knows. |

So with all of this shield blocking does that mean that repulse will go through PS and damage the blue that it could hypothetically hit?

PS stops you from taking damage but does not break the lock, so you start getting damage when your PS ends if the leech ability is still going. It’s also been confirmed you take damage during stealth if you get locked on before you go into stealth. It can’t initially lock on during stealth unless the leech uses Quantum Radar. |

Not what I meant. Does leach damage pass through ps and then can still deal damage to a red it hits afterwards . |

 - Repulse ignores ALL shields. It may seem like a physical shield has blocked it but the truth is that the active Leech did not take enough incoming damage to make a significant impact on hp. Things that block Repulse: - Going beyond the tether range - Entering stealth or Phase Shift BEFORE the Leech activates Repulse with you as an attempted target - Identifying the Leech by name and telling friends in voice comms not to shoot them. If an active Leech receives zero incoming damage, it has no damage to transfer - A Leech activating Repulse without selecting a target If you are within range, they select you as a target and activate, and people fire at it, your ONLY defense is to get out of range. |

For a low level Champions League member who has not encountered one so far, like me, can someone explain whether the tether is broken if you walk/jump your bot outside leech's max range? This brings me to my next question, for how long the damage is being received once being targeted: is it that the (90% of) damage being absorbed by the leech for the duration of its ability is delivered at once, or continuously in the course, or some other, more complex mechanic in play?

Going beyond range breaks connection While the Leech is activated, 35% of any incoming damage is instantly transferred to its target. If people were firing at it and stop, once the initial damage % was transferred, if there is no further damage there is nothing to transfer |

Targeted a Lancilot while shooting another bot. Both bots felt the need to shoot me. The damage was in fact transfer to the full health Lancilot. |

I had a lance take zero damage from a leech hitting the physical shield twice, so I assumed it was due to the physical shield, but I guess it was good teammates. |

Would anybody at Pixonic read the thread and realize how absolutely idiotic the Leech skill is?
- Through walls but not through physical shield
- Lockon continues despite phase shift or stealth
- Locking on and dealing damage without line of sight
I hope these guys are not working for the Russian army, I've been told there are good camping spots in Syberia reserved especially for idiots that come up with expensive 「dookie」 that fails to deliver in reality...

This is news to me and explains why a leech failed to impress my bulga. Another reason to build Tyr.
Still I reckon a heavily DR'd quad medium is dangerous, because it is.

Have you tried to UNINSTALL?
This might help against the leech, and maybe also accelerate the departure for Pixonic’s long deserved camping trip to Siberia.
