Hello,
since the Renegades expansion, I have noticed consistent difficulty and, in some cases, a complete inability to stun Barrier Champions, even when using weapons and effects that should work correctly.
I have performed many tests and combinations. Below are some specific examples.
Mataiodoxía
Only about 1 out of 20 times, a single Arcane Needle successfully stuns the champion.
8 out of 10 times, 2 Arcane Needles are required to stun the champion.
2 out of 10 times, all 3 Arcane Needles are required to both stun and suspend the champion.
Using an Arcane Needle to become Radiant does not allow weapons to stun the Barrier Champion.
Wish-Ender
Completely ineffective against Barrier Champions.
Arbalest
Only effective with precision hits.
Revision Zero
100% effective in sniper mode.
In standard mode, rarely effective and only with precision hits.
In standard mode, often completely ineffective.
Eriana’s Vow
Effective only after 3 or more consecutive precision hits; otherwise, the champion appears immune.
Praxic Blade
Fully effective.
Sniper Rifles
Effective only with precision hits; sometimes multiple consecutive precision hits are required.
Additional notes
Deterministic Chaos and The Lament: not yet tested.
Hand Cannons: completely ineffective.
Being Radiant does not appear to help in any way.
Tracking projectiles: not tested.
Overall, this behavior feels highly inconsistent and does not align with the expected Barrier Champion stun mechanics.
Thank you for your time.
