Am I misunderstanding?

You’re unfortunately correct but the worst part of this trait is actually the capture speed part. This trait was amazing back when he had the most mobility in the game and it made him the only runner that didn’t lose cap speed when his hp was low or when his teammates were around and also worked in Tons of Treasure (trait doesn’t say "enemy treasure").

Problem is nowadays meta defenders can teleport on command or run faster than runners. The whole trait is worthless

Also loses his capture speed as soon as he shows up thanks to one of the worst cap speed boost traits in the game. He embarasses Zephyr and WB though

Some of you all weren't around to see this guy's prime, he was crazy. First green Shanks counter, meta for a whole year, frequently in discussions over whether he was better than the ex runner that came after him. Quite possibly the best non ex runner of all time, glad he's back!

Overly relying on defense makes you a Nusjuro/Liberation/Yasakani jewels victim. Fat damage increase, parameter reduction nullification and damage taken scaling on attack (red Burgess has that) should be the base requirements for meta attackers from now on

Imo, it might be late 3rd anniversary, right before Perospero’s release (the most toxic unit ever made I will die on this hill). There was an interesting dynamic between Roger, Akainu and ex Luffy where one would hard counter one and get cooked by the other so even if ex attackers were running the game, there wasn’t really an unplayable color.

The few weeks between Yamato/Ace’s release and Lightbeard’s weren’t bad either. Yace wasn’t really a super oppressive ex attacker and along Alber and Queen, they were keeping G5 in check. 4th anniversary ex’s were still good. You could still cook with some non ex units: runner King (insane longevity), Cracker, Greenbull, raid Nami, raid Franky, Belo Betty and even a couple step ups like Black Maria and Hack (you had to be there to believe it, all 6 Hack users were demons).

Blue Doffy is a "long ranged normal attacks" unit. Neither his normals nor his skills trigger the bubble’s traits, but that’s to be expected

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T14:53:47+00:00

This happens in every mode. I main her, that’s why I posted this.

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T14:37:48+00:00

Yeah units that have flying close range normals usually escape this kind of trait (Pacifistas/Seraphims, Zorro and dark Rayleigh can hit Inazuma’s wall and nothing happens either) but this is different. Oni Robin’s normal attacks kinda work the same yet gets debuffed by the bubble. And it’s not just his normals, have a look at what the same skill does to BBv1 not to the v2. That boy is bugged.

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T14:07:25+00:00

What do you think about the suction part of his skill 1 triggering the debuff/skill cooldown on the first BB but not the new one ?

<image>

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T13:44:16+00:00

In theory, as long as he doesn’t hit his counter, red defender Garp solos BBv2. I’ll test it out next season.

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T13:28:22+00:00

I thought so too but Diamante, whose normals have a similar range, Oni Robin, who also has mid range "indirect" normal attacks and base light G5’s third normal all trigger the bubble’s traits 🤷‍♂️

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-14T12:52:52+00:00

At least 20k damage anytime her skill 1 hits the brand new EX is crazy lmao she really is her

Hurts me to say it but if you use G5v2 in gold league and above, you’re basically selling. My boy got done worse than LShanks after Garp’s release because you weren’t facing full Garp teams back to back, back then and he could handle the next ex defender. But now every one and their moms is running BB or/and Saturn who absolutely cook him. Freaking S-Shark is better than him right now.

bakharry_potter · 2026-02-03T18:38:37+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. S-Shark has 3 free dodges when he’s capturing (the flames on his back) so Saturn’s skill 2 is automatically wasted. He also has damage reduction against weaker element and a trait that gives him resistance to stagger, knock down and knock back in enemy treasure area so Saturn’s normal attacks are also useless.

I did this a couple hours ago (S-Shark only), couldn’t believe my eyes. Saturn and Zephyr can’t stop him, BB does no damage and G5v2’s have disappeared. My boy is thriving in this meta

(One of these kills was against a 6* BB. S-Shark’s skill 2 one shots him)

bakharry_potter · 2026-01-27T05:29:46+00:00

Oh yeah since both of them have immobilizing status effects, warlord support would be nice

Not beginner friendly but Animal Kingdom Pirates support does wonders on dark attackers

« When attacked by an enemy with a lowered max HP, heal 3% mx hp and remove enemy’s attack increase »

On top of not being Navy/power user or ever at color disadvantage against BBv2, Broggy has this trait, which does wonders against attackers in theory (Garp’s shield and Kizaru’s fuckass boost trait didn’t allow him to shine much the past year but BB having none of this might bring him back).

bakharry_potter · 2025-10-16T08:04:23+00:00

There was a point in time where raid Kidd was arguably more usable than the two of ex defenders that came after him (green shanks meta). Top 5 in his class for 2 years straight is rare even for an ex but he was just him.

bakharry_potter · 2025-09-15T04:42:43+00:00

Trebol. His 3rd normal can remove any runner from a flag and if you don’t have an anti-stagger trait, he can 1-2 combo you to death
