Steps to Reproduce
- boot up any lobby, custom match or use public matchmaking to get into a lobby as artist
- pick perk save the best for last
- hit nonobsession with an M1 (obtain stacks)
- now that you have stacks, shoot a bird at the obsession
- observe as your stacks disappear without causing any damage to the obsession
Explanation
Artist's power swarming people cross map distance removes two stacks of save the best for last, even though it does not result in any damage.
STBFL - perk description itself says:
WHENEVER THE OBSESSION TAKES DAMAGE, LOSE 2 TOKENS
getting swarmed doesnt damage you, at best its a minor nuisance(repel / jump into a locker)
GETTING SLINGSHOTTED DAMAGES YOU => stacks removed
Unless STBFL tokens are meant to be removed by an "emotional damage"
(which they don't - in the case of cenobite, plague's green vomit, houndmaster - snug's grab those don't remove stbfl stacks either...)
I dont see any reason for artists non-injuring, non-lethal bird swarms to remove them either, the followup hit on a swarmed survivor, slingshot and the direct hit with the crow's line + her m1 are the only damaging actions she can engineer... hopefully you get the point
Watchers
