Why do we take damage during Falstad's Flight and Auriel's Angelic Flight?

Auriel's Angelic Flight

Tooltip

The tooltip doesn't mention anything about Unstoppable and Untargetable:

[20] Angelic Flight: 30 seconds; After 2 seconds, fly to a target location.

Code

The code has 4 flags to disable some interactions:

• Unstoppable;

• Untargetable;

• Immune to Area of Effect;

• Immune to Skillshots.

<Duration value="10" />

<StateFlags index="UnitAttrOnImmuneToAOE" value="1" />

</Modification>

<DamageResponse Chance="1" Handled="AurielAngelicFlightApplyDeathForceSet" Fatal="1" />

<FinalEffect value="AurielAngelicFlightDestroySearchPersistent" />

</CBehaviorBuff>

Testing

After testing it, we found out that Auriel can be damaged by:

• point-and-click Abilities (eg. Uther's Hammer of Justice);

• Basic Attacks.

On the other hand, she cannot be damaged by:

• ground-level objects (eg. Abathur's Toxic Nests);

• area-of-effect Abilities (eg. Uther's Divine Storm);

• skillshot-based Abilities (eg. ETC's Powerslide);

• Structures.

Conclusions

We concluded that:

• the Untargetable flag is NOT working;

• the Immune to Area of Effect flag is working;

• the Immune to Skillshots flag is working;

• the Unstoppable flag is working.

Falstad's Flight

Tooltip

The tooltip doesn't mention anything about Unstoppable and Untargetable:

Flight: 75 seconds; Instead of mounting, Falstad can fly a great distance over terrain.

Code

The code has 2 flags to disable some interactions:

• Unstoppable;

• Untargetable.

Patch Notes

We know from past Patch Notes that Blizzard intended to make Falstad not a valid target for some Abilities:

Falstad: Will no longer be struck by ground-level objects, such as Abathur’s Toxic Nests, while using Flight.

Testing

After testing it, we found out that Falstad can be damaged by:

• ground-level objects (eg. Abathur's Toxic Nests);

• area-of-effect Abilities (eg. Uther's Divine Storm);

• point-and-click Abilities (eg. Uther's Hammer of Justice);

• skillshot-based Abilities (eg. ETC's Powerslide);

• Basic Attacks;

• Structures.

Conclusions

We concluded that:

• the Untargetable flag is NOT working;

• the Immune to Area of Effect flag is MISSING;

• the Immune to Skillshot flag is MISSING;

• the Unstoppable flag is working.
