Pulse Punch - After the old Plasma Grenade got swapped out for Pulse Punch, NPCs that previously had Plasma Grenade got it replaced with Pulse Punch accordingly. However, it would seem that when NPCs attempt to use this skill on their first turn, it will cause the game to freeze. After about 30 seconds, it times out and the NPC ends up skipping their turn. This is very frustrating when playing Jugg and challenging NPCs. The reason why I believe it's Pulse Punch that's causing this is because I've only seen it happen on NPCs with Pulse Punch and because Pulse Punch has a 2 turn warm up, unlike any other skill that NPCs currently have. I think the 2 turn warm up is preventing them from using it on the first turn. On turn 2, they are able to use it. I don't know what the code looks like, but my guess is that NPCs have a condition that overrides 1 turn of warm up, which explains why multi skills (which have 1 turn warm ups) can be used on first turn just fine. For Pulse Punch, that needs to be increased to 2 turns.
Tactical Shark Drone - The extra crit chance on the E version has been fixed, so that's good. But something else hasn't: a weird glitch that causes it to do a tick of "POISON" when you attack with it that pops up simultaneously as the normal damage. It's purely a visual bug, and probably has to do with the fact that it has lifesteal (I'm assuming it only happens on the normal attack, but I don't know for sure since I've hardly tested the special attack). It only happens very occasionally and I'm not sure how to replicate it. I think I've only seen it happen on Rage, but plenty of times when you Rage it it doesn't happen, so Rage is not the sole cause. For reference, I did a boss fight that lasted almost 800 rounds; I must have used it about a hundred times or more, and I think the glitch only happened a total of 3 times.
Azrael's Borg - This has probably been an issue for over a year, so I'm surprised it hasn't been caught yet. If I have the down correct, I understand that it was buffed from 65% to 85% in July 2018, nerfed to 75% in April 2019, and then nerfed again to 60% in January 2020. The description also says 60%. However, I tested it against a couple different buffs and I've come to the conclusion that it's still 85%. I'm guessing neither of the past two nerfs were coded correctly for the intended nerf. In fact, I wonder if that could be the reason why it had to be nerfed twice in a row in the first place--people thought the effect was too strong when in fact it was just bugged. As it is, 85% is really powerful.
Edit: Apparently, Assault Bot has the same issue. Was changed to 75% but still doing 85%. In this case, I think it should stay 85% and just have the description updated though, for balance's sake.
