Charm inflicted by Butterflies still doesn't count as 'you'. This Vorpal rabbit killed one of mine and still approached / attacked me right after.

Vorpal Rabbit's turn.
Vorpal Strike!Vorpal Rabbit attacks Butterfly Illusion with Vorpal Fangs and hits them!
Butterfly Illusion takes 70 Pierce damage.
Vorpal Rabbit was inflicted with Charm!

Vorpal Rabbit's turn.
Vorpal Rabbit attacks Séirina Viatolé with Vorpal Fangs and misses them!

Could we get an indicator in the Charm status (like in SL1) to help verify this when it's checked at again? IE: Charm (Person who charmed you)

[Ryu-Kazuki]

Further information;

Another Vorpal Rabbit got charmed while I was under the effect of Aposemagicka, and it still attacked me afterward as if it wasn't charmed.

I've heard charm works fine in PvP, but I haven't tested it out yet to check.

[Ryu-Kazuki]

Further information;

From what I've studied, allied monsters will attack their buddy if he gets charmed, but he still targets and attacks the person who charmed him.

I used Fire Jet, then the Legume got charmed by my butterfly that the Shaman killed, jumped by his buddies, and then he came after me and promptly died by fire.

I have run in to this as well in PvE I installed the jester girl thing (Can't remember what she called) and used wink. The monster then went on to still hit me.

[Ryu-Kazuki]

I tested with Chaos and Fern the other day, Butterflies work fine in PvP.

I just tested Black Rose in PvE as an Evoke Active skill and this happened;

This also happens when Butterflies inflict charm on enemies via PvE. I'm lv 51 currently and that was a lv 14 Electrojam.

Just did a quick test with Mattie, using Aposemagika and Black Rose as an Evoke Active from Wawa, it seems to work in PvP, but not in PvE against monsters.

Which monsters? Because IIRC there's a level limit on Charm.

[Ryu-Kazuki]

So far it seems to be all monsters, regardless of level. Like in my example two posts up I was much higher than the Electrojam and it still focused on me. Me at lv 51, and the Electrojam at lv 14.

Though, if they are charmed, their allies will still attack them, but they ignore charm completely regardless of what level they are.

[Ryu-Kazuki]

Charm only didn't work if they were 3 - 5 levels above you, correct?

My last example a few posts up. Vs lv 14 Electrojam as lv 51 player, used Black Rose via Evoke-Active.

Show that despite the level difference, they will still ignore charm.

As it seems, Charm works fine in PvP, but doesn't work in PvE except for the fact that charmed enemies are being attacked by their buddies while they are charmed. If this isn't enough of an example, I'll try to download gyazo and get some .gif examples of the bug to report it later.

[Ryu-Kazuki]

I did another test with a level 1 Jammer. I am currently at lv 60. The Jammer completely ignored the fact that it's charmed against me.



This shows the turn in which the Jammer attacked me, with the charm status in play.

This screenshot shows the Jammer at lv 1, and some of the battle text.

The battle text shows that the Jammer ignored Charm, despite being level 1.




Against a lv 5, in PvP, the player who helped me test told me they could not attack me. This proves that any player character below your level when charmed works properly.

To conclude, and -finally- get this bug fixed, Monsters in PvE are ignoring Charm if they are outside the level range, by this, if they are three levels or more lower than you, they will ignore charm, despite in PvP, any enemy lower level than you will be affected by Charm properly. This works for all forms of Charm, including Black Rose from Wawa when used as an Evoke-Active from the Summoner.
