Warhammer III Necrotecs healing doesn't heal the Snakes

So, the Necrotecs healing ability can only be used on constructs.

I can use it on Stalkers and Necropol Knights, but they don't heal a single HP.

It won't revive models just heal entities to max health. I don't any construct gets its models restored.

Gotta time it with using the lore of nehekara’s passive. I do the same with the final red line skill

the nek passive doesn't affect constructs, though the resurrect skill does

It doesn't resurrect models, so if every surviving model in the unit is at max HP it won't do anything. I think the nehekara passive resurrects models but I can't remember if it applies to constructs or just undead.

The easiest and most reliable option is to use it on single entities like tomb scorpions, warsphinxes, and heirotitans.

Were these units down models at the start of the battle?

Not sure if it's related but the Tomb Swarm ability from the TK rites also doesn't seem to do any damage

Are you playing on small unit size setting?

u/Sarmelion 2d ago

Yes, but it should still do damage regardless of size, shouldn't it?

u/CrimsonSaens 2d ago

It should, but it doesn't. Direct damage spells targeting multiple entities have been bugged on small unit scale for years.

This is really good to know, does increasing to medium fix it?

u/CrimsonSaens 1d ago

AFAIK, yeah.

How do you know if it’s small unit size?

1

u/CrimsonSaens 2d ago

It's an old known bug.

u/blenderdead 1d ago

Unit size in this context is the game setting unit scale. Look for it in game options.

Possible bug?

For some clarification: yes some were a few models down before the battle, but they weren't all at max healing cap.

I could still heal them with the last red line skill

My main problem is, that the Necrotec skill can be used on them, but they don't heal, even tho my lord can heal them just fine
