Connected Worlds (Boss Run) - Brawl with Bosses for valuable rewards!

[Yup]

I'm wondering if this may also be why some have had trouble with "Block Beneficial Effects" mission. It's a very specific debuff that only a couple characters will inflict and I don't think there's any talisman set for "Block Beneficial Effects"

I'm nearly 100% positive that I cross-referenced every entry in Deathbat's guide, to the Compendium, to the in-app display of Character abilities, and concluded that the Missions tab does register verified use of "Block Beneficial Effects"

For example: Sentinel Valkyrie's basic skill, Starblind specifically states BLOCK BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, with 35% (+25%) chance, for 1 (+1) turn Duration.

WTF is it with "curse'? Many toons doesn't work on The Killer Beast.

Not sure what is going on there. I had no problem with it using Sentinel Killer Prime. I used a mellower Eddie than normal (avoiding Gambler Eddie) so as not to kill him in a second. It completed in about 30 runs, I think. Try Killer Prime and see how that works.

Curse worked fine for me.

Perfect Corruption does NOT equal "Block Beneficial Effects" -- neither does "Corruption" -- They are DIFFERENT buffs.
Yes, all 3 debuffs do essentially the same thing.. but the names seem to be specific to the challenges.

You're right about Perfect Corruption being a different buff, but I think "Block Beneficial Effects" is what they call the regular red version of Corruption. Can't remember what it's called when you view the debuff in game, but it uses the red Corruption icon. You can't easily find in the Compendium, but using Deathbat's Guide most of the characters who "Block Beneficial Effects" should work.

Like many others, I used Crusader Eddie's 100% past basic, and teamed him with APMA the red robot for the Lower ATT/MAG 100% basic. Using Clairvoyant as the other ally let me remove Immunity without dealing too much damage. Using a good Eddie to tear through the early waves, and swapping to Crusader for the boss, I was able to use both effects at least twice each run.

Nope.. Red "Corruption" is different than red "Block Beneficial Buffs" and they have different icons as well.

Corruption is the new name for block beneficial effects before silver versions of most effects existed. Its an obsolete effect because only old school characters can apply it. Most newer characters do perfect corruption. The compendium shows that SOL applies corruption but in game his future basic says applies block beneficial effects. If you look at the effect in battle it is the same symbol as what the compendium calls corruption, but even in battle it says block beneficial effects. Just another example of the lack of attention to detail with this game.

I can't find a different image for red Corruption and Block Beneficial Effects? Looking at an old fan wiki, Corruption used to have a different effect (increasing the duration of negative effects), but had the same icon as BBE. A few things have changed since launch, and this might be one of them?

[Yup]

That's because the Compendium doesn't have Block Beneficial Effects listed as a buff.

Perhaps I'm wrong but I'd swear that Corruption and Block Beneficial effect have different icons. I'll have to take some in-game screenshots

But even so.. if the icon is the same it doesn't matter the name is different.. And it's the name which registers in challenges from my experience.
