Bug HRMA Fencer one-shot me, is this a bug?

Hey,
I have been wondering because this doesn't seem legit at all.

So, what's been happening is that sometimes, randomly (or at least it seems), I go from 100% to 0% HP when being shot by a group of HRMA Fencers.
This should not happen as I have enough damage prevention to be taking 0 damage hit by the NPC's "normal hits". And what happens is, I am shooting a group of fencers, after shooting down a Triumph NPC, which takes a while of course, and ti spawns all the Fencers, shooting me, while I am taking no damage, and from one moment to another I just get instantly one shot.
The killer shows up as "Area of effect".

I don't quite understand if this is something that happens just with Fencers or not. Neither if it a bug or not. It has happenned to me a several times in the past few days.

I will add example of what shows up on Log book as a reply to the thread.

Best regards,

 

Example of what shows up in the logbook from last night, and today:

 

that is tortuga effect not fencer

 

Can you explain what you mean?

 

Ahoy!

Your fellow pirate is correct.

The entry from your logbook (You were sunk by Area Effect) indicate that your ship exploded after the light of tortuga reached its limit.

In short, the Light of Tortuga increase your hitpoints, damage, speed and hit probability depending on which stage of the item you are currently at.

When receiving damage (hit by npc / player / towers) your light will "charge", and once it is on 100% your "Light Stage" will change.

There are 4 stages on the Light of Tortuga:

Stage 1: In this stage the LoT will provide you with additional 1 000 000 Hitpoints
Stage 2: In this stage the LoT will provide you with additional 750 000 Hitpoints, 10% Hit Probability, +10 Speed and -25% Dodge Chance
Stage 3: In this stage the LoT will provide you with additional 500 000 Hitpoints, 25% Hit Probability, +20 Speed and -50% Dodge Chance
Stage 4: Once this stage is reached your ship will explode​

So as you can see the further stages you reach the lower benefits your ship receive, once stage 4 is reached your ship will simply explode.

If you would like to avoid explosion, or "switch" your Stage back to 1 you must activate a brand new Light of Tortuga.

Does that answer your query?
