https://github.com/FAForever/fa/commit/706646196978c07704e2b3bc48c3b7476e7f86fd, damage was nerferd from 5 pulses to 3 pulses(so ~1.6 times nerf), randomness increased from 1.5 to 2.5.

It's on beta for testings : https://forum.faforever.com/topic/1311/faf-beta-current-changelog

Aeon arty is bugged and it deals twice the damage then it should if it hits a unit directly. This was supposed to fix that issue but it's obviously a subpar solution and we are investigating the core bug and trying to fix it.

Interesting, is that the case if it hits a shield?

[Tagada]

If I remember correctly yes. In my tests i managed to deal 10k dmg to a Fatboy in 1 shot, 5k dmg to its shield and 5k hp to its hp.

Looked at the code will do some more confirmation tomorrow but simply it appears the Aeon Arty is coded to do its damage twice on impact

Oh! I had done lots of tests to see which arty got through shields the fastest. I thought aeon won because of their DOT effect stopping shield regen for longer. Super interesting!

The bug was found, fixed and now it's being tested.
