‘’Immune to Crowd Control. Crowd Control skills remove stacks of Defiant’’

I know it doesnt say it does, Nor is it mentioned on the ’’Unshakable’’ Buff that pairs with it, (But during Bounty Hunts esecially) Once [Defiant] Stacks the target seems to become incredibly tough, Like untouchable. and attack damage seems as though it drops to below 10…
Ive tested this with 15 people and with 30+ people, Even though its easier with 15 people due to event scalling, But the same effect tends to happen.

Anyone know if Defiant actually buffs the target toughness wise at all? Its becoming a right pain and slowing us down on Bounty Hunts, It isnt easy trying to get 30+ people not to use a CC move x).
Thanks

From the wiki:

“Defiant is an effect that grants immunity to most control effects. It is caused by Unshakable, an ability possessed by most champion and legendary rank enemies.

When a creature with Unshakable ability spawns, it will gain Unshakable effect. When succesfully affected by a control effect, the creature will gain a minimum of 3 stacks of Defiant, but potentially many more depending on how many players are nearby, based on event scaling. Stacks of Defiant can be removed with additional control effects, and once all stacks are removed, the creature is vulnerable to control effects once again, and the cycle repeats."

So, it is actually a good thing that people are using CC, they just need to use it more to knock off the buffs.

Yeah ive notcied that it knocks the buffs off, But only Once the buffs have been up on by the initial CC. Its in the time it takes us to remove the buffs the targets are seeming an awful lot tougher thna thye were prior to the ’’Defiant’’ starting.
