Crippling Challenge and AoEs

flamingbunnyman

There's two different Advantages that add Taunt to attacks: Crippling Challenge for single target attacks and Challenging Strikes for AoEs. Sometimes, you get a single target attack like Reaper's Caress which can be turned into an AoE. Typically, these attacks get Challenging Strikes.

However, at least two attacks - Eruption and Lightning Arc - get Crippling Challenge even though they can do AoE damage, one by advantage, the other by a random chance to chain.

If you take Crippling Challenge on one of these and it does AoE damage, how does CC work? Does it only debuff the main target, or does it hit all affected?

I know that Lightning arc only just applies secondary damage and not the debuff towards the enemies who are caught within the 'aoe' and also if you get the advantage on telekinetic assault it just applies the damage and not the CC debuff on all targets caught within the aoe range so it is safe to say that eruption is the same.

Single target attack with the primary target getting CC'd while any entities caught within range have secondary damage applied to them and nothing more.

I believe that there is also one of the new tk powers that is an aoe with CC on it...I'd have to look and see if it works like the others..

That's what I expected. But I was hoping it might be a way to get AoE CC. Oh well.
