Hello  
Encountered it earlier today - got 2 mana from possessed. Then in another case - just 1. In a next round - 3.

- Are you noticing this consistently? Or randomly?
- And against 1 specific opponent or various?
- Also, in one specific game modern (archive, story, adventure) or anywhere?

If you could get a video, that would be great, as so far I am consistently getting 3 mana when I am Possessed - testing in Season Archive 2.0

It happens randomly, and on the same battle it may give 1 mana, and for the next round - 3.  
I’ve seen it more often in the farm girls adventure, fight with the spider (in arachnophobia mode).  
Couldn’t capture this on the video yet.  
It also happened in the season dungeon as you may see from the screenshot above (1 mana after possessed)

I’ll see if anyone else in the team has more luck than me, unless you manage to grab a video in the meantime!

Might be easier to identify whats causing the problem if you took a screenshot of your loadout.

Sorry for the delay, only just spotted in your screenshot you have the debuff Terrified, which halves all positive status effects - so where you would have gained 3 mana, you gained one.

Which is why I was not able to produce and mention earlier, cos I wasn’t have Terror applied to me and halving those benefits.

Hi Jeto, I did not have terrified, I have regeneration which is a buff and it should not impact possessed effect.

Oop! Yeah sorry I saw Possessed and was like… that’s the icon

Also given the location you experienced it and also having possessed, it seemed like the most likely interaction that caused it to be 1 instead of 3.

Can you grab a video so we can see all the interactions? I’ve still had zero luck with reproducing what you have mentioned, I was constantly getting 3, and I played in the same Season and battle.

I can try but indeed hard to reproduce consistently.  
Visually I has a feeling that mana was applied “stepwise”, like +1, then raising to +3. And in some instances this second step was not happening (stuck at +1 only).  
That was my visual feeling on how the numbers have risen.
