# 1 Alerts - Shadow Embrace on NPCs

What I've begun to notice with Alerts and the skill 'Shadow Embrace' is immense over-scaling of the damage, I'm talking damage that exceeds a fully charged single target attack.

Case 1: Nemesis Minion Darkness: Master Villian - Shadow Embrace ticks 1000 per second, even while blocking, if you're an AT or a freeform that's squishy and lacks healing, you are -dead-.

Case 2: Kevin Poe: Radiation Rumble - Now as much as I enjoy having 50000 hp, if Kevin Poe only needs to use Shadow Embrace and tick 4000-8000 per second I'm not having fun. Comparing this to the 2000-4000 damage that breakaway shot deals this seems a tad ridiculous don't you think?

Case 3: Demonsielle Nocturne - While I haven't had an alert with her, I'd say being a full on darkness villian she has this ability and probably has similar damage scaling (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Is this working as intended or something to work on because compared to every other alert there is, anything with 'Shadow Embrace' is basically a no-no.

I was victim of Poe's SE, and I think it's a bug.
I can fight just fine any of the other villains, including Nocturne (who's a lot less difficult to beat), but yeah the 1k tick of his it's a tad OP.
Now, considering he has no interest for me, I just avoid his Alert or fight him from afar.
