Ava's New Pounce Attack - Damage Bug

[Woahluigi]

Ava's new pounce attack (6-17-25 patch) can hit players, minions, and objectives, in addition to boxes. However, when used against actual enemy targets, the pounce does no damage, but it does give feedback in the form of a flash, hit sound, and knockback on the melee-target. If you use Crushing Fists, you get a numerical indicator for damage (which is 0), but otherwise you get no damage indicator.
Edit: You can also melee Sinner's Sacrifice machines, but while you get a hit sound there's no hange to the machine's health.

I hope that players should be able to damage targets with Ava, but even if that's not intended there's still a lot of questionable behavior on the new feature.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to not do actual damage to targets, likely was set up like any other character melee but had the melee dmg during cat form nuked to not work/do damage but only basically open boxes.

You can also parry Ava's pounce attack despite it doing no damage, reverting Calico into her normal state. Not sure if this is intended.

I'm... pretty sure this is intended, the whole idea of the rework is basically stop having a Calico farming 1000 boxes per minute while being on cat form, probably the 0 damage thing is like a "joke" because, well, she is a cat. Probably they should do it in another way, but NO damage from that, oh god.

Another related bug, Ava can still run on the top of boxes in order to break them. Since that's faster in most circumstances, this attack doesn't really do anything.
