Storm Flip is not doing damage to enemy Guards anymore

Summary

I was used to do damage to enemy Guards with a consumable item called “Storm Flip” in my map for some time (I have it there as a reward that is difficult to obtain) and it was working fine until some of the recent updates, but I don’t know which one exactly (probably sometime in November 2024). Right now Storm Flip is not doing any damage to enemy Guards at all. It was not doing any damage to Creatures (Zombies) before, but it was doing damage to enemy Guards for sure. I didn’t find any information about it in Release Notes for recent updates, so it looks like a bug and not as a change that was intended. I already tried it many times and also in another map to verify that it is not happening only in 1 map.
