Season 15 launch bug: transmuting three Ancestral Stealth Runewords incorrectly granted Enigma's teleport power - patched - Diablo IV Season 15 mechanics

An early Season 15 bug let players who transmuted three Ancestral-quality Stealth Runeword armor pieces receive Enigma's signature teleport power unintentionally; fixed in the same Hotfix 2 that addressed the Dance of Knives bug.

Detail

This is another concrete example of the Legacy Runeword system's newness producing unintended cross-item interactions in its first days live - specifically relevant to the task's request to flag Runeword interactions that 'stack oddly.'

Why it works

Not fully documented publicly; the interaction crossed a Runeword-item threshold (3 pieces of the same Runeword) into granting an unrelated, powerful Legacy Unique effect (Enigma's teleport) that was not the intended design.

Numbers

Trigger condition: 3 transfigured Ancestral Stealth Runeword pieces (per the patch note wording).

How to use it

Treat any newly-discovered multi-piece Runeword threshold effect with suspicion until confirmed intended in patch notes; this specific interaction is confirmed fixed as of Hotfix 2.
