I’d say FoT troops and Elves get the +25%. The boost to glade warden attack coupled with his 3rd trait could be useful. Boost to Rowanne’s armor will have a nice impact too.
The quest epic is Rowanne, so snotstones will have to do with her. Not sure what though, her quest line involves curing the forest so not a big hint on what they’d do.
All of Suncrest troops have now gained a spell, and some have gained traits…
Next (after Suncrest) kingdom’s troops appeared. They are currently slated for 2017-05-26. Only troop and spell names are currently available, not even colors are set properly (they’re all mono-red regardless of rarity).
Release schedule after new kingdom is shifted forward by one week to fit the new kingdom.
May’s mythic gained a third trait, and June’s mythic appeared.
Full spell and trait info for the new GW troop rewards.
Full details will follow later, or per request, as that’s a lot of info. In the meantime, behold next week’s troop:
It doesn’t have a spell for now, so it’s impossible to tell how good it is yet.
Still, here’s all available details for future mythics (Though Stonehammer did not change, I put him in as well for completeness sake).

If Aspect of Courage was +1 Attack instead of +3, this would not be nearly as much of a problem; Courage would still be by far the most useful guardian, but it wouldn’t be as extreme as at present. Not sure what the reasoning is behind leaving the trait as-is for so long.
While we may touch on Courage later, we are unsure if he is just a symptom of the Bone Dragon problem. Once the Bone Dragon change is released with 3.0 Patch, we will be reviewing the guardians.
Making a skull attack will (in general, very roughly) trigger at least as often as casting a spell… and both can be set up tactically to happen more often.
On trait effect:
Loyalty gives +2 Life/Armour (+4 ‘face value’ in the old measures)
Courage gives +3 Attack/Life (+9 'face value)
Surely they could at least be the other way around, as in Loyalty has +3/+3 and Courage +2/+2. That puts both to a +6 ‘face value’…
(not to digress too far into my views on Guardians balance, sorry)
Back to spoilers: @yonizaf did you mean to include
…with Captain Skullbeard? I assume he’s legit for next week?
He is. That’s just a standard disclaimer so people don’t think it’s posted by a dev and complain when it changes (apparently a thing). I was asked by a dev to make sure people don’t think my images are official, especially if I post them without a spoiler tag.
If you have a better suggestion for how to say that, that would be great. I’m not a native English speaker, so these things happen and I’m open to feedback.
