For every enemy attack, regardless of which, there was always a chance that it would ignore my armor on Spell damage. I didn’t see the same happening to my enemies, though, and I lost a match because of this bug ---

some spells do true damage which does ignore armour. If it is an attack then chances are it is a passive ability but not sure. Can you tell us what enemies they were so the devs can determine what troops are bugged if any. ---

the traits or passive abilities are disabled in arena. 😃 hope that helps. what were you fighting? maybe we could piece it together? ---

@killerman3333 I’m well aware of that. One of them was Sacred Guardian, and that one shouldn’t do that afaik. There was a Wight in the enemy party, though, not sure if it interfered somehow. @kzintiwife Yup, also aware of that. If anything, having traits off only makes all this weirder. ---

What do you mean by “passive abilities”, btw? Do you mean the things that were included in classes? Which reminds me: classes do not make any difference in Arena, right? I’m confused, because I think they’ve either turned back on making difficulty not influence Arena/PvP, or forgot to remove it from Difficulty screen. Information is still dubious, which is understandable. ---

traits and passive abilities are the same to me so if it caused confusion i apologize. ---

I’m confused, because I think they’ve either turned back on making difficulty not influence Arena/PvP, or forgot to remove it from Difficulty screen. Information is still dubious, which is understandable. take base stats - no kingdoms, no class, no traits, nothing but the raw guys. set everybody besides the hero at lvl 15 and the hero at current lvl. fight. 🙂 arena and pvp will work like before but if you play normal, as you get to rank 1 in pvp or win 8 in arena, code breaker will be turned off. hope that helps 🙂
