  • We have fixed an issue where Troops with spells that can only be cast once, could be summoned in and then cast their spell again.

  • We have also fixed an assortment of smaller issues.

This update will be available on Switch today.

Can you also post a list of known-bugs? How many of the PC/Mobile 5.7 bugs are also present in the Switch version?

Off the top of my head:
GaP giving wrong rewards
L- and T- 5 matches sometimes proc’ing as 2x 3-matches instead
Potions destroyed before the first turn give mana and proc traits of AI troops

… as far as I know, these were all introduced with the 5.7 update to PC/mobile. Have they been fixed on Switch?

5.7 is the same across platforms, the Known Issues can be found here:

Was the GaP bug where all 4 rewards are the same regardless of the gnomes present in the fight already fixed? I don’t see it on that list.

Also, FYI (if you look beyond the title of the bug report and further down in the thread) the 5-match bug is not just with skulls/doomskulls in an L or T 5-match, but with gems and potions as well. Might be worth mentioning ALL the ways a bug can cause you to lose a sigil you’ve paid $$ for via gems, rather than just a few of them.

Yeah, I don’t think the Known Issues page is as well or as actively updated as it should be.
