Death is here! From the mysterious hidden kingdom, Apocalypse, the last rider has appeared. Death is most feared of all the horseman, for once he has placed his mark upon you, your soul belongs to him! Death will be the ONLY Mythic Troop available in chests for the next 7 days, so now is a great chance to make sure he’s on your team (after 7 days, War, Famine & Plague will be rejoining him in chests). He is available in Glory Chests, Gem Chests (10x Chance), and VIP Chests (100x Chance, for VIP players only). Please note this Troop is currently only available to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

No yellow and they buffed his spell i think. I remember deathmark all, i do not remember him doing damage of any kind. Death\*\*\* valk\*\*\* Giant spider\*\*\* Mercy\*\*\* Some else can choose the flag. Also as good as he is, he needs a buff to either magic or his third trait. ---

Aaaaand, got 'im! That makes four. Now if only I actually had the resources to do anything with them… Also, here’s a line-up that will allow all four horsemen to have at least one open color each: War ( **Red** / **Blue** / **Brown** ) Death ( **Purple** / _Red_ / _Blue_) Plague ( **Green** / _Blue_ / _Purple_) Famine ( **Yellow** / _Green_ / _Brown_) ---

Not really.

Honestly I’m feeling quite down about this game now that mythics are introduced. RNG is not and never will be my friend on any game I’ve ever played. I don’t know why I always keep trying when it never pans out. You’d think my expectations would be lower… But I really crave these mythics. I used every resource that I had (150 gem chests, 1000 glory). Its never enough. I swear you have to be in a top 10 guild to reliably get these mythics. But hey maybe in a few years I’ll finally get a mythic 😛 I may be a bit blue and bitter and wish mythics were never introduced… But I’m glad that some people have found them 🙂 ---

Not particularly overwhelming stats and the 4 apocalypse troops in a team bonus is disappointing too… not thst i expect yo ever have them all. Just out of interest why is plague one if the 4 horsemen? ---

Hmm i have been using Death for a while, at level 20 and the first upgrade and i feel that only 28 (in my case) of damage divided among the 4 enemy troops is a few damage for a epic base troop… Don’t you think taht would be a good idea increase the base damage? ---

> [@Robert](#): > > Just out of interest why is plague one if the 4 horsemen? Plague is also known as Pestilence. Pestilence could be a more difficult concept to grasp for some people while plague is straight-forward and easy to understand. Also, plague just sounds apocalyptic while the alternative just sounds like a roach spray. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/a-new-mythic-approaches-death/10745.md?page=2)
