I think you guys could’ve thought of something better than scatter damage…

2.5 x magic scatter damage is surely low. I’d say anything scatter less than 4 x magic shouldn’t appear on mythic troop, unless it’s super loopy. Or unless damage is not the spell’s primary effect.

Also Android. I tried to download all graphics assets but it said there weren’t any. I also won’t reinstall game.
This was a regular bug a year or more ago.

By the way, do game alerts work in your game?

A reinstall should resolve this issue if all assets are already downloaded

Jeto when this bug used to appear, support would say this, but it turned out there was something happening that support had to fix. I guess it should be in the test log somewhere?

Good troop.
Getting extra turns. Pretty regular.
A mix of blue and yellow lighting gems.
Good spell, lets not concentrate on just the damage of the spell guys lol.
I extra turned 4 times in a row before, thats better than a lethal damage with no follow up .
Ps. Im sure to some it wont be, cos they want everything on every mythic 🤪

Can anyone point to where “galestorm” is defined? It’s great that one is created but _what is it?_

Another confirmation that reinstalling the game did not resolve the issue.

I’d say it was decent. Not great. Damage is low and scatter damage is not well liked. It’s actually not a bad damage type, because it damages all enemies but (unlike damage all effects) it concentrates the damage as enemies die, getting stronger. But scatter damage always seems to be too low.
The looping is the main part to focus on. It creates a bunch of gems and keeps a storm going with those same gems. So in theory, it has a good chance of looping. The issue is if that loop fails, it can result in a board that’s set up against you, letting the enemy loop against you. That’s more risk, so people want more damage to compensate. But I think the damage is OK. A little low, could do with a buff, but not so low I’d never use the troop.
When it loops, it is worth using, and deals a lot of damage in a single turn. When it flops, it only deals a small amount of damage and sets up the enmy team.

I can see why they nerfed the spell of Tempestus from 18 lightning gems to 13 because it would have had a higher extra turn chance as long as it wasn’t frozen. But at least the "Fun Police didn’t completely ruin it.
Tempestus is still a great Mythic with traits that nicely complement the spell. Axoltol and Crysturtle love the constant mana and compliment your hero and the Malestrom boss troop very nicely to make Merlantis have a lot of kingdom synergy. You can also have fun with Daughter of Time and keep the loop going for awhile.
