If he were empowered and offset by (magic+1) scatter damage instead, maybe he’d have some use in GW or something. The creation of gargoyle gems (effectively stone blocks) is a killer, though. ---

been a while since I messed with mana drain, but now I remember why I gave up on it. SO many troops are just plain immune…you almost need to run a curse option on any team to make the troop effective. If you do, or if the enemy team can’t stop mana drain the troop is actually very fun to use. ---

I spent 200k glory + 1 month glory keys, got 4 Tourmaline. In fairness, it is in the event keys. ---

If you have the paid pass though, you can just use gems (100 per gem) to fast track to the end of it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/6/a600110f8f67e2f0ac9ae3d8eb4400f1d1f9236d.jpeg) ---

Unfortunately it’s only the mana drain boosted by gargoyles, not the damage 😓 ---

Still very fun combination to play (though nothing I would bring into a PVP fight). Shut down the board by blocking it with stones and goyles, keep the enemy at low mana, and once you’re at 15-20 gargoyles on the board, blow up the whole thing. Trick or Treat for everyone (un)lucky enough to witness. Or in shorter words, the next spell in my screenshot won’t be the mythic, but the mountain crusher. 🙂 ---
