Eliminate all armor was working just fine. Is Break Armor a Puzzle Quest 3 thing?  
Assurance of Quality should have caught this…

Maybe its different , as they mean different things. And australians use the same language as us.

If i eliminate a leg its gone. If i break a leg. Then it repairs.

So maybe its a different new spell. Or are the devs making up a new language 🤣

Could just be trying to reduce letter count. “Eliminate all armour” is 20 chars, “Break armour” is 12 chars. If they just go through and change other instances to make it consistent, I’d be fine with the change. But having multiple different wordings that mean the same thing is confusing and looks bad. Especially since this isn’t the only time they’ve done it.

Yes ☝

..but it’s been a trend for a while now, e.g. Orrisea’s 3rd trait:

 ![Screenshot_20260316-111152530](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/6/0626bd3995f25e84a48d48b2b29951be603df45a.jpeg)

Easy fixes that keep being ignored, but I don’t wish to derail this thread (nor is it worth the effort of bringing these up in their own thread when they arise).

Don’t u dare talking about making texts smaller when they literally add up words into the new mimic description instead of plain ‘explode 3 random gems’

Unless it means 3 gems of the same colour rather than just 3 gems.

But in that case can it select a colour that has less than 3 gems on the board which would mean you have to make sure every colour has gems before using.

Yes, consistency is needed. It’s really hard to search for specific behaviors when the wording isn’t consistent.

I wouldn’t be holding my breath. Consistence in GoW is just not a thing. Wordings change all the time depending who is doing the coding or writing. And how many ways can you close a window?

Can I ask for a little more clarification? Is that price adjustments for specific regional locations? Certain items getting bumped up in price for all locations? Both?

I think that in this case, spell break the enemy armor, because after that, if the enemy don’t die, can regenrerate their armor in some cases.
