The first skill for all rare rarity troops is higher than common rarity troops, but it is always the same and I checked that for ultra-rare as well… Probably the same is true for second and third skills… There is a consistent pattern, but these 4 troops do not follow that pattern, so I suspect it is a bug in the game balance. I am not sure if I remember the names correctly:Trodoglyde, Penguin, Aurai and a bat with a name I don’t recall… Looks a bit like a Golbal from Pokemon. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** consistent issue How to reproduce: Just try upgrade of these troops and go to skills… And compare with other common rarity troops. ---

Those are the guild war reward troops, and are meant to be much more expensive to trait. ---

You forgot Peryton and Aurai. Yes, they are not very “common” troops, and their traits are powerful, that’s why they are expensive. ---

Yeah they take a while to trait, Ogryn sure is worth it if you use him with 2x fire bomb & sunbird.
