I wanted to build a true damage team for this week’s world event.

But I’m sorry, this bull shit existing in the arena is bad enough. (screen shot shows all the current true damage troops and weapons from Blackhawk.)

So many colors in the game yet design “choices” make it a complete mana restricted team and therefore boring to use.

So the question is. Is this intentional?

Probably, in part.

While it’s never made explicit, kingdoms, types and colours all tend to be associated with certain kinds of ability. In this case, True Damage may be linked to the Blue/Purple combination.

Unfortunately, as you note, this can make synergistic team building difficult.
