I haven’t seen anything yet online with info about what skill bonus Merlantis will give. Have the devs dropped this info yet? ---

Without knowing I think it will give attack. I cant help it but whenever I think of a water underworld I am thinking of a creature like this holding a spear: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/1/b1146f60fd411ff8f37a19fd69959f0bd9c08212.jpg) ---

Mostly because spears are the most effective underwater weapon. ---

I’d use a sonic wave tank any day over a spear! 😂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/d/2d23e1d2edf7067f7757aa0f6e4898095f9f8620.jpg) ---

The info could be looked into via the game files before the switch to Unity. (Still can be on mobile.) But I never bothered looking them up because we’ve only got two Merfolk available atm. The info would be mostly worthless right now. ---

Well, balance calls for more Armor and Health kingdoms than Attack and Magic kingdoms. We haven’t seen a new Armor kingdom for a long time now, so it’s most likely going to be that. ---

We need more Armor for Elspeth Bombot fast exploration decks 🙂 Faster exploration means more traitstones! And that would be good news. Health would be interesting to survive the early beating up by Spirit foxes… as an example ---

I like spoilers when it comes to troops stats and spells. I do not like spoilers that reveals the art of the troops tho. ---

I don’t mind. Is a trident technically a spear? ---

For an explicitly water-themed kingdom? _raises eyebrow_ Now, for the Chinese-themed kingdom, maybe. (Think jade.) ---

Shentang or whatever it is will be the green and merlantis will probably be blue then. Makes sense. We already have a plus 2 blue though? ---

Well, with six gem colors it’s inevitable to have some banners that share the same +2 component, we already have that for brown. The interesting part will be which color gets picked for +1/-1.
