As the title says - if you only get +1 mana per board, that would be a **major** nerf to any Mana Link troop. Especially Queen Aurora, and when unicorns cry, somewhere an adorable and sweet kitten becomes a solipsistic cat. _Why do you hate kittens?_ ---

We don’t. They are delicious. ---

Currently no, but may be something we look at in the future. ---

Thanks - so in this case “no” means Mana Link traits are **not** limited to one per board? ---

I’m not getting the right amount of mana if this is true. Could this be bugged? ---

Looks ok to me. Check your flag bonus/penalty? ---

I can confirm that links only trigger once per instance, not multiple. Banner still works correctly though. ---

Two screen shots below, I have the trident banner selected and cast giant spider on blue. This resulted in a 5 match and a 3 match, both of which surged. With giant spiders magic link, I should of gotten 18 purple mana (10 + 6 + 2) but I only got 17. ![329110_20171028173203_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/2/722d1fa9c74cb7bb618dc79d6a47b6a3c2899c45.jpg) ![329110_20171028173331_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/2/12be4eb1276a0a417b3dac622d37f98f544bc339.jpg) ---

> [@Glenna](#): > > I should of gotten 18 purple mana (10 + 6 + 2) but I only got 17. I think this is due to the latest change in response to the over-misuse of Kraken 3rd trait. Essentially, All proc-on-4-5-gems trait can only activate once per board per troop now. So in your case, it looks like Mana Link only proc’d once, which behaved correctly. If you had 2 Mana-Links, then you would have gotten +2 per proc. ---

But…that was kind of the whole point of this thread, and @Nimhain’s response above seemed to indicate that it should still be 18 (mana link once per match, not once per board). So still an open issue, then?
