**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
I never used Arena after the reconstruction, but now I have to fulfill campaign quests. And while Arena is very weird now (I have no idea how it’s supposed to play on difficulty levels higher than Warlord II, when anyone kills you with one hit), it’s mostly ok.
But what is surprised me is the banner. It’s the third week already, and each time I have The Broken Banner only. No random, no choice, only “+blue and brown” now and again. Looks wrong for me. Is it supposed to work this way? Is banner works at all? Why I have the choice then, if not?
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
Always, as I can see.
**Steps to make it happen again**
- Start Arena run.
- Select the banner.

Banner doesn’t work in Arena. It’s only shown because the way the teams are coded, I guess they require a banner.

> I’ve checked in on this again, and the design team do not intend for the banner to be applying Gem Mana bonuses in Arena. The banner is visible there as the game applies it by default (the code inherently applies a banner to each team), however, I’ve passed on a suggestion for a quality of life improvement to adjust this is to display a banner or somehow visually indicate that no Mana bonus is meant to apply.

Aha. Thank you. Worth to remove it then. (It not visible anyway except “Hero and Banner” tabs, so removing “Banner” tab will resolve the issue.)
