Not an issue in this case. Tuliao, Yao x2, Cobaltine Wand, Monk class There are way worse classes/troop selections (though I get it, of course - being that limited is always awkward). ---

If I say something is fixed, I make damn sure it stays that way through subsequent levels of testing. If the same bug happens again in production, it’s not pretty. We can see what they come back with next week. They can have some rope because, to me, it sounds like they never found the root cause and just boosted the spawn rate temporarily.
