Wow, is this a nice time capsule: > [@The 3.0 Guild Wars Update (& Bone Dragon changes) incoming tomorrow (PC/Mobile)!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-3-0-guild-wars-update-bone-dragon-changes-incoming-tomorrow-pc-mobile/21900/1): > > OLD: > Strip Flesh: 8 Skulls + 1 per 3 Armor Stripped (& strip ALL armor), for 14 Mana > [@The 3.0 Guild Wars Update (& Bone Dragon changes) incoming tomorrow (PC/Mobile)!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-3-0-guild-wars-update-bone-dragon-changes-incoming-tomorrow-pc-mobile/21900/1): > > NEW: > Strip Flesh: 9 Skulls + 1 per 4 Armor Stripped (& strip UP TO 25 Armor), for 15 Mana The iceberg goes much deeper than that, however, including: > [@Troop Changes - Bone Dragon Buffs](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/troop-changes-bone-dragon-buffs/22009): > > Originally published at: [http://gemsofwar.com/troop-changes-bone-dragon/](http://gemsofwar.com/troop-changes-bone-dragon/) After careful consideration, the team here at Gems of War has decided to re-buff Bone Dragon. We don’t want Bone Dragon to become obsolete, so in light of this we have made the following changes: Sturdy will be replaced by Impervious. The amount of skulls created before the boost will be increased from 9 to 15. Bone Dragon’s base armour will be increased from 20 to 39. The mana cost of Bone Dragon’s “Strip Flesh” will… What in the unholy… oh wait, was that an April Fool’s 2017 joke? Good one.
