Do gnomes not roll first? I thought I saw a statement to that effect, somewhere.
āIt says thatāā¦ But thereās no way gnomes still drop in 1:30 matches during battle crasher events.
Well, I was finishing some Seals last night. I did 135 battles, in PvP, and got (at least):
3 Pet Gnomes
1 Treasure Gnome
1 Soul Gnome
Seems pretty on point to me. Granted, I know thatās a pretty small āsampleā. But, you gotta remember, Unity is super streaky. Thereās times Iāve gone 65 battles without seeing a Gnome, but then I get one back to back. Or, I get 3 Gnomes in 5 battles, then wonāt see one for the next 50. Itās probably balances out, in the end, but I understand how those ādry periodsā can be frustrating

Perhaps the devs thought they were in dire need of a nerf this week.

Well, battlecrasher only show in pvp so wont affect me in any way when hunting gnomes 
Inb4 every vault week-end from now on will have a battlecrasher.
To explore we goooo
Gotta love indirect gnome nerf 
Well, battlecrashers or not got 0 sense look for gnomes in pvp, now most of matches are backup, child of the sky, golems, spiders, endless summon from jar (happened to me too to summon 2 in a turn with it, AI ofc did better refilling the whole party).
Scouting/avoiding teams just make you lose time.
Only reason to do pvp right now is golds if youāre really desperate about it.
While for explore i got 3 teams:
Brown doom, troglodite, gimlet, princess elspeth.
Blue doom, penguin, scurwydog, princess elspeth.
Red doom, ogryn, taipan, princess elspeth.
Class dont mtter really, w/e i am lvling, 95% of matches end on first turn in 3 moves, if āgoes badā will end on second turn (not much survive the 40 damage to all of cast, then thereās the extras and ofc the skulls).
So not only x gnomes but also class xp explo is way faster than pvp.
Sunbird fire bomb explore team would make explore go faster
I completely agree man I usually play explore too for gnomes but you know, there are also a lot of people who donāt like it because is super boring, so they like pvp more. Also pvp gives ingots and trophies which are important if your guild cares about them.
But yeah, just another ārandom stealthā nerf that nobody asked. Hopefully itās just a one time thing.
Defo not, i was using this ages ago and even happened tht after exploding both bombs bird wasnt full lol, also, unless youāre lucky and get a cascade with 4match you pass turn to ai that, even if not dangerous, will more likely waste time on multiple extra turns.
Oh, forgot to add that sunbird also do lot less damage than a doomweapon, thereās lot more that will survive the cast (pretty much all legs and up wont die with 1 sunbird cast).

My explore team is Forest Guardian, Sunbird, Fire Bomb, Imperial Jewel. Half-mana start due to FG third trait. I donāt have any doomed weapons so this explore team works for me.
well then ofc yes, as i said i used that or even others too before (like hero with MC, x2 bombots and elspeth).
But dooms are really too good, oh, before i forgot about my most hated troop x explore, Undine with his lame immunity to ādamage allā, dooms take care of him too with the skulls.
Ps: to be fair i avoided to talk about the 1/1000 chance that can still happen, happened once to me x now, after you cast doom a enemy survive the damage/extras, skulls dont even make a 3 match then the ai clear the whole board from skulls and kill your hero haha :3, ok easily avoidable by looking at what youāre doing but weāre talking about mindless spamming after all hehe.
To clarify - Battlecrashers do not affect the spawn rate of Gnomes. If a Gnome would spawn, a Battlecrasher will not take its place.

Iām sure thatās how itās intended. Iām planning on trying to get physical proof to show otherwise this weekend. I hope Iām wrong. But right now I do realize I have confirmation bias. Gnomes seem to be less apparent during battle crasher events. I just donāt have any proof of it yet.
The drop rate for gnomes should still be 1:15 during Vault weekends. I understand it can be streaky and go 60 matches without seeing 1 just to get 4 in a row right after. But between Friday-Sunday it should be about 1:15ā¦ So 1:20 or lower drop rate would indicate that the battle crasher and gnomes arenāt working as intended. Right?
