So with the Guild Wars we will be “invited” to use teams with one similar color. It reminds me that the bonus for having 4 troops with one similar color is just useless… Here is my ideas: 1. change +X to Mastery to +X% to Mana Surge 2. OR change to Gain bonus Y Mana from Y Gem matches. Also I think it could be nice to add a bonus when you have 3 troops with one similar color. ---

The game itself is already easy enough, don’t add more sugar into the picture please… ---

also in guild wars ppl are “suppose” to have higher invade loose ratio then the 0%-5% otherwise whole guild war ranking will be pointless kinda xD imagine a standard where top 200 guilds all do 30 perfect wins x 30 members ---

I am sorry but this topic is not about Guild Wars difficulty: 1. the current bonus is totally useless. 2. I don’t see how “Gain bonus Y Mana from Y Gem matches.” can make suddenly battles super easy… You have to “feed” 4 troops with this color so I don’t see how +1 mana to matches in this color will be so powerful. 3. This bonus is not only applied in Guild Wars, it’s currently useless in all other modes (PVP, Arena, etc.) 😉 ---

1. yes 2. it can, i dont know will it but there is possibility while: 3. sure it would affect all game modes but guild war will be the place where it will affect it with the biggest impact - thats why we should wait and see first how guild wars single color fights and ranking turn out before making a **balance** change that could greatly affect it ---

Time to rez this topic. So now that we have some experience about GW, don’t you think a rework of this bonus could help to balance a little? 🙂 ---

Honestly GW just needs to be redone. Forcing mono color teams is a bad mechanic, and is terrible team building. If anything it should encourage having troops of different colors, not same colors. To point, yes, there should be either a percentage buff to mana mastery or static +1 to that color gem matches. 25 mastery is probably not even worth half of a percent at level 300 lol
