Unfortunately, event chests have a tendency to be misconfigured, either entirely missing specific mythic troops or containing them at significantly lower than advertised odds. There is no way to know this ahead of spending, and no way to get any kind of refund. If you plan to open event chests, wait till the weekend for the community to find irregularities, this significantly reduces your risk of getting burned.
Old Player Team
Man-at-Arms
Sir Gwayne
Queen Ysabelle
Knight Captain
Old Enemy Team
Knight Coronet
Wolf Knight
Griffin Knight
Shadow Dragon
Not much of a difference, I guess it’s a little bit better to deal with an Enemy Dragon Knight over Knight Coronet. Knight Coronet can double hit the last enemy alive, and can remove purple away from Shadow Dragon.
Not going to miss Knight Captain, either. Man-At-Arms may have a weak spell strength but that Barrier is always useful.
This is one of the few times where I’ve been annoyed by poison. Poison from Shadow Dragon’s spell kept wiping out my barriers, so I brought 3x Orpheus just to get rid of it.
(traumatic memories of a Naga Bounty weekend)
Also, between Brass Drake and Dragon Commander, these are the ONLY sources of Lightning Gems currently available on Switch (due to skipping the Campaign itself). We appear to have a Journey scheduled next week, and a Tower Invasion scheduled week after that.
I love the new troops and weapon!
