For all platforms. Including Switch. ---

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. ---

We have also changed the Enemy Team to: > > - Dragon Knight > - Wolf Knight > - Griffin Knight > - Shadow Dragon 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. ---
