I think the GW defense bonus is going to help a lot with variety when it comes out. We’ll keep a close on that, of course, and if it doesn’t, it’s super easy for us to adjust the bonus and make it more worthwhile. > > 2. In 3.2, there is a change to the way Kraken’s trait resolves. IT resolves ONCE for each boardful of gems… which takes the edge off that team in the screenshot a little. I played around 50-ish games against various L1000+ Troll/Kraken teams last week in 3.2, and while you DO still have to pay attention, and try to keep green off the board, they feel considerably more balanced to me. > [@Alpheon](#): > > It is for all match-type traits. Match 3 (i.e Krystanax), along with other Match 4/5 traits (i.e Mab, Kraken, etc.) will only resolve once per board. When gems start cascading, the traits will activate again. This seems to be their fix for the problem. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/can-the-devs-please-play-their-game/31600)._
