Everything looks good. Great improvements. Maybe this will get people to rethink 3x Maw decks. Keep up the great work!:sunglasses:

I can say maw teams on PC were/are significantly lower after the same update. There are new problem teams, but there always will be.

Maw’s third Trait still Devours, we had a bug where you can field 4 Maws and each could cast once. THAT’S what was fixed.

Ohhh yeah that needs to be fixed, lol. I was not fortunate enough to get maw on console, did on pc though. I spent around $30 on gems trying to get that sucker! lol Now though after the update on pc, I don’t use him. (even though I think he’s still a good troop)

Just beat this team today. (4) Mythic level 20 triple traited Great Maw’s. Swapped out my usual invade team to Maw myself and mopped em up… carefully
