[Known Issue] Daemonic Sentinel spell change mid battle

Platform, device version and operating system:
PC

Screenshot or image:

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I was in a Guild Wars battle, and had been using this troop. It had been exploding a column. I don’t have a screenshot, but this video shows the ability I had seen: https://youtu.be/w_MwjM7adaU?t=38

After using it once, the next time in the same battle, the ability changed to that as screenshot.

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
All the time since it flipped earlier.

Steps to make it happen again
Open this troop to see the ability maybe?

I checked patch notes and the balancing changes and don’t see this.

That’s a good observation! :blush:
Can you confirm if you were using this troop on your team?

It’s been reported here for the opponent team: Known Issues : Infinity Plus 2

I had the Daemonic Sentinel on my team. It had done yesterday’s guild wars with that troop, and it was exploding a column then. Today, I used it for 1 or 2 battles, then on the next battle, I had the troop cast its spell at least once. The next time its mana was full and I went to cast it, I didn’t get to select a column and was confused, so I checked and the description had changed. I find it weird in particular that it changed mid-battle.

Sounds like the same bug performing exactly the same way as it does when it is on the opponent team.

Good discovery there so they can fix both issues at the same time. :+1:

Happened to me too and I lost my last battle because of it. No bonus of 500 points and we might lose the day because of that bug, because several others in my guild used the troop too.

@Jeto

I think this happens to the Sentinel used by the enemy. Were they using the red keep?

This happened to me with Giant Sentinel, after fighting in the blue keep.

I don’t recall. It is the current GW event in Blighted Lands though.
I checked today, and Daemonic Sentinel is showing that it explodes columns again, both when I check my troops, and when I choose Guild Wars.
I swapped out the troop for another that fit better with my other troops after the ability got changed, and don’t want to swap it back in. When it switched mid-battle yesterday, I almost lost the battle because the new abilities no longer worked so well with the rest of the troops.

I suspect the bug triggers when the enemy sentinel “casts” due to 15 turns passing.

The Sentinel is changed in my collection, not just in GW mana and spell are different

Compare to a copy of the Daemonic Sentinel as depicted in a YouTube video recorded earlier this week

It definitely looks like it happened mid-event

  • I can confirm this troop was in my team and in my collection
  • I can confirm that the troop is using the new spell and mana cost, not the original
