No worries, my friend, I will ask about the transparency in every single Q&A until it’ll be made better. I had also named it “board transparency” in my original question since transparency can mean a lot just by itself, but I was too wordy again, it seems. ---

I added this one in to give Sirrian and Nimhain an opportunity to explain what the team is working on. No silly answers here! ---

So is it too late to ask new questions? I was going to ask what’s up with the AI dumbing down lately? It’s doing all kind of silly things such as ignoring skulls, ignoring 4+ gem matches, and yet, amazingly, gets crazy lucky cascades. I guess over-all the battles are easier, which can be good… but not so good when you’re hoping your GW defense is performing their best. Not to mention the ignore-skull part pretty much means any skull-spamming defense teams are out the window. 🤨 ---

I think TDS already as a legendary trait: 25% to resurrect, augmented to 65% on defense. It’s just not fully described 😜 ---

> [@Sidousai](#): > > I guess over-all the battles are easier, which can be good… > > but not so good when you’re hoping your GW defense is performing their best. The trick is to make teams that are foolproof to use. 😛 I tried fighting my own team of Forest Troll/Loyalty/Yasmine’s Chosen/Aurora. Guess what Gem color the AI decided to spawn with one of the two color-pickers? Red. No one in that team uses red. And I had been confused why these guys had been performing so poorly… My best team in PVP defense - though not good for GW defense because of duplicates - is Khorvash/3x Penguin. The AI can absolutely not mess this up in any way or form and this is why it’s overperforming compared to the rest of the teams for me. Basically, don’t give the AI troops which have to pick gem colors or target troops for things. Elspeth will target the wrong one. Ysabelle will target the wrong one. Valkyrie will transform the worst kind of color to blue. Even Trolls are dangerous because the AI has no patience with maybe holding their spell for one more round. Give the AI exploders, Mana-Drainers or pure damage dealers. …But yeah, I did notice the 4-match ignoring as well. Maybe they tried to make Goblins smarter (use skill before making the 4-match) and it backfired or something. Sadly it never happens when I need it to happen, but yeah, I notice it before. Ignoring skulls is a good thing for the AI - because I like(d) to skull-bait too much - but ignoring 4-matches is not. ---

You can still skull bait after attack is reduced to zero too. Been using the War Hound this week (yes, sometimes I just do things). And the computer will attack over and over with zero attack. ---

I guess i will need to ask my questions during the stream since you ignored them all ---

Once I stop doing PVP, my defense doesn’t get listed anymore. Meaning I get tier one on Mondays, I get like 30+ defense battles also in the meantime. Then I stop. The defenses stop. I do GW, I get 1-2 defense results in in the next 1-2 hours. > [@Rickygervais](#): > > Any new mythic weapon soon? Was answered last Q&A.

Salty said before that while there is no date set, this will very likely be done again. ---

I’m currently looking for that answer because I am 99% sure it was answered on the forums. I woke up like two minutes ago after only two hours of sleep, don’t make me rush. 😛 I’m totally asleep still. ---

Found it. > [@Mana shield immunity to mana drain + mana burn](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/mana-shield-immunity-to-mana-drain-mana-burn/33763/4): > > We’re still investigating it. Nothing to really mention at the moment, but it’s still a possibility at this stage. > > (Again no promises, but we are looking into it). …This post was made in response to your question last month. You got your answer. Dude, I don’t want to be mean, but I noticed you asking a lot of questions which were already answered either last stream in a way that made it clear there will be no new development right now (like the mythic weapon one; Nimhain was VERY direct with that one) or you got your forum answer. A lot of people have a ton of questions about things coming up. I like your question about the new game mode and all and would love to see that in the chat. But already-answered questions will just cut the time short for new questions. If Nimhain didn’t give you an ETA or a confirmation, you won’t get any now, either. You know the devs hate ETAs (for good reasons) in general. And with things they’re uncertain they want to implement as well. Right now, they are obviously trying things with the planned raid bosses immune to these things. Doesn’t that already count as “looking into it” for you? To see how it goes if troops can block these things? To be it totally does. ---

Granted, they are not immune to all these things. It’s “_Invulnerable: Immune to Stun, Devour, Death Mark, Mana Drain, Transform, and Lethal Damage._” It was first - I think, I might remember wrong - listed as immune to everything (so like Impervious with Mana Drain, Transform and Lethal Damage on top) and now got changed. But since this is all just spoiler stuff, it will of course get changed around and very obviously Mana Drain immunity is in there, so you can expect that Nimhain is actually doing what she promised you to do - looking into things. Given how we have right now six raid bosses and a lot of raid troops/buildings all having this combination, I think we can assume that we will have plenty of teams to test having no effective Mana Drain against. 😉 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dev-q-and-a-question-gathering-time-questions-in/34941.md?page=5) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dev-q-and-a-question-gathering-time-questions-in/34941.md?page=7)
