Originally published at: [http://gemsofwar.com/double-rainbow/](http://gemsofwar.com/double-rainbow/) The rainbow snake is here… **New Troop: Couatl** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/e/e7da472b3367732c3a32ce0ab68e019e8c794aeb.png) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/blog_couatl.png) High up in the Dragon’s Claw mountains live many creatures, from the largest Dragons, to their earthbound servants, the Dragonians, to the tiny-but-deadly Dragonmoths. One very curious creature found there is the Couatl, a winged snake with brightly-colored feathers. It’s quite reclusive in nature, and even though the Dragon’s Claw was discovered 2 weeks ago, it’s only coming out of hiding now. **New Troop: Dragonian Rogue** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/6/61018fe2d8eae83ebaf8192d91ecce76c5a2c633.png) ](http://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/blog_drogue.png) Not all Dragonians are as noble and dedicated as Viskandarius-y-Amon! In fact, a Dragonian’s role in society depends upon its color; Visk is bronze, and thus he is a warrior & guardian. As for the black Dragonians though, they’re not a very savory bunch… Please note this Event only applies to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

Really like Couatl. Seems like a troop with a lot of potential. ---

Would be sweet if I could cast Dragonian Rogue and Elwyn at the same time. Throw in Hero with Warden’s Gauntlets, and only a red troop is missing. ---

I don’t think I will like that first troop creating gems already can completely backfire on you (especially since they can just overwrite gems of the color they are creating - which I find ridiculous. That simple change would make a world of difference), but it’s also a completely random color, too? Too much randomness. The second troop seems interesting! I’ll be trying that one out ---

Both of these arcanes are used on a _bunch_ of good troops too. I see a lot of glory being spent next week. ---

> [@Mekkalyn](#): > > especially since they can just overwrite gems of the color they are creating Would love to see something like “Destroy X random gems; spawn (insert color) gems/skulls in their place.” Even if you don’t get a match, and completely set the enemy up, you at least get a few mana/damage. ---

Yes I’m trying to work out if more gems get destroyed if you start the X in the centre than if you chose closer to an edge. ---

Center will destroy more gems, because of the longer diagonals. An edge gem will destroy 8 gems, regardless of which edge gem it is. A gem from the center 4 will destroy 14 gems. ---

That was my thought process too. 👍 If you pick a gem on the edge of the board you lose 50% gem destruction. ---

You don’t choose where the X goes, it takes takes from each corner to the middle ---

When I’ve fought Dragonian Rogue in the quests, the X was off center on both diagonals. ---

That’s correct. The spell has no target. I think it’d be more fun if it did, but the trade-off is that it’d destroy less gems. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/double-rainbow/12917.md?page=2)
