We should start a pool where the person who guesses what the troops _actually_ do wins the pot! ---

Another dragon/centaur. Is this something they are making a thing in the GoW universe or is it a particular interest of someone? ---

Who is shaming? I’m just curious. It would explain why those get more troops than say for example wargare/mech. ---

> [@Stix](#): > > Who is shaming? I’m just curious. > It would explain why those get more troops than say for example wargare/mech. It was a joke. The punchline’s implying that dragon/centaur is actually someone’s “particular” interest, with the quotes around “particular” implying it’s a sexual interest. Sort of like the joke, “I’m a half-centaur. But mom says dad was all horse, whatever that means.” ---

Why is the epic troop better than the legendary? 😂 ---

I don’t know how you are comparing them since they are completely different troops. **Matron Dragotani** - Creates 6-14 blue gems - Deals boosted damage to first and last enemies - Has the highest spell damage reduction in game @ 75% **Sylfrostenath** - Deals damage to all enemies - Freezes 1-4 enemies How are you comparing them? o.O ---

‘Matron Dragotani’ as in ‘Mother of Dragons’? ---

Why can’t you compare them? If you play the game long enough, you can approximate each troop’s utility. Offhand, it’s not a crazy sentiment. Sylfrostenath does more total damage per cast, is faster to cast, and isn’t burdened by random gem creation. I don’t think either troop is good for endgame players; it’s very debatable which one is better. ---

Damage mostly And I think anything creating gems randomly is dangerous anymore So much is immune to freeze, I’d likely think you’d create 8 gems most times, and half the time set up the ai hoping u froze a blue troop Not saying either troop is something I’d use But the epic is clearly safer and does more damage at a lower mana cost ---
