Steam on pc ![GemsofWar - Elementalist](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/1/5132e08ac9d5f740c67eff37f930566c95e1d407.jpeg) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** I started the Elementalist Class in the Class Exp event using the Elementalist class in the event fight. I did 6 fights in the Class Trial event and didn’t get any Exp. Then I did a random challenge with the Elementalist class and got Exp - this then opened the Exp up. I did not get the previous 6 fights in the class back tho. You can clearly see in the picture that I have done 7 fights all together with this class, but I only have Exp for 1 fight. I then went back to the Class Trial and did 1 more fight, but still failed to get any exp from the fight. Note: I did complete the class event quests before starting the Class Trial. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** This is the first time it has happened. It appears that I am not gaining exp for the class in the class trial at all. **Steps to make it happen again** I assume because I didn’t do any fights prior to the Class Trial with this class that this has created the bug. ---

Were you using a hero in your team during the class trial? ---

EDIT: Looks like she wasn’t using the hero. ---

OMG. I am so dumb. LoL. Yeah. It worked when I put a hero in the team. ---

But then that shows up another oddity, how can you get exp towards a class weapon without using the hero?? ---

As long as you have a class equipped, it counts towards class wins. It has always been like that. > **[Hero Classes overview: Champion levels and Talents](https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000274756-Hero-Classes-overview-Champion-levels-and-Talents)** > > Hero Classes enable your Hero to have additional perks called Talents and to power-up your Hero with Gem Masteries and Skill Bonuses for their particular Class Type. > Hero Classes provide the follow... ---
