**Platform, device version and operating system**  
PC

[http://tinypic.com/r/5xrdqd/9](http://tinypic.com/r/5xrdqd/9) - Unit alive when it should be dead.  
[http://tinypic.com/r/2m7ueci/9](http://tinypic.com/r/2m7ueci/9) - No rewards from dead and alive treasure gnome after battle.

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened**  
I was trying to win a PvP battle and get rewards from a gnome but what actually happened is the gnome took damage, but stayed in play instead of dying, I proceeded to win the battle as normal, but received no rewards from it. In normal cases the unit stays in play and I win and get rewarded as intended.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
It can happen randomly with any unit, normally it happens so quick I am unable to capture screen shots of this happening, but this time I was fortunately able too.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Play any game mode that involves combat - Although it happens most often in PvP.

This has already been reported as Ghost Troops.  
It happens when you use troops that explode gems.  
Like Infernus, Dragon Soul, Divinia, Gorgotha, etc.

Hi @Nyxious

Thanks for your report, sorry this happened 😕

1. Are you using WiFi or Ethernet connection?
2. Can you remember whether or not the ‘ghost troop’ was killed (or may have been killed) by either  
A Doomskull match  
A spell that ‘Explodes’ gems which targeted a Doomskull?  
Any other Troop that casts an explosion spell.

Are you often playing with this team when the issue occurs?

please also check your mail

I was told by the team this issue would be fixed in the next update(that was a couple of updates ago lol)…When it happens,you get reduced xp and when it is a gnome,no rewards…It seem to be happening more frequently now
