For anyone playing on mobile either Android or Apple phones? Are you having issue with Essence of Evil after the troop card transforms. I lost two Citadel battles today because the troop transformed. Game would not continue. I clicked on every troop to see if anything was stuck to no avail. The only thing that worked was to retreat thus the two losses. Will need to see if this effects other game modes where i use Essence of ---

If Terror is active and Lycanthropy occur at the same time (it seems).The summoned result is. - EoE gives you 2 or 3 options. A cliffy, a total soft lock or the transformed troop’s turn but board locked. The key to it happening is flashing gems as the move takes place and left after mostly. Oh wait, a 4th option, the missing gem options. I can replicate it with other troops like Midwinter Lycan and Hatir&Skroll. I think the last troop flees then turns via lycanthropy and remains, locking it to be their turn with no options. ---

Okay, I’ve figured it out. When i target the last troop card with EoE and when the troop card transforms is when this issue happens the board becomes locked. This is also happening with my Playstation account.
