Extra Turn Glitch (Mana Surge Glitch)

Gameplay Chat (PC/Mobile)

I have encountered a glitch a couple of times now but haven’t been too sure if it was indeed a glitch or if I had simply mistaken. The glitch is that when using a gem transformer (most commonly on the first turn (via glory or being powered by a 5 of a kind surge)) the 5 of a kind won’t serge (I do get the extra turn but net only 5 manna, not double (10) as I should)

A couple moments ago I got paired against goblins and ran my “Hail 2 the Queen” Mab deck and got a chance to cast mercy turn 1 and screenshotted the result

As you can see (I didn’t get a screenshot B4 the cast cause I wasn’t searching for the bug) all the goblins have 0 mana (confirming that it’s the 1st turn and Valkyrie has 5 mana (off a five of a kind) this has happened to me a couple of times and this was the first time I could get a screenshot as it happened on 1st turn

Have you heard of this before or has anyone else encountered this?

Mana surges are based on Mastery chances for that color, you just didn’t make the roll :wink:

On a match-5, the mana surge chance is 100%. You should never, ever get exactly 5 mana from a match-5.

Is that so? I never noticed a consistent surge on 5 from start of the game. Maybe the documentation/expectation is at fault after all.

Yes, it is so, or at least should be. Either you just didn’t pay attention or there’s a bug. One of those in-game texts (displayed while loading and - up to 1.0.9 - while shuffling opponents) says so, so at least that’s how it was intended.

Always been 100% chance for me

Found it in the game files, specifically common.xml, line 592:
