I honestly think the Fire Bomb needs the “Burn an enemy” or “Burn all enemies” mechanic…otherwise it’s useless to call him a Fire Bomb.

So none of trolls use yellow mana…

Slightly interesting…

Well sacrifice a troop to get mana… don’t we have princess elsp doing exactly this? And you don’t lose a troop after the first turn

They are only a common… but even a 25% chance to summon another bomb on cast would be cool… 🤔

I was about to say exactly this - Princess Elspeth is _cooler_ for a reason. She ain’t no commoner plebeian. 😉

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Elspeth:  
_“Indeed, clearly, these Fire Bombs have, like, no cool shoes at all! They don’t even have, like, feet! But, like, maybe they would make some nice firework to illuminate that shiny new handbag I had Tass fetch me! So, Tass, I think I need some of these… what were they called again? No matter, go get them for me! I want fireworks, like, now!”_  
And this is how all forests around Silverglade burned down.

Yay cool stuff. Well, cool as in fiery…

On the subject: how come Infernus can be burned? Isn’t he like the ultimate elemental embodiment of fire?

I’ve updated the troop.

> Burning Fist (12 Blue/Purple): Double the number of Red Gems on the Board. Then create 3 Red Gems. \[1:1\]

> **[Fire Bomb - Troops - Gems of War Database](https://gowdb.com/troops/6457)**
>
> Implosion (4 Red): Explode 4 Red Gems. Deal \[Magic + 5\] damage to a random enemy, and destroy myself.

And Flame Troll uses Arcane Plains, not Arcane Spirit.
