That’s true, but they are still only four red

Flame Troll makes more sense as Purple/Yellow tbh…  
I mean, what does the Blue part even referencing?  
… that under every fiery heart is a blue soul crying in the corner? Wut?

Given the mistake that happened with the troll needing the Arcane Plains (purple/yellow) traitstone, it would seem like maybe it was supposed to use exactly that combination at first and was then changed. Though honestly, I can’t say why…  
…maybe he’s feeling blue because the other Trolls make fun of his nose? Who knows…

Sooo, about the Fire Bomb. I bought a bunch this morning and didn’t realize it only said x1 instead of x3 like normal. So, am I just SOL on the Fire Bombs or is there a way to get the extra two I missed out on each time?

As for the Flame Troll, thankfully, I noticed the Plains error before I traited him and I’ll just wait for the fix on that, but I’m kind of irritated about the Fire Bomb.

I would send in a support ticket. They are generally pretty good about making stuff like that right.

Part of the reason (if not all of the reason) it was changed from Yellow-Purple is that Hellcat has that color combination and has the same function.

Yeah but it could be red/purple or yellow/red it would be better imo

Would you want the troll to eat its own color?

I don’t see the current colors are particularly thematic, but you can probably hand-wave any color combo for any troop somehow.

If you have ol red balls traited 2/3 with arcane plains are you stuck using those? I was kind of hoping to finish it off with spirits.  
I didn’t realise I’d have ended with so many spirits and was possibly a bit hasty using 8 plains.  
So anyone know what the craic is?

Have they updated the troop to use Spirits now? If so, I’d think you can probably finish him off with those.

If you’re regretting using the Plains (or hit upgrade before you knew you were using them), I wouldn’t be shy about submitting a support ticket to see if they would refund the ones that you used and deduct 8 Spirits to replace them.

I’ve only spent traitstones for the first trait, I’m waiting for the colours to Change. They should just put the troop up for refund.

I really think the last troll should have had yellow mana … having six trolls and zero that use yellow mana is too unbalanced. I know this game isn’t meant to be fully balanced, but still.

He’s awesome. I love infernus and he’s far more versatile than a prop for elemaugrim.
