What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I used the >> to ascend all troops, expecting that to keep copies on teams safe (as it usually does).
Instead, it used up all extras but they still show on the team I’ve placed them in to keep them safe.
I actually one have one Tesla left, now mythic.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Not going to try and replicate this, but it happened to a guild mate of mine, too.
It didn’t happen before the campaign started. Did the same (with Tesla as well) a few days ago and it worked just fine.
Steps to make it happen again
Will probably happen again when using the “ascend all troops” function, even though copies are on teams. Not sure, can’t replicate it now.
This happened to me with Aziris. I knew because I had two copies of him ( at legendary rarity) in my soul farming team and when I went to play it, notice I had an empty slot and just one copy, which was now mythic. So it pulled a copy of him from my team.
This was fixed in version 5.0. If you still have the issue please let us know.
Please note that only teams saved in your team slots will protect your troops.
Teams in live events and Delves won’t protect Troops.
