  • The issue is caused by a problem in the game code or files

  • Guild Guardians available in Gold Chests
  • Attempting to transform an Impervious Troop, gives it full Mana instead

Technical Issues:

  • The game crashes
  • You receive an error message
  • There’s a connection issue or lag

Examples of Technical Issues:

Bug report template

Platform, device version and operating system
e.g. Android, Samsung Galaxy S8, Nougat

Screenshot or image
If you are on a console simply take a photo using another device. A video is preferred. Try uploading to YouTube Privately.

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened
This is simply what you were trying to do and what happened instead. Example:
‘I was trying to start an Arena battle, but Gems of War loaded Broken Spire quest instead!’

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Was this a once-off bug or has it been a consistent issue? Does it only happen after doinga particular game mode?

Steps to make it happen again
Do you know how to make this happen? Sometimes there are certain steps that can lead to a problem that may not be obvious!
Example: I lose once in the Arena.
I then exit to the world map.
I then tap on Broken Spire on the map and then tap Arena.
Broken Spire’s quest loads instead of the Arena


This will allow us to identify your issue and help you as quickly as possible, while also allowing other players to help you when we’re not around. For more information on why we have this process check out this post.
