So far Draco is not an issue and has a similar mechanic.  
That new weapon that transforms also is somewhat an insta kill and we don’t see it (it’s so fun with Ironbeard or a Dragon Cruncher)

Just dropping by again to confirm that her “with a 25% chance to destroy them” check is again separated from the main spell and thus due to way things that target specific positions work in Unity can kill a troop and then instantly destroy another.

**Knowing** that the target lock bug exists, and the description, in no uncertain terms this time, shows that it is intended to deal lethal damage to the _same_ target, why not make it deal 2000 extra damage if the “25% random” condition is met? Unless it is just meant to pierce barrier, and if that is the case in which case, why does it need to do that? Other forms of single instance lethal damage (Assassinate, Bullseye, DRACOS Disentegrate, even Deathmark activation) have historically been blocked by barrier, except same team targeters, which employ a different method of either damaging or dispelling the target before applying the lethal hit to make sure it gets through. And even if it _does_ need to pierce barrier, for whatever reason another logical workaround would to simply have the 25% rolled _first_ and the condition trigger _two_ effects, a “dispel” or single damage hit processed _before_ any damage is applied, then the normal spell hit (+conditionally 2000 if the previous random condition was met). Or heck, implement it as a four way (or 75/25 weighted) OR spell in the code alone, submerge other allies, then: deal normal damage OR (if necessary dispel/1 damage to break barrier then) deal lethal damage.

I know a _proper_ fix to the entire broken slot targeting mechanic for Unity is going to take time to make the sure the fix doesn’t break the entire game worse (or if it is even worth fixing), but can we at least have a workaround applicable to new releases like this so they aren’t broken in some way out of the gate?

Im glad that people are focused on the Lethal damage, because that Bonestorm is silly strong with an exploder.

I just banged up azura, leviathan, scylla and merlion and am surprised to see its performing pretty well in defence. Not really tried her on attack though.

This is the team I’m trying out now:

Hero with thingamabob  
Scylla  
Valkyrie  
Krystenax

Use Valkyrie to load on blue gems, submerge allies with Scylla, then thingamabob does 30 damage to 3 enemies based on 2 submerged allies. Krystenax there as backup for blue mana in case hero or Scylla go down

With the rarity of event keys, opened my first set of 10 and there she was. It’s nice when new troops come cheap 👍

Been having some exploding fun with:

Gorgotha  
TDS  
Scylla  
WorldBreaker

Getting an explosion board clear with a BoneStorm in effect really piles on the extra dmg.

50 event keys and no Scylla. Yup, GoW-life as usual for me.

121 event keys one at a time. 2 Kraken’s, 0 Scylla. So frustrating–especially the Krakens.

Well you know what they say. For some it comes easy, but if you don’t have innate Scylla, best get Kraken.

30 keys and got just what I needed: 1 Kraken so I could ascend to Mythic and have 2 left, plus 1 Scylla!

On another note, ya’ll will hate me - went in for a kraken, I don’t have any kraken, and got a Scylla. 🤔
