📰 Bury yourself in the sands of time, by reading the **Weekly Feedback Report**! 💎🏜💎 * * * This weeks troops are like Dr. Jackal and Scaly Hyde. The **[Anubites](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6210)** would build useless construct walls to keep enemies away from their homeland. Like the Trump’s of the desert. They also build defenses for their allies by removing all the weapons on the board, getting kinda topical, aren’t we? These hound-headed warriors will feed off the deaths of their foes, and are better suited to protecting than attacking. While on the other hand **[Settites](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6211)** build walls to crash them down upon intruders. Not afraid to get their hands dirty, the protective lizards are master trap-setters as well as settlers. Should one of these nasty reptiles decide to invade your home, town, or kingdom, they’ll be quite difficult to stop. That’s not all though! As the time draws every nearer, armageddon grows ever stronger! While **[War](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6197)** only takes 1 less mana to charge, making him tied with a certain sand worm. **[Famine](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6199)** has been greatly boosted in power! Requiring 5 less mana to fire, can deplete 3 from a random skill per turn, and now deals almost twice as much spell damage as previously! The hunger strike is on! Looking to trait that **Abhorath** , **Psion** or **Queen Mab**? Ranked PVP has got what you’re looking for this week! The top 1,000 players at the end of the week will earn an _[Arcane Spirit Traitstone](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops?color1=blue&color2=purple&sort=byRarity)_! But if you’re not a fan of the competitive scene, you’ve got two consolation prizes this week! The _[Arcane Mountain](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops?color1=brown&color2=yellow)_ and _[Arcane Forest](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops?color1=brown&color2=green)_ hitting the reward chests this week! Everyone knows about **[Gorgotha](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6075)** and **[The Great Maw](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6160)**, but have you considered **[Gob-Chomper](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6173)**? Strong recommendation to pick up enough for that **[Soothsayer](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6139)** and **[Archon Statue](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6030)** you got laying around too. If you’re looking cheaper for the Mountains, **[Dust Devil](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6156)** and **[Rakshanin](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6195)** are good alternatives. But if you’re wanting something expensive, **[Famine](http://ashtender.com/gems/troops/6199)** ain’t gonna feed himself traits! * * * 🗞 It’s no mirage, the [**Patched Feedback Report** (2.0)](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/its-time-again-for-the-2-0-patched-feedback-report/8837) has finally appeared! ❇🏝❇ # _Match you next time!_ --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/guardian-of-the-sands/8878)._
