Been playing The Dragon Soul as one of my main players but all of a sudden it’s only doing 8 damage and taking 8 gems when cast when before it was always 11. I’ve always used it without other dragons and this is a big drop. I haven’t seen anything offering a refund or that it’s had a nerf anywhere so have I missed something? Thanks ---

Mine is still doing 11 with 1 and 20 with 4. ---

hmmm. I’ve just checked other dragon soul teams and one has destroy 9 gems and on another 8 gems! This is taken out of different teams, he’s L19 fully traited. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/a/7a0fa72d26b7cc0a1aa668ec47358aac4fdc4288.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/2/1249f311cb3b955a0601c040cf44d8c6361fe4dc.png) ---

This is because your famine led team gains +1 magic for having 3 mystic troops. Dragon soul explodes one more gem. Edit: And yes, his card says 8 damage, but if you use it in battle, it should do minimum 11 because he is a dragon and boosts his own spell damage. ---

It’s always had 8 Damage on the card. Since it is a dragon, it automatically gets 1 x3 boost to do 11 points by itself ---

Thanks Brandon & Laenir, I’d missed that. I could have sworn it was stated on the card as 11 before though but after rebooting the game it now is back doing 11 damage again. ---

@viper_35 did you lose guild task magic bonus? someetimes you lose guild task rewards before you can finish them again, so the +3 or whatever magic you would have from it is gone until you finish the task again
