What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I expect after the 5.5 update the hero affected with Lycantrophy and the game still runs, not the case, this feature is still broken.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Since 5.4 update, still happening on 5.5.
Steps to make it happen again
Choose a PVP battle and cast Essence of Evil on the HERO.
Or use troops that inflict random status effect and hope for hero to be affected with Lycantrophy.
Devs. Just do everyone, including yourselves a favor. Leave. Lycanthropy. Off. Of. Essence. Of. Evil.
I flat guarantee that far more people will prefer Essence of Evil that way. Consider it a “legacy” weapon.
I hope it is fixed completly. I lost yesterday a ticket for the delve, because the Eldrazhi troop triggered Lycanthropy on the hero and it was triggered.
It was the first fight, but nevertheless it is annoying.
I don’t know if this was already obvious, but you don’t need EoE to have this happen. Anything that can cast Lycanthropy on hero will soft lock the game. In this case I could retire from the battle, but couldn’t move anything on board or cast spells.
Update on this for you, we have deployed a hot fix which removed lycanthropy’s ability to be triggered in the game until we fix this issue. (This is across the whole game, not just EoE.)
Agreed. A good chance to remove it from negative statusceffect pool and leave Lycanthropy to dedicated troops that have been designed with this gimmick in mind.
