Perk ‘Empowered portal’ promises 15% skill bonus, but it gives only 3%

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
permanent

Steps to make it happen again
get empowered portal and check its effect

I honestly couldn’t tell what’s considered a bug and what’s not considered a bug with the Empowered Portal Astral Spire node. I don’t know what the rules are for calculating stats on a summon troop.

I can show some examples about the stat oddities though..

This lack of stats thing isn’t the only issue I’ve run into with Empowered Portal.

There’s also a bug when I’m supposed to get troop hero reduction but it doesn’t actually work.


But once I’m in battle it doesn’t register it .

If it’s already reported, Great!

I’m also not sure the perks are all working correctly. I had 99 damage to all enemies on my Orchidius. When I bought the +1 magic to all blue troops perk in the astral spire, I was really excited to see it go to 100. But the spell still does 99 damage. What’s happening here?
