When did it begin happening?** It has been happening to me intermittently since the troop was released, in the Class Trial. Perhaps 1/10 times. I have not yet discovered a pattern. I may have gotten extra turns I wasn’t expecting in other situations, but this was the most obvious. **Steps to make it happen again** Cast Natureborn Warden in the Class Trial, with unknown other conditions. It pains me to report an issue that is helping the players for once, but I would really like this game to be close to bug-free. ---

Whoops, I posted the two screenshots out of order. ---

Now that I look again, I wonder if this has to do with the new elemental storm being active? That’s my best guess so far. ---

It’s due to the Gems created by “Born of…” traits forming a 4+ match before the start of your turn. It’s essentially a resurfacing of this bug (free, extra turns due to either Potions of Explosion or ‘Omen’ traits): > [@4.4 Update Patch Notes](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/4-4-update-patch-notes/56065/1): > > _Omen Traits_ > > These traits will now give mana to the correct team at the start of battle. They will also no longer cause 4+ Gem matches to give an extra turn at the start of battle. - [Inexplainable extra turn](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/inexplainable-extra-turn/55847) - [Enemy got mana from my omen trait and I got a free extra turn](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/enemy-got-mana-from-my-omen-trait-and-i-got-a-free-extra-turn/56489) - [Extraturn on match 3 and skipping extraturns](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/extraturn-on-match-3-and-skipping-extraturns/51291) (I think the internal bug report may have been linked to this one) > [@New Kingdom - Nexus](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-kingdom-nexus/72622/38): > > Extra, extra turns are possible from the new 'Born of…" traits when they lead to a 4+ match at the start of your turn, similar to the ones that occurred when Potions of Explosion and Omen traits were introduced. > > I.e.

Aha! That makes some sense. Now I can try to work around it until they “fix it.” ---

My video of the extra turn itself, not the “Born of…” Gems making a 4-match beforehand (I’m on mobile, so don’t have the ‘previous 30s’ capture feature, and cbf recording multiple battles to try catch it): ![ezgif-2-fa032bf84a43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/a/6aaf373ae64dbdc094692c9ab8d651710bc9c8db.gif) ---
