The last note I have is that there is a fix in the process of being tested for the following

> [@Jeto](#):

> where the Gnomes are appearing at a very low level (level one) with some stats being at a much higher level than they should have, with the boosted bonuses. Which is why they are appearing extra difficult, as opposed to just a normal level of difficulty for when opponents are in encountered in those scenarios where they are boosted (Blood Frenzy).

~~As for whether the GAP gnomes would be excluded from the buffs applied in these battles, I don’t have an answer yet~~

Just got an answer, the GAP Gnomes will be boosted, like all other troops, in Blood Frenzy battles. But once the fix for the bug is released, they should no longer appear so insanely difficult. They will be at the intended difficulty level, like any other opponent is, when they are boosted in Blood Frenzy battles.

I am not 100% sure if that fix has made it into 8.9 which releases next week, as I am also still awaiting updated patch notes.
