What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
After some time in this battle I discovered that I cannot directly gather green mana for my hero. Maybe others too, but they killed earlier than I noticed the problem. Indirect mana gathering (with witch gems and explosives) works as expected, but any green match-3 simply gave me nothing.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
First time seen that.
Steps to make it happen again
No idea. Never encountered something like this, and I fought with this team quite frequently (and fought like 10-20 battles in the very same zone today).
First time we’ve ever heard of something like this, too!
The stock explanations should be Silence or Mana Drain, but either of those are easy to check for based on the enemy team composition, and the surviving Troops (the enemy Sunspear, Prismatic Orb, and Finesse) have no relevant abilities.
Your Hero seems to be equipped with Essence of Evil (literally the only 15-Mana solo Green weapon) but what is their Class? I don’t believe it’ll provide a clue per se, it’s just something not already apparent in your screenshot.
If you have the ability to record video (especially if you can use background recording, so you can capture video retroactively) please give it a try.
(Essense of Evil, Queen Xochi, Bladewing, Echecatl)
Battle was in Bay of Stars, with “Stryx” limit.
I cannot provide video, sorry. First at all, I have no idea how to do that, and I seen this the first and only time in my plays anyway.
Hmm, on the other hand, most of my teams are build around blasts, destroys and 4x, so actually it could be more often, and I missed it. I’ll keep an eye on it in the future.
I’m currently going through this right now, although I have no idea how it triggered.
I grabbed a 4 match of brown and get a whopping 2 mana. Most of my gem matches aren’t giving me any mana except my banner color (or is it because I’m grabbing Blue mana?) .
My Wand of Stars turned into a “Sword of Heroes” but is still functioning as a Wand of Stars. (Although, using the Curse side still outputs the Bless side… so that half doesn’t work.)
