**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
This has only happened once but I haven’t played with potions. Using my team of 3 Eye of Arges doing an e12 battle in Khetar the opponent made blue potions. Then matched, and expanded as if to explode but froze. After I made my move, they exploded. I think there’s a timing issue with the potions completing their action and the Eye of Arges making their doom skulls.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Not often. You need to have timing right. And I never noticed it happening until this troop, Eye of Arges.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Good luck, but I think you need to get potions made and matched before your move. I’m continuing to try and make it happen but it’s tricky to do.

I think I’ve seen “delayed Potion Gems exploding” from time to time, but this will be something we NEED video (not just a static screenshot) to verify with.

I’m done playing for the day myself, but this sounds like a fun experiment to test for. I’m going to go do a few Explore runs and if I find anything interesting I will edit with more details.

Hello 🙂

@AmazonJax  
Thank you for the screencapture.

Especially if the bug seems inconsistent, like this one - If you are able to send any screen recordings/video footage of this issue, it would greatly help as well!

In the meantime, can you please provide me your Invite Code?

AMAZONJAX is my invite code. I also play at 4x speed. I’m sure that adds to the complexity.
