I’ve opened hundreds of normal chests, but I’ve yet to get it to drop. Am I simply unlucky? BTW I’m on ps4 and have most troops save for a few event troops I’ve missed and some legendary troops. ---

I think it’s not in the chests yet on consoles… (it is for the PC/iOS version) @nex @Mr.Strange could advise? ---

I thought spider swarm was a special ability only creature sort of like goblin summon and not an actual troop card ---

If you “show all” in the troop list with Zul’kari selected you will be able to tell. ---

Correction. The answer is yes it is possible. You just have bad luck with commons apparently. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/f/fe741f8b8e174556723074c9688be425175a3772.jpeg) ---

the Spider swarm was about the 10th troop I have unlocked…I have yet to get any legendaries though…My best find was a GreenSeer from My first gem key ---

I am going to say no it isn’t on Consoles and anyone who DID get it was during a “leak” (sometimes Troops get put into chests by accident, like Summer Imp and Sylvasi). I am basing this on the fact I have opened over 1,000 Gold chests since the update and have gotten 70+ of every Common and not a single Spider Swarm. ---

Spider Swarm has been in chests on console since 3/14. So yes, people should be getting it. > [@DemonicDraco](#): > > no way its supposed to drop but since i know a guy with summer imp I wont disbelieve. Way! It’s supposed to drop! (Only from gold chests/keys, obviously) ---

> [@Mr.Strange](#): > > Way! It’s supposed to drop! (Only from gold chests/keys, obviously) Really? I’ve opened a huge amount of keys and have yet to obtain it. Shouldn’t be overly difficult, as it is a common rarity card. > [@TaliaParks](#): > > I am basing this on the fact I have opened over 1,000 Gold chests since the update and have gotten 70+ of every Common and not a single Spider Swarm. Similar to @TaliaParks, I’d think it would’ve shown up by now. I’ve been able to see it as a troop when using the “Show All” filter, but that’s it. ---

At this rate I’ll have every Troop at Mythic and 0 Spider Swarms 😃 Even though I’m a collector (like to have everything in a game) I can live without Spider Swarm. I won’t be using it in any capacity, not even in Arena. I would say though @Mr.Strange, it’s very odd I haven’t gotten it yet. Maybe it “slipped out” of chests like some other Troops “slip in”? ---

I’ve also opened 1000+ gold chests on XB1 and haven’t found a copy. Statistically, very unlikely. ---
