I didn’t really follow all that either… I have some mixed views on the topic that you seem to be addressing: - a collectibles game needs a large number of things to collect, in our case, troops - GoW was light on the actual number for a long time and is only now reaching normal market trends - and needs more! - gacha only works and only makes a sustainably profitable game if there’s enough variety - that said, more troops need to be usable and more variety in PvP defences is absolutely needed - the incoming weekly events system may help, though we don’t know its full details yet - there’s an excellent thread of buff and balance A-Z taking shape [Troop Buff A-H Thread With Summary](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/troop-buff-a-z-thread-with-summary/16393) that some genius came up with @lyya I agree that hidden bonuses won’t be hidden for long, but I applaud @MadamBambii for trying something new at least, and I do think some extra story-themed or unique synergy bonuses (or penalties) should apply: - for example, Carnex and Sparkgrinder together - Amira should also mana drain Emperor Khorvash (or gain Fast effect if he’s on the enemy team) - bonus for having Tyri, Marid and Jonny Bronze all in together … and yes I realise these would be extra work to code, as they can’t easily be genericised and tabulated… (and yes I know _genericised_ isn’t a word, but it should be) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/just-an-idea-to-talk-about-regarding-garbage-troops/16399)._
