**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
When a Giant Gem explodes a skull gem, I expect the skulls to damage the enemy. Instead… they don’t.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Every time.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
destroy/match a Giant Gem next to a skull.

The skull damage does happen, but is not displayed. If you check the profile of the attacked unit, you will see, that its points are lower than on the game screen.  
If the “real” life points drop to zero, the troop dies at the end of the current move.

So it is a display error, combined with a calculation delay, but not a complete oversight.

Good to know – are they aware of the display bug? Well, I guess they are now!

>
> Platform, device version and operating system: PC Screenshot or image: [giphy] What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: The giant gem explodes a doomskull, which explodes as well. I was expecting the front opponent troop to receive 5 damage from the doomskull. It didn’t receive any damage at all. Might possibly also affect the amount of mana gained from other gems caught in the explosion, needs further analysis.
