**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?** My opponent in GW triggered a 4 gem match with a fully traited Kraken that was not stunned (not even stunnable due to trait 1) and failed to do stat damage to any of my troops. This happened several times during the battle, the tentacles ability never fired. **What are the steps to make it happen again?** I only had one battle against a fully traited Kraken, but I would expect it to happen every time. **Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!** Sorry, no screenshots or video available, hopefully the text is sufficient. ---

Was it first slot and did another troop on the team transform? Transforming a non-first slot troop would once upon a time make all of the first troop’s traits non-functional. Not sure if this was ever fixed. ---

It was second slot, and no units transformed. I sadly do not remember the units that were in the fight with it. I’ll pay more attention next time. Wasn’t expecting the bug (obviously) and didn’t record all of the information I should have, sorry. ---

I’ve had this happen too. Several times using kraken. Like It wouldn’t trigger for some reason, then in the same turn I’d have another match 4, and it would. Didn’t happen too often though. First couple of times I just thought I was mistaken
