If sting bat kills 2 enemies with it’s spell, does it create 2 portal gems, or 4? Probably doesn’t matter much either way, since it can’t explode them, but just curious. ---

These troops look awful. If they kill an enemy create daemonic portals. Now the enemy has an open slot, it’s their turn and there are daemonic portals on the board. What could possibly go wrong… ---

Do they both need to explode purple? ![1000003708](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/f/3fd974be908dce3d3ec941d12cb77e397c9398bd.jpeg) ---

Oh but it has less magic so it explodes less and it’s coloration is different so yay _ **sarcasm** _ ---

We need more exploding weapons that create storms associated with one of their colors (ocea’s tome, mountain crusher, etc.) They help make Underspire easier and just overall usefulness for kingdom restrictions in pvp. Or maybe the devs want us to waste time and think about ridiculous team compositions.🤦‍♂️
