Great Legendary troop. It’s about time to spare some good designs for the old kingdoms too Sirrian… Namely an old kingdom with some cow/dog people living on it… ---

Looking at the colors on the now- ~~six~~ seven legendary double transformers. Divine Ishbaala - Purple/Yellow, transforms Red-\>Skulls and Green-\>Yellow Forest Guardian - Yellow/Green, transforms Purple-\>Skulls and Brown-\>Green Glaycion - Brown/Purple, transforms Red-\>Doomskulls and Yellow-\>Blue Infernal King - Purple/Yellow, transforms Green-\>Skulls and Brown-\>Red Nimue\*\* - Purple/Green, transforms Yellow-\>Skulls and Red-\>Purple Sekhma - Red/Purple, transforms Blue-\>Skulls and Brown-\>Yellow Wrath - Brown/Yellow, transforms Yellow-\>Skulls and Blue-\>Brown Troop colors (out of 14): Blue - 0 Green - 2 Red - 1 Yellow - 4 Purple - 5 Brown - 2 Spell transform colors (out of 21): Blue - 3 Green - 3 Red - 4 Yellow - 5 Purple - 2 Brown - 4 … sooo we need some more blue in here. (While I’m here, Infernal King and Sekhma are the only ones that do not recharge themselves on cast. Okay okay and Glaycion but that essentially does anyway because Doomskulls.) ---

Cool troops, all-around. Interested in what the Legendary enables, and that shrimp’s a heavy hitter if we ever get a game mode where you can’t use legendary/mythic troops. Which would be pretty rad. ---

Stealing life can setup extra damage for Crimson Bat, the only downside is the fact she transforms Red gems, which C. Bat uses, but on the othe hand she gains mana to create more skulls which will usually compensate for it, the rest depends of the other troops you select. ---

After reading/watching stuff about those (killing) shrimps i have a theory that Atlantis was destroyed by an army of shrimps and no one can find any traces of it because there is nothing left… it’s all dust… wet and salty dust, but still dust… 😱 ---

> [@KYLENATOR001](#): > > I’m saddened this week was not called Siren Says. Other than that an interesting troop. It’s just that all weekly event’s names are refering to its Glory troops, instead of Legendary or Godslayer/Siegebreaker. You suggested name is very cool, but it’s also have no reference to Mantis Shrimp, so they didn’t use that. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/mysterious-fathoms-below/45994.md?page=2)
