> [@beeflog](#): > > so here’s a funny bug I just found: Venoxia still shows up in the troop filter list if you select “increase skill points” from the drop-down, even though she hasn’t had that ability for nearly two years! Obviously not a super-high priority, but @Jeto if you want to pass this on to the devs, they might want to audit/update any other troops that have been totally revamped, and improve their process for checking those values in the future 🙄 Well she still has the Arcane trait, which increases her Magic by 1 everytime someone casts a spell on her team. > [@Eika](#): > > …here I come and think there just has been some new nice troop balances at first glance. I didn’t think you would fall for that. On the other hand, I didn’t think I’d fall for it too. ---

The filter is for spell effect. There are many many troops that gain stats from traits which are (correctly) not selected by that filter. Good thought though. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/naughty-nice-troop-balance/67801.md?page=6)
