That actually makes sense. No way is it only 5%. ---

Without looking all over has there been any menion of a bug where the 5% summon on start of turn when it activates tthe harpy it activates gets a chance to activate also? That is the only way i can think of what happened to me happened. I had 2 troops left on other team, only 1 can summon regular harpy. Other was Xochi, other was harpy. Then in 1 turn the top 2 empty spots filled with harpy. Maybe it is supposed to be this way ---

Ninjas are not always something to aspire to. Like now. When we should have had an announcement about changing this nightmare fuel. But they’re being ninjas with their ninja changes. ---

Oh I totally believe you. I just can’t believe they didn’t announce a rather large change. Although it hasn’t made my latest run any easier. 🙄 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/a/ea12cd71d151e4e796985b9ebf542175a6a458e7.jpeg) Time to retreat because this battle will literally never end… 5% chance summon my butt. ---

The key is to take out the summoner troops (kinda obvi) but what may not be as obvi is the legendary doing AOE should be a priority as well. If they all die at once they won’t summon any more troops. This build was able to get it done on the first run at 500 (of course Tier 7, 6 times to give me a fighting chance) but there’s no way in hell I was going to do this faction outside of the event weekend even with a normal delve team. The traits were driving me crazy originally. In fact, I don’t know if I would have bought that many tiers if I knew they were going to nerf it. But I know better than to ask compensation for the Ninja change. Anywell, here’s the build I used… ![Screenshot_20190706-211020](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/f/bf2f195b9cdcf5a618d4bb31cbd84fda23e67a02.jpeg) Also need to make sure there’s a constant storm. And since I had summoning up the wazoo…skull baiting was back in high form. ---

Thanks. That’s actually the same team I settled on. I originally used 3x Bladewing + Harpy Mage for level 250, but thought the AOE from Queen Xochi could help. Unfortunately, I only have hoard level 100 and 1 Tier VII, so the AOE does less than what their Harpy can heal. Update: hey RNG must have started to pity me. 3 Bladewing instakills in a row, and skull damage took out the last troop. I finally beat the 1st room on this level. Now for the boss room. No luck. 3x Queen Xochi AOEs in a row from the boss wiped my team. Didn’t even have a chance to summon in between. ---

Sorry if I bump the topic, but as you already discussed about Harpy’s 3rd trait, I want to clarify 2 things about it. On July 2019, Jzg did a video where Harpy respawns without 3rd trait. But this week, when I tried, they respawn with the 3rd trait. That made the last fight extremely long (more than 2 hours), hopefully I was able to clear level 500 yesterday. Another thing I want to clarify : normally, when the IA summons a troop, its level is something like twice less strong than its current level. For this last fight at level 500, summons should spawn at level 250, but it’s not the case here. So I’m wondering if everything looks normal for this delve. EDIT : at 37:35 on this video, one Harpy respawned without any trait ? :-o [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/0/006d616a6b551db8adb896f6e078e350206e5912.jpeg "Stonesong Eyrie 500 (Without Potions)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-opYF8lmKA) ---

In terms of trait summons or self-transforms (e.g. Nosferatu, etc.), as opposed to spell summons, the level typically remains the same. I can’t remember why or where this was clarified though, sorry. ---

Was this ever addressed? Newly summoned Harpies still have their 3rd trait. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-faction-stonesong-eyrie/56177.md?page=1)
