I’m embarrassed that it took me as long as it did to realize why its number is 1225, lol. ---

Slight grumble about the way these seasonal troops are being made available. Newer players might struggle to complete Adventure Board tasks and miss out on the opportunity to get them. Doesn’t really encourage them to keep playing knowing they will have to open a lot of chests otherwise to get it and probably failing in the attempt. Perhaps this is intentional though? 🤔 ---

Doesn’t really encourage them to keep playing knowing they will have to open a lot of chests otherwise to get it and probably failing in the attempt. Newer players probably are missing a lot more troops than those new ones. If I were a new player i would take Yao Guai over these seasonal troops 10/10 times. 😉
