It doesn’t look like any other skill removal trait (a strong pulse to the skill icon) or like mana burn’s lightning effect. It doesn’t look like anything, just you check the numbers and they’re lower. If that’s intended, it’s a very bad design. ---

One of Kraken’s processes also causes causes the next skull hit to not have an animation. Not sure which yet. I think it might be the devour missing. ---

As it was explained to me, the Mana Burn issue is a result of layering visual effects or something. If there aren’t any for Tentacles then it might be something different. ---

Hey guys, We’re going to take a look into the Kraken trait once we get to the office (we’re currently out having dinner). ---

We’ve been investigating the issue with Tentacles hanging the game if it kills the final enemy troop, and we’ve found that it’s a problem in the game client, not something that can be hotfixed (I’ve already fixed the bug in the codebase that caused it). So… We’re going to rework that trait for now… if everyone likes the new trait, we’ll probably leave it in place. If you prefer the old one, we’ll switch back to that when 2.2 releases. ```auto TENTACLES Gain 2 points to a random stat at the start of every turn. ``` (I kind of imagine more and more tentacles coming out of the water with each new turn) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/0/0dfa64178ee1136f11ee22e51bce62d3a713a200.png) ---

Even getting 2 to all stats at the beginning of every turn wouldn’t be much better compared to previous trait 😕 ---

> [@Jainus](#): > > Though the old trait was too strong… It should be 2 damage AoE not 3, to be comparable to poor old Moloch… How about giving it a spin and seeing how it goes before passing judgement? 😉 with 2 dmg there’ll be little point in using kraken at all, with 3 - you can build decks around it. I’m not saying 3 is a sweet spot - but it might be, I’d first like to see how it goes.
