These Bunnicorns are appearing to override the original troops by way of sacrificing them or something. I’m sure this is to do with the new animation in the 4.3 patch.
Some would remember the complaints when the Leprachaun was the Battlecrasher last time, where he overwrote the existing troops that were the color of the week for snot gems.
This gives you not just 1 additional soul but also the killed troop (if brown) counts towards the total to the event.
Also i thought it gives more of a “Battlecrasher” feel given the Bunnicorn actually kills the troop to take its place than just swapping out.
I dunno, I don’t think the devs planned on battle crasher triggering enemy death trait for you, and ally death trait for enemy. But I don’t think they’ll change it. Unexpected side effect of some other fix.
New defense strategy: (1) use Deathknight Hero, (2) hope it’s replaced by the battlecrasher, and (3) enjoy the wailing/gnashing of teeth as the entire opponent’s team is deathmarked on turn 1.
Is there a way to disable animations? The new potion feature animation hurts my right eye. I try to look away at the start of a match but forget half the time. I’ve disabled the Holiday skull features after a friend told me i could in Dec. Just hope there’s some way to disable those potions…crosses fingers
