**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Three identically yellow missiles: Sunbolt Javelin, Javelin of War and Thunderbolt. Three identical effect: true damage to the random enemy. Three identical mana strengths. Predicable cost progression: 9-11-12 mana.

Why the most expensive and most rare one also is the weakest?

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Noticed it right now.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Look on the screen.

Technically, the epic one does 5 extra scatter damage, gives you 4 life and summons a lightstorm. So it does do more total damage than the others.

But I agree that it’s weird and counterintuitive.

Rare weapons received a balance pass over in update 4.5, Ultra-Rare weapons received a balance pass over in update 4.8. If they ever do a balance pass over for Epic weapons the damage progression should look okay again.
