My Dragotaur destroys a row and give 4 attack and armour to all dragons allies, boosted by yellow gems destroyed, with the rate of x2. But when destroying 3 or more gems, the bonus given is just wrong. With 2 gems destroyed, the bonus given is +8/+8 With 3 gems, the bonus is +10/+10. What kind of math is used in this case? ---

Firstly, there’s a mistake in your post - Dragotaur destroys a column not a row, as you have written. Secondly, would you provide screenshots illustrating your case? I checked it just now and it seems to be working as expected for me. Before destroying 4 yellow gems in the rightmost column: ![before](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/e/dea3fd58b44301f145fc3edd9be0e59bbfa87621.jpeg) After - 56+4x2=64 stats given ![after](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/0/809c5f94b457ce305e6fde31462b00de2689d919.jpeg) Before destroying 3 yellow gems in the second column: ![before3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/4/5408e8fcc57245a785b67d5cbabb99032d25f8c1.jpeg) After - 56+3x2=62 stats given ![after3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/4/f40a197863150dcf58e54efd06aa7cf27881dce7.jpeg) ---

Learn some basic math! With two gems the stat gain is 8 which is 4 base + 2x2 boost with 3 gem, 4 base + 3x2 = 10 ---

The bonuses are worded quite poorly. It took me a while to work out as a new player that “x 2” really means “base + (y x 2)” where y is the variable in question (in this case number of yellow gems). I have always found it quite confusing and mathematically imprecise. ---

Oh this is even an easily comprehendable bonus. Sometimes it is given as ratios like 3:1 sometimes you can see bonus x100 where it not means any sense. Delve chest treasure multipliers are the worst!
