In arena, I thought that summoned troops were supposed to be level 15. However, I recently drafted a Watch Mother and summoned an Ocularen with its spell. As you can see in the screenshot, the Ocularen is level 5, not 15.

Your Watch Mother’s magic is 5, so it summons a level 5 troop - summoned troops cannot be of higher level than summoner’s magic.

I know that’s true for all other modes, but what about Arena? The official Zendesk site, [here](https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205368785-Arena), says that summoned and transformed troops are level 15.

Hello 🙂
Thank you for the screencapture.
For further investigation by the development team, please provide your Invite Code?
Please also clarify the levels of all your other troops used in this Arena battle?

It really means capped at level 15 for summoned troops. They’ll usually have a lower level, otherwise the magic stat would serve no purpose.

This question isn’t really helpful, quite the contrary. Drafted troops are always level 15, for every player. It’s part of your official Arena documentation, linked above.

That makes sense.
@Bramble Please disregard this bug report. It’s just a misunderstanding on my part.

Basically, when you use a summon spell, game looks at two things:
a) summoner’s magic
b) summoned troop’s level in your inventory
and chooses the one that is lowest.
In Arena limiting factor is magic, I don’t think you’d ever get it to 15 without specifically buffing, so summoned troops are low level.
Outside of Arena limiting factor is usually troop in your inventory as you’d get magic over 20 rather easily with advancing your account.
