Anyone else not like how when looking at a troop it defaults to the stats page not the spell?

How about an option to just show all and then put tooltips over the other two dimmed cards.

Am Im being stupid with all these questions but …

In PVP/explore how come all your teams dont come up so you can change? It just has one team and you can only pick edit. I see all my teams under the troop menu but how do you change in PVP??

Man, Im not even drinking yet and have issues figuring this out

EDIT: I am a smart college educated person and figured it out on my own, just click the name of the team to collapse and pick another

hopefully with these nerfs, there won’t be a need to buff mana shield to neuter even more troops.

The new features look great! I’m digging both 2x and 4x speed depending on what I’m doing at the time. There is a lot of extra flourish on each animation, though, such as gem converters, spawners and exploders all showing each individual gem spawn/explosion with a slight delay in between each one. Turbo trait animations to get the match _started_ faster regardless is a big step up, but you also can’t cast while they are going anymore. Overall a pretty big win in my book.

Some of the balance changes seem long overdue, but there are a few I’m wondering about.

My Artema costs 16 mana now instead of 15 for some reason? Intended balance change?

I think the Kerberos nerf misses the mark. Its still basically a coin flip for one mana match and now its less reliable on offense. ts not _either_ of these things that makes the team meta, its the mere _chance_ to devour with a single mana surge while having an extremely skull presence if you decide to bring anti-target-devour. Plus, now that it doesn’t always summon, I can’t use it as a “summoner” for guild wars. We’ll have to wait until _next_ week to see if this has any real impact, as there are actually strong event options this week. IMO, balancing RNG on an effect this polarizing by increasing/lowering the chance is simply not ever going to find a “sweet spot” where its balanced. For example, Kraken’s weakness is not that it “only” has a 40% chance to devour, but that it only targets the last troop. Maw’s is high mana cost. Kerberos is the fact that he gets very little out of the 16 mana if he _doesn’t_ devour, but 8 mana for the first attempt is simply too low.

Zephyros, if I’m not mistaken, is featured in the Warlord class unlock. I remember this being battle being actually pretty tough starting out with the starting troops/ a few gold keys / no hero class (since this would likely be your first one). Its not a huge deal once you get some troops and souls behind you, but I’m wondering how this will affect overall accessiblity to classes as part of the first time player experience (since this patch did spend some time on that).

Will veteran players have access to the Blade of Heroes for completionist sake? Its not showing up on my list, even under “show all”.

I personally thought Famine would have been next reviewed _after_ potentially changing mana shield. Or is that off the table now?

I’m also disappointed that Kruarg’s third trait didn’t get changed to something more suitable. Another victim of such a trait not really ever being _possible_ to have a sweet spot. 5% is so low that you can skull an entire team with partial resistance to death and never see an activation. 10% you’d more than likely see an activation, but it would be high enough to be noticeable and draw complaints. Really can’t win with this type of trait.

My main _dislike_ about this patch is the new UI for the troop screen. You need extra inputs to do basically _everything_ you did before. Everything is hidden in a sub menu. To get troops from a specific kingdom, you have to click through every other kingdom alphabetically. I understand some of this was probably done because its how it was laid out for _primarily_ controllers but it really is a pain to navigate compared to before. I’m hoping this particular area can be improved to be more streamlined to meet the needs of a touch/mouse interface user. Reintroduction of the drop down boxes, for one.

It was released with 16 manacost. It had 15 only in the spoiler thread preview, but the release version had one more manacost and a decreased boost ratio.

It was 15 for me before I updated with a x5 ratio, but I hadn’t restarted in a couple days. I guess there was an interim patch that put it at the current version 16 mana before this update.
