**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I bought the Com-Bat pet, which is supposed to provide x2 bonus to Elementals in Geheron only. The base bonus from Magmapillar (and Moist Owlette, both of which I have at Mythic) is +6 magic. However, instead of the expected +12 magic, it is only +8. This is not merely a visual bug - the bonus is only +8. What appears to be happening is that the pet bonuses are _additive_ (+2) instead of _multiplicative_ (x2). Consistent with how Starry pets work, these bonuses should be multiplicative.

Secondly, the (incorrect) bonus gets applied not only in Geheron, but everywhere that I use 4 Elemental troops. I’m sure I will get excoriated by the community for pointing out a player-favorable bug, but this clearly was not intended and would be addressed sooner or later anyway.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Started when I bought the pet. I also leveled it to 5 to see if I would get +3, acting like some of the additive pets, but it _shows_ x2.25 and _acts like_ +2.25. Happens in every battle and screen where the bonuses show.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Buy Com-Bat, and possibly other new PvP pets?

> Got it, thanks. So, in theory, magic values should be plus 9 in PVP and plus 6 in Krystara. Instead we have plus 18 in Krystara, which would seem like the PVP pet bonus actually was x3 the kingdom bonus. But as you said, who knows? At the very least, it is not working as intended.

Application of the bonus is all over the place, apparently…
