Haha - we have a new trait type coming out which applies extra armor to troops of matching typeā¦ āDivine Shieldā will give armor to all Divine troops for exampleā¦ so poor old Celestasia had to get her trait name ābuffedā.
Unfortunately, though we discussed it, we decided not to put her up for refund this week š

Iām not sure itās devour itself taking center stage, as these troops only devour a certain type of troop. Two of which (Goblins and Dragons) are general banes to people at various levels. So these are more just very niche counters, unlike something like Kerberos or Kraken who can devour any kind of troop.
Alsoā¦

Weāll have to see what this change entails as I feel it will affect how we perceive these counter troops.
Also @Sirrian minor typo in the OP

Should be branches Iām guessing.

Terraxis is one of my favorites, and I would dare say criminally undervalued in general. Iām looking forward to seeing how these changes are going to affect my teams with it. At first-blush slightly more loop-able and slightly more damage. I like it a lot!
edit: Isnāt it technically accurate to say you actually _lowered_ the ratio, not increased it?

I think it depends on how you read it? If you look at it as a decimal, then itās gone from 0.333 points of damage per gem to 0.5 points. So if youāre looking at the ratio from a per-gem perspective (amount of damage per gem), itās an increase? (as opposed to the number of gems needed for 1 point)

Yeah, but thatās not how ratios are expressed, not at least as I have understood them thus far in my life. If you want to express damage-per-gem then the ratio would be written 1:2. But as it stands it is gems-per-point-of-damage so its written 2:1
Therefore my original point stands? 3:1 is a higher ratio than 2:1, therefore correct to say lower, no?
Yes Iām being totally pedantic but Iām also genuinely curious.

True, though having both a 1:2 and 2:1 format in the game can be confusing at a quick glance. Hence why we have the x2 format.
Also I think it might come down to the over all result? The overall damage has been increased, so itās easier to understand a āratio increaseā as a buff, and a decrease as a nerf. Not technically correct in pure ratios I suppose, but in terms of conveying the message its better?

But, to those skimming āincreaseā is equated with āmade more powerfulā, which is what happened.

This discussion is truly interesting fellas, absolutely riveting.
Thereās no need for troop release information when you have discussions like this going on.

Wish the Devour would stop being āIncreasedā if anything Dev needs to rethink how to create counter for this that is entire team is protected.
Especially since 50% = 100% / 40% = 100% even 25% =100% if youāre AIā¦but if the troop is on your team 50% = 10% 40% - 0%, 25% =0%.
And there is nothing to really stop random devour easily.
Btw my thought for a counter is called āRegurgitateā š - after troop has been devoured a 10% chance each round that the troop is regurgitated and returned to the team.

I absolutely hate devour and wish that cheesy one shot mechanics were never added. It detracts from the fun of the game.
