Many of us asked for it, but devs never promised an interim change AFAIR. Presume that there will be knee-jerk outcry and some rage-quits when a favourite brainless autowin troop gets balanced back to normal: with a true fix coming, devs probably don’t want this twice.

This missed some essential Krystaran Bears: - Grizzly Bear - like the brown one, but grizzlier - Koala Bear - small deceitfully cuddly species that gets close and chews off your face (that really happens in Australia, like _all the time_) - Polar Bear - bigger, and white, and known to Wander - Forebear - this one came first ---

I think the Drop Bear sounds like a good troop for next Australia Day > **[Drop Bear](https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/)** > > This urban legend focuses on bush walkers having been known to be 'dropped on' by drop bears, resulting in injury including mainly lacerations and occasionally bites. ---

Lower that multiplier to x2, 1 more mana and I would say that’s a balanced troop. ---

Well since it destroys a random column and damages itself if it misses it can afford to have a higher magic. I just imagine it dropping from high and going splat if it misses. ---

That’s exactly what I was trying to capture in the mechanics. Don’t like @Annaerith suggestion of still doing some damage if it misses. Should hit hard, or hit itself. I look forward to the wheeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuw-crash sound effect it’ll make. Given that its chance of hitting goes down rapidly as battle goes on, I feel the x3 multiplier could be justifjed. @Shimrra you must see DropBears all the time, what do you think? ---

I missed that it was a random column at first and was wondering who would ever let it miss?? ---

Honestly I think a 3x ratio is pretty bonkers. Also, funny as it is, we have a history of hating on troops with obvious downsides like that. Basically its extreme on either end. Sorry 😛 On another note - what happens if the last gem is a skull? ---

I’m guessing that it would count as a miss since no troops have a “skull” colour. ---

The only troop that really has a downside is mummy king and that is just plain bad because it doesn’t have an upside. ---

And Bombot, Sacrifice, Sacrificial Priest, Elspeth could also be considered to have a downside. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/quit-bugging-me/21187.md?page=6) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/quit-bugging-me/21187.md?page=8)
