Tier 7 came up when @turintuor looked at the length of the scroll bar on Alpheon’s screenshot. Edit: and you already knew that! ---

True. There is a touch of luck involved as well. I’ve lost plenty thanks to rng cascades in favor of the AI. ---

Well, I don’t think it helps this chat to throw around imaginary figures like “tier 7” and “1,000 gems”. Some people are already on the edge of pulling out pitchforks over the factual numbers Sirrian stated. ---

Yup x2 event 1000 gems if no more then 4 tier ---

I think maybe the assumption is that there is another shop besides the boss shop that will also cost gems to gain tiers. Not sure though. I’m still a bit confused by the whole thing. Will probably take me a bit after release to fully grasp it. ---

These gem costs only seem to make sense if you do not have VIP chest access. If you have VIP chest access, it seems to make more sense to save the gems to open VIP chests. ---

I’m still a bit confused by the whole thing. Will probably take me a bit after release to fully grasp it. From the earlier ss and posted notes from the other day, they only implied 1 shop per game mode. ---

In all fairness to those who don’t like the pay for gems to succeed narrative… The game is called “Gems” of War… Not… Win for Free of War. ---

The special troop appears to be only relevant for Shentang week. Outside of Shentang week, it seems relatively useless. It is an epic and you will probably get it via VIP chests once it goes into the drop pool. ---

It is an epic and you will probably get it via VIP chests once it goes into the drop pool. The point is that you won’t be able to use it next week (when it counts) without paying for it in the raid shop. After next week, it probably goes on the pile of unused troops stack. ---

New Troop: Pandaska Guard [[image] ](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog_pandaskaguard-1.png) Closely related to their Urska cousins in the far north, the Pandaska are only found in the highest reaches of the southern mountains where the air is cold and dry, and their favorite food, Bamboori Plants grow in abundance. Here they have a long-standing alliance with the Sky Elves of Shentang, and are often found serving as guards and warriors. The Pandaska… ---

Yeah, but isn’t there also special events that can occur during the other events? I’m not saying there will be shops associated with those special events. Just suggesting that was maybe what the other person was implying. ---
