Found a temporary work around: set animation to 1.5

I’ve seen that in PvP and Arena. Also it seems like this issue affects not skulls only. Just after my cast with The Gray King targeting purple, an enemy Zuul has been charged from 0 to full mana with just match of 4 and then 3 gems. No blasts or something else. That’s exactly impossible even with +2 banner and mana surges.

I use x3 speed and it works. x4 breaks it.

@Snooj I went to do a delve on x3 and it was gone just as you said, thanks! It’s a decent speed. But as I’m a bit dumb sometimes, I turned it back to x4 on next delve, thinking maybe it’s gone for good, but nope, it’s still there 🙄 😂

Uninstalling and re downloading the game then using the link account option can fix the issue for some as well made a post on the 5.6 post about this as well
