**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
When firing egg thief all skulls when destroyed should cause damage to the opposing first team troop

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Happens to me on average around 1 in every 10 to 15 times

**Steps to make it happen again**  
No special requirements, just equip and keep spamming egg thief and it happens

I think it can happen with any destroy gems spell. I noticed the other day with Bronzelock Pistol.

This is only a visual bug.  
The damage is done correctly only that it doesnt update immediately.  
Next time you deal damage to that troop, it will update.  
For example, they have 10 Armor and 10 HP. You Destroy/explode gems and skulls for a total of 7 damage. Bug comes into play, and troop still shows 10+10. If you then inflict 5 damage, it will 100% of the times update to 8 total HP.  
This happens quite often

This is the correct answer — if you select the troop in question, you can see their health/armor on the card is lower than what’s displayed on the battle screen. It’s 100% a visual bug.
