Imagine you’ve already played through the battle, but wanted to ask - Did you close the game after updating to 9.4? - Did you exit and go back into this explore before starting the battle and the opponent was the same? - Was it that same rarity/level in the battle? ---

I see the same/similar thing. I’ve not touched a delve in months. This is what I see when I go into today’s faction assault event: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/5/756d1b03f65e5ecccaccd9710df63a9d3fd10b03.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/c/7c8a58bf562b8ec5e08be9ec70766806500369ae.jpeg) ---

is it the same if you go into a different Faction? Or is it JUST for the weekly event faction specifically? ---

- Did you close the game after updating to 9.4? - Did you exit and go back into this explore before starting the battle and the opponent was the same? - Was it that same rarity/level in the battle? Xbox, closed the game before updating Delve: it’s giving our Treasure Hoard bonus for that faction to every team on the enemy side of the Delve event. Even moving to the next floor of the Faction event, the enemy teams still have our bonus. It’s happening to all delves, not just the event. ---
