[Reported] "Fear Touch" trait description incorrect

Bug Reports

Fear Touch, a trait common to Mydnight Troops, launched with this English description:

But its actual effect is:

This is an important distinction because the former phrasing should apply whether or not Skull damage occurs (due to e.g. Entangled, an enemy Barrier, or “Dodge” traits), but the latter (which appears to be the correct, intended effect) is consistent with every other “Touch” trait (Death Touch, etc).

This can be easily tested with Bone Hound, who has both Fear Touch and Death Touch: either both of them get applied (minus enemy immunities, of course), or neither does.

Not only that but:

Dealing skull damage would mean the troop must be positioned on the team so as to be the troop dealing the skull damage. Matching skulls implies that the troop would just have to be on the team.

Which would be far too powerful (“inflict [status] when matching [gem type]” is reserved for Legendary and Mythic troops) .

Also, I double-checked the description and fixed my OP to reflect that. Seems I forgot a pronoun…
