**Platform, device version and operating system:** Windows 10 x64 **Screenshot or image:** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/9/f974e9e191f41f09a781e0c013e1736d2402b295.jpeg) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** Sometimes summoned troop get enlarged shield number. Like this Thief which was summoned by Nightweaver trait. Observed also from resurrected Phoenix and Infernal King (both - on enemy side, so side doesn’t matter). If shield changed (diminished or added) then numbers normalizes. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** About the same amount of time as sudden softlock on enemy transformation. 2-3 weeks, I suppose? **Steps to make it happen again** Summon troop. Sometimes. ---

This also happens on Switch (720p handheld). I guess that under normal circumstances, when a number gets buffed it pulses to a larger font size for a second, but under specific conditions the larger font size sticks until the number changes. I have videos of a few incidents, I just need to find them… ---
