Platform, device version and operating system:
Lenovo TB-8704X, Android 8.1.0
What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
Haunted Guardian’s spell says: “Explode Gems in a 3x3 cross”. So I expected destroying 21 gems: a block 5x5 without corner gems.
But it doesn’t work this way. It simply destroys 3x5 block, like a vertical bar 1x3 explodes.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Just since the troop appeared in the game.
Steps to make it happen again
Take Haunted Guardian in a battle, charge it with mana and cast in a clean area without Domskulls. You’ll see 3x5 block destroyed.
Having said that, I normally reload game after reset, but I have now re-restarted game, troop spell is working correctly.
And next few casts - sometimes works as advertised (21 gems), other times 3x5 (15 gems).
This is working as intended. A cross is a +
For the corner Gems to be exploded it would need to be an “X” like on Dragonian Rogue
or a “5x5 block” (like Formorian and Obsidius)
A few people did seem to get the 3x5 block destroyed, though, which seemed a bit strange (seen in Zubs’ screenshot, without the sticking-out side bits):
