It releases Barrier Gems instead of Bomb gems.

Yep. The spell produces Barrier gems, not bomb gems.

Yes, I already submitted a ticket.

Was about to post this. It doesn’t just spawn Barrier gems, though, it also converts some gems to yellow. Here are some images of before and then after casting:

I don’t see any unaccounted yellow gems between those two screenshots, the board only got rearranged a bit due to the explosion.

WEEZL-300’s description says that it generates Bomb gems. But when it came up as a Summon from a Adana mech team, it generated Barrier gems. (Summoned by Runegage.)

I have a screencap, but the post won’t let me embed it.

It’s not a big problem, but I thought you’d like to know it needs tweaking.

I’m using Weezl-300. It is also creating barrier gems (used so far against yellow, red, and purple gems). So either the description is wrong or the gem type wrong.

I’m curious how the devs make this blatant of an error, then it obviously goes through NO testing (or it does and nobody GAF) and then they go home for the weekend so that the troop is wrong for the entire Bounty event.

And they want us to spend real money on this??

Bomb gems are alphabetically adjacent to Barrier gems. They’ve made this sort of error before. For example, on release the Dragon Tales weapon boosted off Drifting Sands allies instead of Dragon’s Claw allies, alphabetically adjacent kingdoms.

Maybe it’s a mix up between zero-based indices and one-based indices? That’s a common rookie programming mistake, forgetting to start counting at zero instead of one.

How testing doesn’t catch this is anyone’s guess.

I’m 99% certain that’s exactly what happened.

And they have proved in the past that they don’t play their own game.

It’s a real shame as it might have been useful with bomb gems

Fix should go out tonight at some point. It was already fixed, but was missed getting pushed to live with weekly reset

this troop helps the enemy activate the barrier more :neutral_face:

Yeah, I used it once and immediately realised how annoying it was giving the enemy barrier. Didn’t touch it after that. Like so many required troops and weapons in events, it’s just a lead weight on the team, slowing us down.

Is anyone still having this issue?

the good? news is that its making bomb gems now. the bad news is that we’ve lost the one opportunity to actually use it properly before it gets cycled out for next bounty’s event troop since this troop isn’t all that great.

as much as people make that 50 gem comp joke, this is probably one of those moments where it seems valid
