Description:
A faction’s “Best delve with no casualties” stat doesn’t actually track the # of Troop deaths during a run. Instead, it seems to only check whether your surviving troops (after the Boss room) match your initial Troops (before room #1).
This creates several scenarios where the game will incorrectly award (or fail to award) a “no casualty” delve:
- If you are Delving with a Summon team, as long you can resummon a slain troop before beating the boss room, you will get credit for a “no casualties” run despite obviously taking casualties along the way.
examples
- Silver Necropolis, Emperinazaar, and/or Mirrored Halls factions
- Spirit Fox + Black Beast + Spiritdancer team
- etc. (potentially any team with a fixed summoner)
- Inversely, if you start the Delve with an empty slot and summon a Troop, you will not get credit for a "no casualties"delve (presumably because this Troop was not present in your initial lineup).
example
- I delved Tinker Town (Lv.120->130) with a team of: Finesse, Ethereal Sentry, Cedric Sparklesack, (empty slot)
- I finished with a Bombot in slot #4 (never cast never exploded).
- I received only +20 Renown (for the +10 max Delve level) when I should have received at least +30 Renown (for no troops killed).
- If one of your Troops gets Transformed (voluntarily or otherwise) into something different, you will not get credit for a “no casualties” delve, despite no Troops actually dying.
examples
- Werewoods faction
- Doppelganger, Villager/Werewolf, Nosferatu/Umberwolf/Bat Swarm, Dragon’s Fire
- enemy Night Hag, Lycanthropy Gems, etc.
- If for some reason you put a Gnome on your team and it runs away, you will not get credit for a “no casualties” delve, even though “run away” is NOT dying.
example
- I delved Duergaroth with a team of: Cunning, Clockwork Sphinx, Demon Gnome, Emperinazara and a Lv.100 Hoard (with Potion of Enchantment)
- In the boss room, I cast Demon Gnome to kill the final enemy.
- I was awarded only +20 Renown (for new Delve level) when I should have received at least +30.
The game already tracks a death count per battle (for boost ratios on certain spells), why does it not simply track this counter over the whole length of a Delve?
