I recorded an instance too. Here’s a link…

It feels like there’s a fix already. Look at the last moment in the video where a 5-match purple seems to have been blocked.

It’s not a fix. It’s just another glitch - I saw the same right after weekly reset yesterday.

For the record’s sake: did Beta Testers get to see these Potions in action before release?

If you watch these potions for a while you can see that a potion is always the last action. Looks like if it not triggers an extra turn it ends the turn and so ends the 0th turn at the beginning of the battle.  
Another stupidly implemented thing.

@jpraveensn, in your second capture you matched 5 Skulls. This is why you kept your turn.

Haha wow…it needed a video upload to bring the famous @EpicurusHFC back to the forums! I don’t care anymore if this is a bug or not, I feel like I have achieved something. 🙂

I know the single potion has been fixed, but if your first turn explodes more than one potion gem, the enemy gets the mana and the first turn.

This feels like something that should have easily been caught with ten minutes worth of testing…

Just happened to me again a level 300 Living Quartz team, which cost me the match AND a Valraven. My explode potion went off, set off mana potion, enemy goes and wipes my Sentinel with a couple easy skull matches. Then one 4 match later, plus the potions earlier, and Living Quartz is filled up. Next thing I know my next two troops are dead before I even get a move.

It seems like something breaks every patch.

This seems fixed. It’s happened multiple times since it was reported, BUT… when the AI tries to make their 4-match, it stops, reverses it, and gives me the turn.

I have seen what you’re describing. However, I almost lost a raven this morning. While it may not happen all of the time, it does still happen (at least on xbox).

I don’t think there’s much they can do without issuing a client patch.

Rumour has it the patch has been ready for a while, but they’re struggling to come up with the traditional 50 gems of compensation, despite several mandatory donation drives at the office. G-a-P’s impact on the economy is worse than we all had thought! /s
