**Platform, device version and operating system:** Pc/Mobile **Screenshot or image:** N/A **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** I wanted to use Elspeth in my Vash’dagon team to get rid of “inedible” troops but when Vash summons Enraged Kurandara I am stuck since Elspeth can not kill him. Other “ally killers” can kill invulnerable troops. Sacrifice, Scrifical Priest, The Widow Queen, **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Always **Steps to make it happen again** Try to kill an invulnerable troop with Elspeth, dooms, EK, Leonis tower. EDIT: IT IS A BUG!!! Even Kafka admitted it. > [@Princess Elspeth and Sacrificial Priest can kill your Doom troops!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/princess-elspeth-and-sacrificial-priest-can-kill-your-doom-troops/50861/13): > > Hey folks, any troops which instant kill/sacrifice an ally should always succeed even if you have an invulnerable ally. We have some older troops on a different system which will be updated in the future to function correctly. This includes Sacrifice and Widow Queen. We are also in the process of ensuring all our wording will be consistent in the future. ---

The invulnerable trait makes troops immune to lethal damage so this is what I would expect to happen ---

so, the bug about killing invulnarable troops is back somehow? > [@Princess Elspeth and Sacrificial Priest can kill your Doom troops!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/princess-elspeth-and-sacrificial-priest-can-kill-your-doom-troops/50861): > > Platform, device version and operating system: PC, Steam client, Game: 4.2.0.07, OS: Win 7x64 SP1 Screenshot or image: Not provided. What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: Any Doom card is invulnerable when fully traited. It cannot be killed instantly by lethal attacks or magic spells that sacrifice it.
