**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Just a friendly reminder that you haven’t fixed the Queen Ash bug for over a year.  
Edit: I’ve added a video in avif.  
I’ll explain why I started this topic. I lost the PVP battle. Of my four troops, Queen Ash remained. The opponent only has the main character left. Queen Ash helplessly created elemental stars and did no damage to the opponent. Of course it’s frustrating. I think it’s counter-intuitive that Queen Ash can defeat three opponents but can’t damage the fourth. The spell description says that Queen Ash deals damage to the second last enemy. This doesn’t mean Queen Ash can’t deal damage if there’s only one enemy left. Queen Ash should damage the second last enemy, if there is anyone to choose from, that is, if there are several enemies. If the enemy is only one, Queen Ash should deal damage to it. I hope the developers will fix this.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Always.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Start PVP. Kill three enemies. When there is only one enemy left, use spell of the Queen Ash. No damage..

Define “bug”. The troop works exactly as described in the spell. As was pointed out a year ago, it’s badly designed, but there’s nothing that counts as a bug.  
It’s supposed to hit the “second last” enemy, meaning if there isn’t at least 2 enemies, it can’t hit anything.  
I’m all for improving the spell, but this is more feedback than bug report.

> Hey everyone, Thank you for letting us know about this. I’ve tested Queen Ash on our side and discussed how the spell Graven Seal is meant to bework when cast and this is a bug. Even with one enemy troop on the board, the spell should be targeting it. I’ve reported this to the dev team to get this corrected. Thanks again. OminousGMan - Support Human male_detective

I’d say that’s a good enough reason

The Reaching weapon trait works the same way. Are we going to change the coding of those 18 weapons now too? Seems like a Pebkac problem.

Oh, so much neglect. Usually, narrow-minded people treat others with disdain. Regarding the bug. The developers admitted that this is a bug. So, it would be nice to fix this bug. More than a year has already passed.

The devs also said the Maze Banner was correct with its +2 +2 -1, so I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything they say. 🤷🏻

Hello 🙂

Please keep this thread civil.

Please also note that arguing amongst ourselves, derailing from the original topic at hand and insulting one another won’t help the original bug report.

Again, if you have any recorded video footage of this issue it would be greatly appreciated for investigation and replication purposes.

While I don’t consider it a bug, I think the Queen deserves a buff, where she does do damage in a one v one battle. Its more fun than trying to eke out a win in a long skull battle.

Lol, the argumentation of the op briefly made me forget where I was on the side of the issue. Queen Ash deserves a small buff!

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Queen Ash’s spell says she targets the second last enemy. She now targets the last enemy, instead, sometimes. Obviously bugged.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Since last update??

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Use Queen Ash’s spell with only one enemy left?

</div>

they actually finally fixed her? I gave up hope on that.

It only took years after an initial bug report where gman? confirmed it was a bug that due to the spell being quite literal that the spell would never hit the last enemy.

So, please don’t try to break this thing. I don’t know why you’d want a spell that does nothing with one enemy alive.

I don’t know why they made the spell that way, but it SHOULD work however it says on the spell. If you want a spell that does something with one troop left, make them change it to target the LAST troop, not the SECOND last.

Video is after the most recent update, 9.1.  
Dunno why the bug report was moved here, but OK.  
Troop is now broken and not working as described. If the troop isn’t going to be changed back, can the spell description be updated?

But this is a thread about the spell being “bugged” for not targeting the wrong troop.  
My bug report was that it now targets the wrong troop, sometimes. Different bug.  
Guess it’s fine being together, but just didn’t want you to get confused what bug is being discussed.
