I was expecting the front opponent troop to receive 5 damage from the doomskull. It didn’t receive any damage at all. Might possibly also affect the amount of mana gained from other gems caught in the explosion, needs further analysis. ---

Yep, I had the same happen - skulls exploded by giant gem deal no damage. Mana gain from surrounding gems seems to be correct, as far as I noticed. ---

Looks like the same visual bug where damage is applied correctly but isn’t updated graphically. It should correct itself next time the troop takes damage ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/e/6e363ea874f5813311037b189fd9683a203e67bc.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/6/161bf0a9ba988bee386fc83302086639ec01bdd6.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/8/688b87b56079e250d304b6d225651a6490810ec0.jpeg) ---

I’ve witnessed a few cases now, where enemies died at the end of my [Edit: Or due to effects like poison and burn, sometimes their] turn because of damage, that was caused by a giant gem explosion earlier. So as stated above, it is a visual glitch, possibly including a calculation delay, but the damage is not lost. P.S.: As usual with small numbers and their influence, it is the easiest to replicate it in the arena. ---
