I’m on Android and experienced this bug for the first time during the Tuesday delve event. I selected King Blood wood’s spell but it wouldn’t let me target and enemy. It greyed out the board and my allies like it would normally, but when I clicked any enemies, it’d only show their details. It wouldn’t cast the spell nor do anything else. I was stuck and had to retreat, losing that sigil… ![Screenshot_20191105-215458](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/3/b336c2deadd833ca2d7111ca3f903769f84d2fc7.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20191105-215605](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/d/6d09d4586d4b43b0b71db5d9f04ce34663d75757.jpeg) To clarify the screen shots, after you cast a spell, when you click an enemy, it selects them as the target. It shouldn’t bring up their details, which makes it impossible to target a troop. ---

I don’t know how to reproduce it, since I used KB in PVP and Explore over the past few days and haven’t seen this before. However, I experienced it yet again 3 floors layer, wasting another event sigil. ![Screenshot_20191105-221904](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/c/5cf10836be7145bad8facf68b83467b291a86036.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20191105-221909](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/5/f56d1d2b55f536de8d68acb6ca44a6c15bb1f688.jpeg) ---

No problem! I haven’t encountered the issue again after that day. It was very strange. ---

When did it begin happening?** It’s was happening 2 or 3 times for all time, i think. **Steps to make it happen again** I’ve no clue why it’s happened, i just played as usual. ---

[That looks like the exact same bug I encountered with King Bloodwood](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/king-bloodwood-spell-bug/59016/2). I submitted a ticket since I lost 2 sigils during the process (Tuesday faction assault) and had to spend more gems to complete all the reward tiers. They said they couldn’t reproduce it. 😢 I’ve been hesitant to use King Bloodwood ever since. ---

So, it seems the problem with a troops you have to choose a target for 🤔 ---

Ive experienced this bug with zuul goth and flammifer. Dont know exactly how to reproduce it but i think it happens when i cast the spell too fast right after the enemys turn has ended. Unable to click anything, had to force close the game in both cases Platform: mobile ---

I was finally able to capture this on video 😃. I haven’t encountered it very much since I last reported it. Maybe once or twice. ![GemsofWar 2021-11-16 23-10-24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/1/b1bee9c7fcfdd7ee182e4434cc506e1c0d71dfc7.gif) I was playing while watching TV so it varied how fast I was clicking after spell became available. It does seem like I may have clicked too fast in this case? ---

The same thing just happened to me. No video, though, but a lost Journey sigil here… I also tried to cast The Wild Queen’s spell. It looks exactly as on your video.
