**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I was expecting Vulperus to target 3 random enemies, as its spell says.  
What actually happen : it chooses the targets before applying the damages. So if it selects several times the same target and if that target dies beforehand, it does not target another alive troop.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Every time it wants to target a troop already dead.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Launch a battle with low enemies (explo 1 typically), fill Vulperus, cast it.  
If its selects two times the same troop before beginning to deal damage, it will not deal damage 3 times like it should.

clearly they are anticipating the introduction of zombie troops.

Can confirm this is still present as of 7.2 (Switch). I can provide video if needed.

In my case, there were (low level) enemies in slots 2,3,4 (slot 1 was killed) and I cast Vulperus for damage. Intuitively, this should have won the battle. Instead, the spell struck (and killed) enemies #2, #4, but no third hit occurred.

So far, it seems like the first two hits always target different enemies (if possible), but I have not exactly been tracking it statistically…
