**Platform, device version and operating system:** PS4

**Screenshot or image:** I have 3 clips, but can’t upload .mp4 files to this forum apparently.

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
After potion gems resolve and fill the board with gems, then occasionally:

-if it becomes the player’s turn, the AI makes a phantom move - a gem is dragged to make a match, but no gems are matched. The player is then able to match as usual. Just a graphical glitch.

-if it becomes the AI’s turn, the AI makes two simultaneous matches. One gives mana and removes gems, the other does nothing and is just another graphical glitch.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Has happened a few times in the world event, running a 3x Beetrix team.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Match potions, or watch the AI do so.

Edit: It also happens when start-of-battle explosions destroy potion gems. The board resolved, and then the AI tried to make a brown 5-match before I took my first turn.

Same bug here, sorry I can’t provide a video, but this is my starting board after the explosions from the potion.  
Global event, I clearly saw the AI doing the red match 5 before my first turn, then the image glitch and the board came back like before.

I saw it too in the guild game on android, so it seems to be on all devices?

It wouldn’t be a new heroic gem, that no one wants, without bugs 🤣

i’ve seen this as well.

- before the game starts potion of explosion triggers.
- explosion causes a potion gem to explode
- gems spawned after explosion profide a 4 of a kind option
- still before game starts a.i. seems to do a phantom move on the 4 of a kind

seeing it as well, it appears like the AI turn gets skipped when it happens, or it actually does get skipped, can’t tell 100%. Glad its not happening to us but hope they can fix it.
