She was half snake, half humanoid, like her mother, but she had the most wondrous set of wings. It was widely believed, though never confirmed, that the father was Undine, God of the Sea. Her mother named her Euryali, and as she grew, it soon became apparent that she had an aptitude for magic far beyond most of her people. Sadly (though this is a story for another time), Euryali was feared by the Naga Queens, and was exiled from her home. She travelled deep into the Mists, into the places even the Naga fear to slither, and there she learned many secrets including the dark powers of necromancy. When Euryali returned, it was with a host of Undead Naga at her back. A fierce battle raged for many years, and although Euryali was defeated, her body was never found. The Bone Naga however, still persist deep within the swamps, and are just another reason the Naga still refuse to travel into the Heart of the Mists to this very day. **Balance Chances** _Courage_ Trait Changed: - Attack + Life gain reduced from 3 to 2 _Loyalty_ Trait Changed: - Armor + Life gain increased from 2 to 3 _Dimetraxia_ Spell Change: - Burn chance increased from 25% to 75% - Base Spell Damage increased from 4 to 9 - Now gains Magic at level 11, 14 and 16 _Venbarak_ Spell Change: - Disease chance increased from 30% to 75% - Base Spell Damage increased from 1 to 3 **Troop Refund** The following troop will be available for refunds this week: - Courage Please note this Event only applies to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

Thanks for posting @Sirrian Undead Naga troop looks fun. Any chance the Bonus multiplier is 5x or 6x? 😃 Why the nerf for Courage? Was Courage that overpowered in the current meta-game? NowayJoe2Go ---

Wouldn’t a Bone Mercy transform purples to skulls and poison the weakest enemy? ---

[quote=“Sirrian, post:1, topic:23353, full:true”]and there she learned many secrets including the dark powers of necromancy. [/quote] That would’ve been an awesome trait. And looking forward to finding out the boost ratio, hopefully it’s decent. Looks fun. ---

@Saltypatra Sirrian does such a creative job with the back story of these troops its a shame it can’t be incorporated into the game somewhere for players to read considering maybe only 1% of the players use this forum. ---
