There’s some info, but it’s fairly preliminary still. 10/23 is still the last date with troops that appear to have all data (though obviously not necessarily finished). Doomclaw is likewise the last Mythic that has “complete” data. Looking a bit further out, there seems to be a Chinese-themed kingdom in the pipeline. ---

From that I assume its Magic buff scales up with Magic. If so I think it will break the game. Edit: well, the fact that it’s on a random ally may attenuate it, but that dragon with Draakulis, Krystanex and other strong troops that hit all enemies will be devastating, especially because it has board control. ---

I’m guessing that the Magic stat buff doesn’t scale with her own Magic stat… which leaves her not so useful, as it’s untargeted… if it does scale, it’s potentially _very_ dangerous… and kinda fails the Jainus test, as it sounds like it’ll be more frustrating to be fighting against as a defence troop than it is fun to use as an attack troop… hmmm I wonder… ---

It does not scale, or the description would say “…give them [Magic+2] Magic.” I think the troop’s intrinsic 1 Magic stat is a programming mistake, and should be 0 like all other troops that do not scale with Magic. This also means that at least 25% of the time, the buff will be wasted, if it targets Asha. ---

**The Bad** - Random targeted buff has a chance to be pretty underwhelming. Not all troops use magic, and enchant isn’t a game changer unless it hits the right troops. Also, the traits aren’t particularly noteworthy. How many Magic Links do we need? **The Good** - Dark Maiden-style conversion is pretty nice, and this is a good, balanced mana cost for that. Requires a bit of sense to loop, which means it’s more useful to players than AI. Typing and color are nice too- I could see this troop supporting the other Dragons/Mystics quite well. **The Great** - I can finally trait Yasmine’s Chosen next week! ---

Things can be useful and controlled without being OP. This new troop can’t control its spell buff because the spell already has a colour selection. Shame.
