Taran, weā€™ll miss you. What about the next faction ā€“ Tinker Town? Weekly Event Spoilers leave Aug 14-16 empty. I mean ā€“ nothing is planned at that time, no Vault, no Raid Boss, even no cosmetic pets on Saturday. So there is hope that the new faction will come in time?.. ---

I mean, if Taranā€™s World is still upā€¦ **Amarok** _Hotdog!_ Arcane: Storm & Lava Base Rarity: Mythic Troop Type: Elemental, Beast Troop Role: Assassin Troops Id: K00\_20 / 6920 **Molten Feast** _Deal [Magic + 7] damage to an Enemy. There is a 2% chance to Devour them, boosted by Red Gems and Burning Enemies. If the Enemy dies, create 9 Red Gems. [4x]_ Mana Color: Red, Yellow, Brown Mana Cost: 24 Trait #1: Fireproof _Immunity to Burning and Faerie Fire._ Trait #2: Stoneskin _Reduce damage from Skulls by 50%._ Trait #3: Volcanic Meteor _Burn and Stun a random Enemy when matching 4 or more Gems._ Its like a weak version of High King Irongut. The 3rd trait is similar to the Faction Legendary The Frostfire King, only instead of Freeze and Burn, its Stun and Burnā€¦ If you average a board around 10 red gems and say 2 burning enemiesā€¦ thatā€™s around 50% chance to Devour. I guess Iā€™m not overly impressed? Seems almost easier to use Kerberosā€¦ or just High King Irongut, really. The troop doesnā€™t even factor in Stun into anything. Its just kinda there. **Daemon Gnome** _Gnome Alone_ Arcane: Death Base Rarity: Common Troop Type: Gnome, Daemon Troop Role: Assassin Troops Id: Vault\_15 / 6931 **Burn & Bolt** _Kill a random Enemy. Then Run Away. Can only be cast once._ Mana Color: Purple Mana Cost: 50 Trait #1: Accursed _All enemies lose 2 random Skill points._ Trait #2: Warded _Immunity to Death Mark._ Trait #3: Death Touch _Inflict Death Mark when doing Skull damage._ 50 mana cost lol. Ok, thatā€™s kinda cute ---

Yeah, Amarok is quite underwhelming, just like his art šŸ˜¬. There are better option for Devour and Stun based team, so both of them at once just feel very jack-of-all-trades. That Daemon Gnome thoughā€¦ like a mini self-destructed Zuulā€™Goth! I wonder if he is the main part of Epic Vault, and what things will he drop. Please be Deedsā€¦ ---

So the other very minor stuff: **Ancient Pharaoh** is actually a Khetar Mythic. It wasnā€™t just a misplaced troop. 24 mana **Angelic Dragon** is still a Dragonā€™s Claw Mythic. 24 mana, Red/Yellow/Purple **Fire Lion** is a Leonis Empire Mythic. 24 mana **Naga God** is a Mist of Scales Mythic. 24 mana All subject to change, and I do hope so since 24 mana is boring (and usually inefficient) Campaign 2 has 3 Legendary Weapons in the works. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/8/d8a0806cc8cfd987de784e6cd68e0ea10f0f3f1e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/a/8ac61761448488e6ea33c224c4024116c3ea6e45.png) ---

> [@TimeKnight](#): > > Yeah, Amarok is quite underwhelming, just like his art šŸ˜¬. There are better option for Devour and Stun based team, so both of them at once just feel very jack-of-all-trades. Thought about it some more. Its definitely a win-more troop, so its really hard to tell if its actually good or not. Its not exactly fun to rely on those type of troops. Worst case scenario, you do damage for 24 mana. Effing yawn. Best case scenario, you start it at half mana (elemental/beast), get a board of 18+ red gems because of a red storm and an explosion. burn a few enemies, cast, devour, create 9 red gems on kill, loop and cast again, devour, loopā€¦ and continue? Iā€™ve seen quite a few people miss when HKI isnā€™t 100% though. I wish it did more in its worst case scenario than ā€œdo damage for 24 manaā€ā€¦ like if it burned all enemies if it doesnā€™t kill an enemy. ---

The mythic appears to be a hybrid of multiple roles. Yet, suffers from the jack of all trades curse. Itā€™s not quite a full tank, but 50% skull reduction is decent. Itā€™s not quite Irongut and canā€™t guarantee the devour. Itā€™s not Obsidius in terms of stunning opponents. But, is being three-quarters of a tank, three-quarters of Irongut, and a smidge of Obsidius good enough for a hybrid unit these days? I donā€™t know, but my gut feeling is a bit of skepticism. I think this unit actually tries to perform some role compression, which is refreshing to see. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I feel like when the unit works it will be formidable. But, when it misfires, itā€™s going to be frustrating. ---

When a troopā€™s main offensive spell effect is devour, itā€™s not a good sign with a bad gut feeling. Lord of Slaughter had a better base level with a better shegra spell, guaranteed true skull damage, and at least some damage reduction. The bleed and death mark is random as heck though. This mythic does feel trying way to hard to do everything. At the very least itā€™s self sufficient in removing indigestible and fireproof for the devour proc. Better devour teams can be built around irongut with curse, but this might have potential as a novelty in the worst case scenario. Then again, it could be a matter of Iā€™d rather a mythic be underwhelming and people root as an underdog (pun intended) that needs a buff rather than a troop declared broken on arrival and needing nerfs. ---

I agree with much thatā€™s been said about Amarok. While it seems like a serviceable first-slot troop, Iā€™m concerned about that creating 9 gems on kills. That would seem to have a high chance of backfiring, basically punishing the player for getting lucky with a devour.
