Instead of Death Mark they could put “Dispel all enemies” and reduce the mana cost. That would make an interesting and useful weapon.

Looking forward to saving up 8 orbs of power for **Cursed Pharaoh Nefertani**! Same spell, higher mana cost, and a 40% chance to deathmark all enemies at the start of my turn!

(Yes I know Salty said campaign bosses won’t be happening every campaign. This is a joke)

</div>

With a lot of grinding these days, players are looking for quick battles and never-ending loops. If you are not losing your turn, then you are not gonna kill anyone with a deathmark. That is what makes the new mythic (Nefertani / Sacrophagus) bad.

Good lord, Ishtara would be a mediocre legendary troop, with her current spell and traits.

New spoilers:

Troops filled out until October 26th. Check it for yourself if you think there’s anything really worthwhile, I’ll just list what I think is interesting.

1. **Auspecia**  
_She’s seen things…_

Arcane: Rage  
Base Rarity: Epic  
Troop Type: Centaur, Mystic

**Vision of the Stars**  
_Give [Magic + 1] Life to an Ally. Then remove all Blue, Green, Red and Brown Gems from the Board._  
Mana Cost: 13  
(I’m assuming Color is TBD)

Trait #1: Centaur Bond  
_Allied Centaurs gain 2 Life._

Trait #2: Magic Heart  
_Gain 1 Life for each Purple ally._

Trait #3: Air Heart  
_Gain 1 Life for each Yellow ally._

That sounds… interesting, especially with a storm.

1. **Orrery**  
_Watch out for the Great Conjunction._

Arcane: Rage  
Base Rarity: Legendary  
Troop Type: Construct, Mystic  
Troop Role: Mage

**Planets Align**  
_Destroy a row and column. Deal [Magic + 1] damage to all Enemies, boosted by Purple and Yellow Gems destroyed. [3x]_

(I’m assuming Color is TBD)  
Mana Cost: 16

Trait #1: Inscribed  
_Gain 1 Armor when an enemy casts a spell._

Trait #2: Impervious  
_Immune to all Status Effects, Devour, and Mana Burn._

Trait #3: Astronomy  
_Conjure a Starstorm at the start of my turn._

What the heck is a Starstorm? I guess… Yellow/Purple? Sounds like a good early game troop.

No changes to Ishtara sadly.

1. **Athame of Shadows**

Rarity: Legendary  
Weapon Type: Dagger  
Weapon Role: Striker  
Darkstone  
**Red, Purple**  
14 Mana

Athame of Shadows  
_Deal [Magic + 4] damage to the Enemy. If the Enemy’s Attack is higher, there’s a 20% chance to kill them._

Conceptually, that’s useful… until you realize its just another 20% chance to instakill weapon. _shrug_

Did anyone watch the Gems of War stream last night?

In my opinion, even Salty didn’t seem to enjoy the new mythic very much.

Well, it doesn’t fit into the restricted play style that she sets for herself on the GoW streams. For example, she doesn’t make skull matches, even it would win her the match.

The mythic’s shtick is blessing other troops and to a lesser degree being a yellow generator. Disregarding the troop’s bless mechanics and then disregarding the skull resistance by not placing it in the top slot, all that is left is a very mediocre to somewhat poor AoE damaging troop. I’d be bored and disappointed, too.

Not too late to make it tenable by reverting to the previous 3rd trait.

</div>

some very minor spoilers, but I thought they were neat.

1. \*\* **Arcturion** \*\*

**Ice Curse**  
_Create 5 Brown Gems, boosted by Blue Allies. Freeze a random Enemy._

Guess it depends on the boost ratio…

1. **Bonebound Dredge**

**Restless Dead**  
_Destroy a column. Create 2 Doomskulls for every Green Gem destroyed. Conjure a Bonestorm._

I like the concept. I don’t know if its good enough as is…

When I use Sky Hero, I tend to find an average of 3 yellow gems to destroy in a column… translated to this troop, it would just be 6 Doomskulls.

I guess at worst, its a low rarity troop that I end up ignoring. Would be nice to be useable though.

1. and for the main event:

| # | Item name | Old | New |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | |
| 1 | [ARENA\_REROLL\_QUERY] | | Compete with this team? |

Have you ever wanted to reroll in Arena without throwing away 2k gold and quitting out? I know I have. Will it cost to reroll? probably, but at least hopefully without forcing a quit out this time…

Or Curse all enemies → would have similiar effect and potential for adding extra debuffs by other troops.

We already have Fiend Fire for Curse All + Burn… Not sure if Duskbringer needs to be just a Curse All

Maybe Curse and Silence ALL ? That might be kind of OP…

Xbox One System Update interupted my faction run/made me lose a sigil, so I had time to look up spoilers.

\*\*Arcturion  
_Demon? Or just a space rock?_

Arcane: Swamp  
Base Rarity: Epic  
Troop Type: Elemental, Daemon  
Troop Role: Generator

**Ice Curse**  
_Create 5 Brown Gems, boosted by Blue Allies. Freeze a random Enemy. [2x]_

Mana Color: Blue, Green  
Mana Cost: 12

Trait #1: Water Heart  
_Gain 1 Life for each Blue ally._

Trait #2: Insulated  
_Immunity to Frozen._

Trait #3: Ice Armor  
_Reduce damage from Skulls by 65%._

I don’t know what you do with Brown mana on a Blue team, but the fact Maraji Queen is also blue means you can easily do 9 between this and Maraji. 3 Blue = 11 Brown and 4 Blue = 13 Brown. It also has Skull reduction and immunity to Freeze.

This is good? I think?

Other troops got their troop colors, Orrery being Blue, Yellow.

**Shrunken Head** / Human Pet is scheduled for Oct 21, 2020  
**Howler** /Cosmetic is scheduled for Oct 28, 2020  
**Compact Cookie** /Cosmetic is scheduled for Nov 11, 2020  
**Hot Head** / Dec 09, 2020 is scheduled for Dec 9, 2020

We were a bit overdue for new pets, but yikes. good luck to mythic collectors.

Basing on the current campaign artifact i did a table:

| Camapign week | Kingdom | Points for pree pass | points for elite+ pass | free pass max stats from artifact | elite+ max stats from artifact | free vs elite+ | GW week |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| 9 | Whitehelm | 900 | 1080 | 10life,9attack,15armor,2magic | 10life,9attack,15armor,4magic | 2magic | no |
| 10 | Khetar | 1000 | 1200 | 10life,9attack,15armor,4magic | 10life,9attack,15armor,4magic | - | no |

I’m putting it in spoilers because not everyone wants to know which kingdoms will be in next weeks.

Yes, nice to see some good art eventually.

What are these kobolds? I mean Troop Type. They look Dragonians and belong to a “Dragon” place, so will it be correct to assume they’ll be Dragons?..
