Bounty weekend in Sword’s Edge incoming, with a bounty captain from… Dhrak-Zum? I wonder if this is intentional, up to now new bounty captains always matched the weekly event kingdom. 🤔 ---

I wonder if they pushed the schedule back a week for some reason, but the troop had already been slated? 🤔 ---

They definitely pushed a schedule, they added arena weekend to the weekend rotation. ---

> [@Mana\_Surgeon](#): > > Bonebound Dredge…ugh, Russian roulette anyone? Looks definitely like a troop you stick in the back of your Bounty team and do not cast under any circumstances. I did cast it many time during bounty → especialy in a way that wouldn’t destroy any green and would destroy some skulls enemies wouldn’t get that way. or if there was a line where i could destroy 5-6 green gems… usually that changed into multiple skull matches + some explosions bit RNG troop, but for bounty it’s ok (doubt it will be usefull anywhere outside) ---

King Minos Trait #3: Maze Master _Give 50% Mana to all Tauros Allies when battle begins._ Not only it’s a complete copy of Shaman 3rd trait, but it’s a _differently worded_ copy of that trait… Horrible. 🤦‍♂️ ---

Lots of new spoilers, mixed bag in my opinion. 1. New pets scheduled Feb 17th, mostly Cosmetic. Good luck collectors. Dec 09, 2020: **Hot Head** , Khetar, Undead Buff Dec 23, 2020: **Shelf on an Elf** Holidays 2020, Glacial Peaks, Cosmetic Dec 28, 2020: **Quetzantini** Campaign, Suncrest, Cosmetic Jan 08, 2021 (39 days away, time flies): **Dinotaur** , Wild Plains, Faction Pet Jan 27, 2021: **Ozzie** Australia Day 2021, Drifting Sands, Cosmetic Feb 03, 2021: **Gobblekin** , Zaejin, Goblin Buff Feb 10, 2021: **Lucky Ox** , Shentang, Cosmetic (Chinese New Year, probably) Feb 17, 2021: **Love Panda** Valentine’s Day 2021, Shentang, Cosmetic 2. Weapons! Mostly Good? Maybe Not? The more I think, the less I like **Duskbringer** Mana cost has been nerfed from 24 mana to 25 mana. 🤷‍♂️ Easy to say I don’t agree with it. It was released while I typed this out. Well… > **All of the next 6 Doomed Weapons have been changed drastically.

Strong looping combo. _Then explode all Stone Blocks._ is quite an interesting additional effect. Too bad Stone Blocks aren’t in the main gameplay. Would this explode first, fix the board, then explode the Stone Blocks?

It has a double devour chance like Doomclaw, but its % is so low that its not worth it. You can only reliably get 16% at most, which is super underpowered. (3 submerges, 4th one should fall off on cast). Most teams don’t run Submerge, so using this troop to counter submerge is silly (and overpriced on mana cost). May as well use Mosasaurus instead. @Neritar Help! they duplicated the 3rd trait Behemoth’s 3rd Trait: Trait #3: Immense _Gain 10 Life on 4 or 5 Gem matches._ **Kharybdis** ’s 3rd Trait: Trait #3: Titanic _Gain 10 Life when matching 4 or more Gems._ 1. > **\*\*Quetzalma\*\* (Mythic)** > > Arcane: Light & Plains > Base Rarity: Mythic > Troop Type: Divine, Stryx > Troop Role: Mage > > **Daybreak** > _Deal [Magic + 20] scatter damage, boosted by a chosen Gem Color (except Yellow).

Is that 6 mana cost a placeholder or its actual cost? since 6 yellow mana would actually be an interesting design. Spell isn’t significant, but extra turn chances are good and a random status effect to a random ally is also potentially useful. The Heirophant hero class specifies “Positive Status Effect”, so expect the 3rd trait text to change. Unless they mean it can give negative effects, which would be really weird for something called The Sun. 1. > **The Scourge of Honor (Mythic)** > > Arcane: Forest & Lava > Base Rarity: Mythic > Troop Type: Daemon, Wildfolk > Troop Role: Mage > > **Vermin Plague** > _Deal [Magic + 2] true damage to all Enemies.

I look at the actual troops and its not as common together as I thought. (Nefertani does Curse and Disease on cast, Scarab of Nefertani does it to 1 enemy).

The duplicated traits scream “placeholder” to me. Possibly because they rely on effects that have yet to be implemented in the game’s code. ---

To me, I feel like they would just copy and paste the old traits if they were just placeholders. Here, they reworded it. I still haven’t quite forgotten that they tried to use a level 1 talent as the Stormcaller 3rd trait… ---

If it were up to me I would get rid of all ‘summon on death’ traits in the entire game. ---

> [@Grundulum](#): > > The duplicated traits scream “placeholder” to me. Possibly because they rely on effects that have yet to be implemented in the game’s code. A couple of years ago I would have agreed with you. Nowadays I’m inclined to believe it’s yet another rushed content dump they couldn’t care less about. Just look at the Hairy Hoarder buff pet that could recently be bought for $50, official release still pending (and apparently no longer scheduled). ---

> [@TheIdleOne](#): > > It needs its art, so the next Update has to be before Christmas. They wouldn’t want a new Update during Christmas either, so maybe a week or two before. The next update (big or small) is a guarantee to be before Christmas, because they need to put Christmas icon as a game icon for mobile (and it’s also a reason for a small update after Christmas/Halloween - to remove that icon, Sirrian described that system in one of the Q&A). My personal guess is that update will be in 2 weeks, because: 4.7 was released on December 11, 2019, 4.2 was released on December 10, 2018, 3.2.5 was released on December 12, 2017, 2.2 was released on December 14, 2016 ---

Without potions, that’s free damage to be taken… Top priority kill… Hit it with anything you got and jumble enemy team to make him front liner and deal some skull damage to hit, before he can cast ? IDK… it will be annoying faction. More annoying than all those summoner ones… [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/spoiler-alert-any-details-provided-are-subject-to-change-part-1/1280.md?page=484) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/spoiler-alert-any-details-provided-are-subject-to-change-part-1/1280.md?page=486)
