(!) Spoiler Alert (!) -- [Any Details Provided are Subject to Change] (Part 1)

[Lyya]

Here’s the best I can do. Spell descriptions are even more preliminary than usual, as I had to try to work backward from the mechanics instead of using text provided by IP2. Take these with a grain of salt.

[Grundulum]

@Lyya

30% chance to Devour the target if it uses Blue Mana.

Oh, dear. Another RNG based devour, and this one can’t easily be prevented thanks to Stealthy. I hope this doesn’t become a fixture on blue GW days, but I suspect (given no color overlaps with Amira) that I will be seeing a lot of it in the future.

[Gilgamesh]

Show me Cthulhu

[Trajic]

Yet another Blue/Purple board exploder.
… Well, well …

Well, get it? Hmm? Hmm?
… Don’t worry, I’ll find the exit door myself

[Crow]

A epic is missing. it must be the quest card. Sea witch sounds to generic for the hero sidekick . And most troops look like just delayers…

[Lyya]

I didn’t post the follow-up Epic. I can do that later today.

[Jainus]

Ah power creep…

[The_Unforgiven]

@EmsDad15

Im too lazy to look thru a million posts.

Really need a new spoiler thread where the OP is updated with the relevant links to the actual spoilers.

[pohsyb]

@Lyya

Pool of Sorrow (14 Blue/Purple): Dispel all enemies. Decrease a random Skill by (Magic + 1), Boosted by Blue Gems on the board. Explode all Blue Gems. [3:1]

What is the target of the decrease a random skill? All, Random, Self?

[Lyya]

Sorry, all enemies. Typed it up and failed to proofread.

[pohsyb]

NP, thanks for your hard work! ^_^b

[pohsyb]

Wow, her ability is so much better than the mythic Plague.

Plague

• 22 Mana Cost
• Poison All Enemies + Disease All Enemies
• Decrease random skill on all enemies by 5 (3 base magic + 2)

Sea Witch

• 14 Mana Cost
• Dispell All Enemies + Explode All Blue Gems
• Decrease random skill on all enemies by 7+ (6 base magic +1 boosted by blue gems)

[Lyya]

I will double-check my figures when I get a chance later this afternoon. It’s possible I messed it up somehow.

[Esoxnepa]

I know I’m not worried about the spoilers being perfect. Just having a general idea of themes coming really helps keep my excitement up.

Any chance they could make you an official spoiler leaker and feed you information without you needing to mine the data? Something that would save you time, while still being unofficial-ish.

[Lyya]

Where would the fun be in that?

[en9nhcet]

lot of the artwork looks more “cartoony” as of late,not a fan

[XLS78]

It’s easy to see which troop is likely to get the fastest nerf if released as shown here.

[Nephilim]

I thought there’d be a shrimp warrior, a common. Perhaps it’s the same artist who did sharkey, hammerhead and dragon turtle?
Thanks for sharing, looks like a good kingdom.

[Venar]

More random Devour, more mass dispels and AOE.
Why bother with barrier, really.

Leviathan looks really strong

[Razzagor]

@Venar

…more mass dispels and AOE.

I believe they want to make Submerge relevant, but i won’t disagree that Barrier is becoming more and more useless¹ at the same time…

¹Random off-topic doubt: Can someone tell me if is the expression “more and more useless” is a poor/improper use of “more” when paired with “useless”? Feels a little off when i think about it…
