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.

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

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

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…

4251

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

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

4259

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.

4260

Where would the fun be in that? :slight_smile:

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

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.

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

Leviathan looks really strong

4265

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… :thinking:
