Damned Blade
Deal [Magic + 2] damage to an Enemy. There’s a percentage chance equal to my Magic, to destroy them. If they die, summon a Lemure. [1:1]
Mana Color: Blue, Red, Brown
Mana Cost: 24
Trait #1: Warded Immunity to Death Mark.
Trait #2: Infernal Armor Reflect 25% of Skull damage.
Trait #3: Darklord Rising Gain 3 Magic when my turn begins.
Kinda neat. Its like a High King Irongut, but harder to work with its Boost Ratio and no extra turn. Buffing up Magic quickly isn’t really easy, but you can try Emperinazara or The Emperor to do it.
Its okay. I think.

Burning and Faerie Fire a random Enemy when matching Red Gems.
So a match Red Gems version of Flame of Anu. Ok. Burning isn’t the right word here, should be changed.

A troop has Lycanthropy. It has a 15% chance to transform into a random Beast each turn until the effect wears off.
That’s what happened in the past when new status effects were introduced. Which unfortunately means that Essence of Evil, as well as other troops/weapons that inflict a random negative status effect, will no longer be viable against high level opponents.
EDIT 2: Scrap all of that. Reading comprehension fail. Lycanthropy sounds like a death mark that just transforms instead of killing the inflicted troop.
I imagine the RNG only affects whether it happens or not, but when it does, it will be the same as any current transform spell. Whatever those do currently.
@Nimhain explained a long time ago something to this effect (someone else is welcome to find the post.)
If an ally transforms a troop or if it transforms it’s self then it remains at it’s level with traits if they are unlocked.
If an opponent transforms a troop then the target becomes half the level and is untraited.
PvP behaves the same for player and opposing player
Self-transform (Werecat), player or enemy: lv 20->lv 20 (player’s level for that troop)
Transform enemy (e.g. dragon’s eye): lv 20->lv 10, and has NO traits
Self-transform #2 (Baby dragon that is at level 10 due to dragon eye): 10->20 (player’s level for that troop, HAS traits according to whether player has unlocked them)
PvE (sequential transform)
(cast on enemy) Night hag: 150 → 75
(cast on enemy) Night hag: 75 → 37
(cast on enemy) Dragon’s Eye: 37 → 18
(self-transform) Baby Dragon: 18 → 18
Hence there are differences between PvP and PvE, and also between self-cast (transform on my turn) or enemy-cast (transformed on enemy turn). Which is a lot of words to say that I would not be surprised no matter which camp Lycantrophy ends up in
“on my turn” transform trigger: can restore to full level 20 with traits
“due to enemy cast” transform trigger: drops level by 1/2 and loses traits
So, getting to power level 24 is going to be a big step for players, because it’s the first jump past kingdom level 15 requirement. The previous one is at power level 21 where you need kingdom level 13 to unlock it, which is trivially easy, because Imperial Deeds aren’t required until level 14. But jumping from kingdom level 13 to kingdom level 16 isn’t that easy:
To go from 13 to 16, you need a total of: 640k gold, 2 Books, 6 Imperial Deeds, and 18 specific-color deeds.
One thing you can do is look at what deeds you have and whether you need anymore of them and which ones you can start turning into books. For instance, here’s my set up:

That’s how many Deeds/Books I have on hand, and how many I need to reach kingdom level 15 for those specific colors. Once more books start getting released, I’ll start tracking those. I have a ton of books because, for instance, I had 60 Nature deeds, but I will only ever need 10 to get the remaining green kingdoms to 15 (when they stop using the specific color deeds and switch to books and imperial deeds only).
Over at taransworld, they have Kingdom Power levels and what they will be based on upcoming releases. You can see that Leonis Empire will hit power level 24 on May 10th. So I went ahead and upgraded that Kingdom to 16 (I also have Ghulvania at 16 because I farm difficulty 12 there so the 10% bonus is helpful, since I don’t utilize the 20% mythstone bonus at all).
Once more kingdoms start to hit level 24, it’ll be important to look ahead and see which ones will be getting there first so you can save imperial deeds and books for them, because you’ll want to be able to get the corresponding kingdom to level 16, otherwise it’ll be stuck on power level 23.
Another bothersome point is getting 23 KP in the first place as it requires three level 20 pets, only two can be obtained without spending real money (Manticub and Cactnid Kid) and the other two currently available are cosmetic. Unicalio Jack and Lamplet (from the current campaign. Technically Unicalio can be gotten with gems whenever the rescue returns on a Saturday
But I recall Salty stating that “no cosmetic pet pets will ever be required to upgrade kingdom power levels”, however I can’t find that statement anywhere.
That statement was made a long, LONG time ago. From the posts below yours, it looks like that statement was made almost two full years ago.
I bring this up because this exact topic was brought up on a stream to Salty a couple of weeks ago. On the stream she stated that such comments, when made, are relevant to the state of the game at the time that those comments were made. As time passes, the accuracy of such comments decreases.
So, while Salty did not explicitly say that this statement no longer true, she (IMO) very strongly alluded that the statement is likely no longer true because of the passage of time and likely changes in direction of the game since then (many things exist in the game now that didn’t two years ago that could have caused the designers to change their position towards pets and kingdom leveling).
TL:DR - Power Level 17 may not require a cosmetic pet, but that doesn’t mean Power Level 27 won’t.
Imo… I’m only okay with this IF then SOLEY the cosmetic pets that block Kingdom progression then can become part of the daily offers. The rest of the trash shouldn’t be.
What would the next one be? Cactnid Kid is for City of Thieves delve, Manticub is for Leonis Empire Team bonus, Uncalico Jack is just cosmetic, and I see this on tarans:
