#### SOLID SNAKES **New Ultra-Rare Troop: Stone Viper** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/f/6f2acee8c74100a499223df7b3b215cb86d453b6.jpeg)](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/StoneViper.jpg) The Stone Viper will be available this week for 300 Glory in the shop as well as in Event Chests, and will appear in Glory, Gem, and Guild chests in 3-4 weeks’ time. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/optimized/3X/9/2/9210b22576b950c38231f287a290333677c9bcf4_2_690x34.png) **New Weapon: Mirror Shield** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/2/72f602e9a509210abc46342e28dc555f2d6bffff.jpeg)](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/MirrorShield.jpg) This week it will be available in both the Event shop, and in the Soulforge. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/optimized/3X/9/2/9210b22576b950c38231f287a290333677c9bcf4_2_690x34.png) **World Event: Magic Mirror** There are 6 battles that players can encounter during the event: Bone Naga, The Great Wyrm, Nocturnia, Sledgepaw, Chief Dargon, and Euryali. The first 5 battles are randomly chosen, but they all have an equal chance of appearing on the map. The battle against Euryali will only appear after the player wins 4 of the other battles. However, her battle will not hang around; if you don’t fight her immediately, she will vanish! Either way, after that, all battles reset, and you’ll need to fight another 4 to spawn Euryali again. _Scoring_ You can find the following rewards for each of the different battles you may encounter. - Bone Naga: 5 Mirror Shards - The Great Wyrm: 8 Mirror Shards - Nocturnia: 8 Mirror Shards - Sledgepaw: 8 Mirror Shards - Chief Dargon: 8 Mirror Shards - Euryali: 10 Mirror Shards Each Mirror Shard is worth 3 points. The battles against Euryali will drop a variable number of Mirror Shards (on average about 1.18x the base amount).

I know, most players have long quit asking you and themselves, but would it be so hard to implement those point numbers on the ingame map? It’s kind of an important information. ---

Event chests have been configured incorrectly in the past. Infinity Plus Two doesn’t compensate for keys wasted due to their mistakes, if you plan to spend a large amount of keys, make sure what you are looking for has already been found by other players. ---
