Blue and Yellow
Or
Brown and Yellow
Would of worked tremendously better than releasing a blue and brown siege troop with a blue and brown weapon.
But I can’t help but think that mana blocking wasn’t even considered when releasing the weapon.

Ikr, but its not like devs are gonna release a Hotfix just to change the Mana designation of the weapon. At least we still have weapons like MC or Jar of Eyes to fall back on
I was very disappointed with that recent true scatter damage weapon that uses blue and red (Tesla) 
At least Scarab Blade wasn’t yet another blue green explode and summon weapon

The good news is that Tesla still has higher damage potential because his/her spell scales and in a way where that scaling bonus can get very, very large.
The bad news is that the new weapon in question is objectively more powerful than every similar-ish Hero weapon that came before it. Because Tide’s Lash is the first Hero weapon that deals damage off a base number of “Magic x2”.
For that matter, there are very few troops whose damage scales off of “Magic x 2”. (If I’m sorting the database properly over at Taransworld, it’s 4.) Other than Queen Beetrix – whose nerfing could be an entirely separate discussion on a number of fronts – every one of those troops in question is a (base) mythic.
Tide’s Lash is certainly very good, but it does have precedent in Crescendo, its closest counterpart. Higher multipliers are not uncommon for scatter damage, Rowanne being the typical example, and [Magic x 2] scatter damage is comparable to [Magic / 2] damage to all.
Incidentally, I doubt I would be using Tesla and Tide’s Lash in the same team anyway, so their color overlap doesn’t really bother me.
