Another journey loop troop. `*sigh*` There is something decidedly uncreative about all those carbon copy troops and weapons, that only have their colour, attribute or kingdom switched around. The neon bow look being carried over from Seekra to this new one does not help to avoid that impression either. Oh, and I bet, we will have a lot of fun with all the bugs, that come with the new “choose your spell effect” feature over the next month. ---

Since we don’t have a Wargare class yet, for looping to work correctly, no hero team for Journey this time? ---

It is a bit strange that we have no information on the new wargare hero class from taransworld. Maybe they are having difficulty with the new traits and unsure about what talent trees the new class will have? (This is completely unlike us having early access to the elementalist and geomancer classes, so something must be going on. We should give them time and be patient.) Just for fun I’m going to say that the new wargare class will be “hunter” with the following traits: trait 1-dodge(30% chance to dodge skull damage) trait 2-fox cunning(start battles with 25% mana) trait 3-forest surge (summon a leaf storm when my turn begins. Talent trees will be the following: forest, stone, cunning Sounds like a pretty good class right?😻 ---

They 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. ---

Being able to cancel the spell during choose a spell on the new troops is neat. One day, if it applied to all troops when picking targets… that’d be nice ---

More likely a reference to this guy? > **[Ed Greenwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Greenwood)** > > Ed Greenwood (born July 21, 1959) is a Canadian fantasy writer and the original creator of the Forgotten Realms game world. He began writing articles about the Forgotten Realms for Dragon magazine beginning in 1979, and subsequently sold the rights to the setting to TSR, the creators of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, in 1986.

So another DnD reference? Why am I not surprised? 😆 I kinda like how Greenwood is both a reference for this, and the fact that he create a lot of green gems. It also tied to Seekra Darkwood, who create purple. If the spell theme is an indication for its name, then Chalcedony might be renamed Chalcia Blackmountain if she was released before this two. Lol. Oh well, Hellcrag have a mineral/gem name theming going on, so Chalcedony fit better instead of shorten it to fit future theme. For the future, I guess Journey troops with a name like Billy Blueocean, Richard Redlava, or Yuri Yellowstone are a possibility. 😝 ---

It would be really nice to have a Wargare hero… or at least let Warden be part of it for the time being. I went ahead and did Warden - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/8/78e2a5983ed8f3d8b7f940e15337c270f5e7bfb0.jpeg) Between missing a green storm generator in the wargare and wargare hero, I sorta made it up with a decent team that loops about 70% of the time. And Persistence adds to increase the damage for Todd for the looping nicely. ---

New Class will be released on Friday for a Class trial weekend, instead of running a 24 hour Class event like we would normally run on a Thursday.
