> As of this week, we’ve made a change to the way EVENT troops appear in chests after their release. Now, each event troop should begin to drop from chests 4 weeks after its initial release (so it won’t be a simple case of the chests updating at the start of every month with the previous month’s troops) Mythic Troops & troops released with new kingdoms will be unaffected by this.
