Let’s wait until after the 50% buff week to see how these troops turn out. I really like Drake Rider’s 100% summon. Perhaps it should be a set level of drake, and not a fully leveled and traited one, but after this week, Drake Rider goes back to being niche, but perhaps good enough to make non-endgame dragon teams. If Gar’Nok summoning 50% bonus troops makes him feel over powered, but I’d like to see how he pans out without the 50% bonus. If he’s spawning 22 gems, then that’s a bug, right?, since he says 7 of each. Every week where we get the 50% bonuses, something seems out of wack. Then, once the bonuses go away, most troops settle in. 50% bombot week was un-fun. 50% Scale Guard, Paladin, etc, all way more dangerous than normal. The 50% bonuses do shake up the meta, where the 25% bonuses don’t seem to. ---

Gar’Nok spell doesn’t scale with Magic so the event bonus should not increase the number of gem created. Else, I did my GW and whoa Orc Grunt is quite powerful for a Common. Enrage + Gain attack + convert gems. Does the gem conversion is not too much? ---

Black Beast GarNok Ogryn Ogryn is… amusing. Garnok starts half mana, fill him up, browns he makes fills Beast, Beast eats Ogryn, cast Garnok for another orc and fill Beast… ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/c/9/c95f23b8a1617e7ebd8a5434a60e2a1a6a476fa3.png) ---

Before you match any skulls I’d give it a few more casts there mate, don’t want to take any risks! ---

I’d wait before crying wolf. Sure they look strong. But so far orc teams are not very hard to beat. I don’t see anything here that will break the meta. Oh no! Drake Rider summons 100%!! So what? He won’t get more use for it. It’s still a bench card that you’ll rarely see. ---

You are correct! I believe the “cure” to meta is buffs to defense troops and buffs to unused troops as opposed to nerfing the world ---

That’s going to be 12 out of 4. 😕 10 Event Stone things. So two were Drake Riders that made Drakes. … of course the same team against the Paragon just won in about 30 seconds with no damage. Goes to show how RNG this is right now… ---

So post week opinion of the new troops? Orc veteran: Just as bad as I thought when I first saw it. Drake: never used it base in a team, but as a spawn it’s better than the veteran. Bone daemon: Nice spawn, wouldn’t use it base in a team. Storms still suck so much. They should just spawn a few gems of their type at the start of each turn. ---

Drake will be using again. I have in the past… good for doing a lot of damage. Orc - will continue to use again great for front line with the rage. Orc Veteran - need to play around with different troops. Bone daemon - send back to the stone age 😉 Drake - seems interesting - need to see what his stats are when he’s not buffed GarNok - Still not feeling the love to use this troop.
