Rowanne she is very strong Edit: srry i missread you, i would do spark on gorgota cause he is very lucky when he explose the gems and catch a skull cascade ---

Then you’re not really taking advantage of Sparkgrinder’s synergy with constructs. If I wanted to build a team around Rowanne or Gorgotha, I wouldn’t be using Sparkgrinder. ---

Well put carnex first then and cast spark on carnex ---

On another issue - Bunni’Nog will probably be released soon and will murder those knight teams in PVP. Is there another troop that can batter those Forest Fey troops? (Including overcoming Gloom Leafs 3rd trait that mirrors skull damage) ---

Right, so back to Robert’s question, who would you put with Carnex and Sparky if you’re going to boost Carnex’s attack? If it is an Adana or construct team, this is where I always get blocked since I don’t like having so much duplication of mana colors and everyone seems to use red and yellow (or black). I’ve tried using Mercy as a purple-using yellow creator. When that works, it works well. Drake rider or banshee might be good too to create red. There’s probably something to be done with the new hero classes, but I just haven’t really gotten into that for whatever reason. ---

That’s still the lineup that I’m most likely to skip in PVP. When I feel like doing it, I will either use: - Goblins (lots of extra turns and targetable damage; once Gloomleaf is down, the rest fall quickly to spells and skulls) - A shadow-hunter team (I’ve got a few lineups, including @TaliaParks original blue team, to use spell damage) - A rowanne team with a tank up front (I use Alastair, Valk, Rowanne & Templar; loop forever and when Rowanne’s armor is up to about 80, cast once to wipe them all out.) Any of these can still be a problem if there are too many skulls up at once. ---

lvl 113 I saw someone say here to focus on the kingdoms with 8+ troops first. The highest I have is 8 troops in Broken Spire and Whitehelm I noticed now that I actually do have a silver star in Whitehelm too! Must be when I managed to upgrade my Archon Statue to level 17… The next star is still 535 points away though ^^’ I guess I’ll get to leveling those troops first then. ---

Good stuff. There is no troop that does double damage (for example) specifically against Fey? ---

Yeah this guy double hit fey, gain 5 health and 40% chance to devour elf ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/c/c50a567088b2fadc328289457eb8c751c0c10284.jpg) ---

Elwyn has Fey slayer, but is pretty useless. Elf-eater’s spell seems a little schizoid (is that the right word?) in that he does double damage to Fey but devours Elves. Make up your mind! Great Maw or other devour troops might be an option, too. Devour goes through barrier and traits. ---

The Pipeworks guys have done an amazing job, to take our little Mobile/PC game, and turn it into a successful console title.

Elf Eater? Definitely an option but as you and Stan say he is a little disjointed by attacking Fey and Elfs - do see some Elf teams too though. Wouldn’t mind eating this Elf 🍑 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/e/e51f1793344fd2ae5ed6e6b8b3ad6fea9f109335.JPG) ---

As a reminder, the Mythic Horsemen require 21 each of 2 Arcane Traitstones. I will write-up a small guide with upcoming Troops so we can plan a course for saving up! ---

i don’t think they will drop all troop in the same time, like they said they want us to get them all so they will probably make some special bundle with 2 or 3 troop in it ---

When you get the pvp update, you might end up getting 3 troops a week or more.
