The details tag I saw referred elsewhere might be useful. Something like

> **Converter/Transformer**
>
> > **Red**
> >
> > Hellcat
> 
> > **Green**
> >
> > Green Seer

?

You can access it under the options button, “hide details” option (together with blur spoiler and build poll).  
Except that I apparently can’t get a details in a details working. And it works in the preview pane ☹

@lyya’s excellent troops table offers similar features by keywords / actions in the spell text, but not with simple role labels…

@Thock have you used / worked with that site?

@Jainus  
i have but for some reason i wasn’t able to get the info i was looking for fast enough. i would go there and try to find, lets say, a troop that makes red mana. and i couldn’t find the right search options. i gave it a good search and i might have missed them but the only way i was able to find things was by ctrl+f and typing what i was looking for, and searching for the highlighted text. and all i wanted was red mana generation. it was a lot of work to find something simple. i just want to make a simplified text to help with team building on a basic level. i have only been playing gems for a month and i dont have all troops with basic tools memorized, so this was going to be a personal aid but i thought why not post it on the forum.

In general, the “Spell Effects” column contains almost all of what you’re intending to do here, and stays up to date automatically as the rest of the site updates.

@Lyya except that there’s no difference between split damage and AoE damage (Infernal King vs Crimson Bat both list their damage as (all)).  
But that’s an awesome feature indeed.

I can add a differentiator between split and fixed AoE damage if it’s something people would use when team building.

No problem - I’m glad it can be of use! I do a terrible job advertising the filtering features so basically nobody knows it is there 😕

maybe put preset options on the filter so people can get an idea on how to word their search? like i tried “create red” and it found nothing XD your constancy with wording makes that completely possible.

Good idea 🙂 Perhaps a cheat sheet would be helpful on the page itself. I’ll look at adding one!

I had tried this in the past but couldn’t figure out the right combination of terms, and never think to go to table view in the first place.

Because @lyya generates the pages automatically (and brilliantly) from the game code, she can’t easily create manual tags like ‘AoE’ or ‘tank’.

I was nagging to differentiate ‘split’ and ‘AoE’ damage though; @lyya that’s worth doing if you can 😃
