Dial up the damage this week…

**New Troop: Tuskar** [

The Tuskars of the Pridelands are large slow creatures who live in small family groups. Usually peaceful, they can be extremely dangerous if startled, trampling their foes.  
Also, they never forget…

**New Troop: Sunsail** [ 

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/d/df72d2a360bec5b354e527cbc542b335651dd6a8.png)

Sunsails can be seen year round in the Pridelands, stretched out in the midday sun. Cold-blooded creatures, they use their large sails to help regulate their body heat.  
Although they don’t look incredibly dangerous, their bite can leave a nasty infection.

**A Small Hero Buff**

In the 2.1.5 update we fixed a bug with Heroes & Kingdom Bonuses; the bug had given Heroes too many extra Skill Points from their Kingdom Bonuses. The downside of fixing the bug was that heroes lost some Skill Points, which created confusion for some players.

So, we decided that since heroes had been a little underpowered anyway, it was time for a small buff. Heroes will now gain extra skill points at the following levels:

- Attack at levels 55,110,190
- Armor at levels 75,95,130,160,225
- Life at levels 65,85,120,140,180
- Magic at levels 170,250  
This should bring a level 200 hero about on-par with a Mythic Troop for skill points, and allow them some improvement after that.

Please note this Event only applies to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.

Well then, looks like my hero is about to be a beef cake. I can’t wait to see how this affects the meta.

I like that the hero was buffed, don’t take me wrong, but I wish his magic went up at least 5 points. Afterall it’s mostly about magic for endgame players.

Good change, now if we could get a few more weapon changes, to make them viable, would be wonderful. And a fix to Lion and tiger weapon.

Cheers.

Helpful hint:

Go to the upper right where your icon is, click that, then Preferences:

Scroll down a ways to “Muted” and click and type a bit to get a list of all categories:

On mine you can see I have muted all Xbox/PS4 based categories, Guild stuff, Off topic, and Fantasy. This way I don’t see ANY messages posted there leaving my main view restricted to just what I want.

@Sirrian Daylight savings ended in the US today. Does that mean we should expect the reset an hour earlier tonight? 11pm PST instead of midnight now?
