I would even suggest preferring Rok’Gar the Guardian against Gar’Nok since if it truly give 1.18x on average, it means that it would give 15 \* 1.18 = 17.7 points on average. Good luck to all! ---

On the other hand - battles don’t reset, so rules are more simple: avoid: Brawlmaster Bur’Nakh when possible ---

All of the ones for this campaign are probably scheduled to post already when the time comes. Its possible all of the posts until the next update are ready to post as well. ---

You keep providing the laughs with in game names; seriously: ‘turn to stone’; all it makes us think, is how the developers turn to stone at every reasonable player suggestion for the benefit of the game. ---

Lol good one. 🤣🤣😉 Now we just have to wait some years to get him fixed… Like the Doomed Blade/Doomed Club. ---

I haven’t had a problem with this new troop. In fact, he’s the first of the “1-3 Potion” troops I’ve used, specifically because he converts, and so you can try to plan around getting an extra turn out of him. I think he’s fantastic for this event. I have him in first slot. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/8/b8ef081c25594ea53c38cba7c4b022888728806c.jpeg) ---

It is just like the Doomed Blade or Doomed Club before they finally fixed it. Most of the times went well. I also used the new troop for several fights, until 2 times where the mana potions replaced some skulls which was just converted from blue. It was ok for the early fight, but I am not taking the chance on higher fights. ---

Yeah, they couldn’t have given us a good orc troop. That wouldn’t fit the kingdom. All these troops suck with their 50% chance to give the turn and the potions to the enemy. No, thanks. ---

Totally useless troops, all of them. Never used any of them and never will. They are just wasting their time with these junks. ---

They used to have a 100% chance of an extra turn given an afflicted status effect, so while I’m not happy with the direction the nerf took, I’d much rather have six useless troops than six overpowered troops. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/turn-to-stone/71941.md?page=2)
