> [@Stratelier](#): > > Found (and, after multiple attempts, defeated) my first Underspire Diamantina this week. kinda worth noting, Diamantina is still a boss, so if you need extra firepower, definitely dont overlook anti-boss troops. Gets somewhat easier with just Lasher to deal with. Also, I definitely recommend trinkets vs Diamantina on non-easy weeks. It’s not really needed, but the game drops plenty and what else are they going to be used on? Most of em do great things, except the Doomskulls one, so it just secures the win (more). Kinda easy to forget about trinkets on most occasions. Congrats on your first Underspire Diamantina ---

Okay, yikes. that’s definitely the true raid mode experience right there then 😅 ---

Yeah but if you’re lucky you can at least Barrier against Diamantina’s damage. Not so lucky with Zuul or Dagg. ---

@Jeto I think it is time to remove hero weapon restrictions from the Underspire. It is bad enough as it is with the Kingdom restriction. I can’t be the only one. Please are you kind and forwarding this to the dev team? ---

You aren’t helping my suggestion above now. This is one of those kingdoms which does actually have a few good teams. ---

I’m sorry! I thought it was about this week. 😅 ---

I would rather keep weapon restrictions in underspire. That’s one of the things that makes this mode unique. ---

Mixed opinions around this means certainly that we won’t see any changes at all. ---

Surprised to learn that after you use the teleporter, you can backtrack through the locked doors without finding the keystones first. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/0/f0169f4429ce435c460910d47b83ef05eee0942b.jpeg) Not sure if bug. ---

It makes sense - the dragon’s blocking power only happens when you’re in its own area - no bug here 😆 ---

That shouldn’t be the case, obviously a mistake! ---

Or it’s a door locked “from the inside”, and therefore you can pass through it in that direction without needing a “key”. ---
