Uninstalled and reinstalled and did another explore run. It now shows 18% on the tracker. I matched more than 18 in cast of Fire Spirt’s spell. And it shows only 18/100 for 5 battles? Guess i’ll try again later cause its not working for me at all. ---

I unlocked burning gems and freeze gems pretty quickly (fire spirit/helliya), so the tracker didn’t super matter there.. but for barrier gems, I found if I wanted to see the tracker rise, I had to go to my Xbox profile and check Gems of War to update it, kinda the same way you’d do that to check for new achievements if the Game Activity achievement list doesn’t update itself. ---

Didn’t have any issue with the 3 achievements unlocking today. I played 1 dungeon battle where there were no burning or freeze gems and both popped after the battle finished. I then started grinding out the barrier gems and it unlocked without issue. No idea why they just didn’t unlock yesterday when I had completed the requirements for them. ---

Bless can’t cleanse a cursed troop. You have Khafru on the enemy team who can spam curse gems and explode. Wand of Stars blesses your team, it doesn’t cleanse it. Enemy team also has Immortal Ossifer who curses and stuns on 4 match. ---

Bless has always worked this way. If a troop is cursed, the bless and curse cancel each other out, and no cleanse happens. Bless removes the Curse, but nothing else. Similarly if you use Curse on a troop with Bless, the Bless gets removed, but no other beneficial effects. Curse can’t dispel a Blessed troop (or one that’s immune to Curse). ---

Looking at your video backs up what I said, your troops were all cursed when you cast Wand except Hero. Notice how the purple shimmer from curse disappears when you cast. Ossifer’s Curse trait can pile curse on your team with 4 matches, without being very noticeable especially with elemental force piling other ailments at the same time. ---
