**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?** Finally got my first Sheggra! Surprisingly she was Level 5 even though I’m not VIP-Level 5. **What are the steps to make it happen again?** Be VIP-Level 4 and get a new troop, I guess?! ---

Sounds like a case of the age-old “Off-by-One” program bug! ---

You must be the same kid who kept reminding the teacher that there was a homework… Oh please, theres a bug thats giving us free stuff, fix it… On a serious note though - Iam VIP level 4 and Ive got new troops at level 5 as well. (steam version) But I doubt this will be fixable though, since most people, myself included, leveled those troops above 5 already, not to mention I have tons of troops on level 5 I leveled there myself when I was on VIP 3. So in order to fix that with backwards compatibility, the devs would have to pull up all the logs, for each troop you got from a chest determine if it was wrongly level 5 when it shouldnt have, downgrade that troop to level 1 and refund you any souls you spent leveling it past 5. As a programmer myself, I can tell you thats basically unfeasible without some ridiculous downtime or a rollback. ---

Or they just fix the fact that VIP 4 get the bonus and let you keep the error. =P Most likely outcome considering they’ve done so before. The staff here aren’t the types to revoke minor bugs that inflict no negative backlash. They let those who earned a bunch of extra keys via daily reset glitch use them, so this will be a similar case. ---
