Is it that hard to not ruin your own game?

In 350 fight on PvP in 6 days

Iv had 2 occurrences. Were IV all my troops
And the opposition with only wand has won.

It does happen, but itā€™s rare.

Even the fan gets the basket from across the court in a half time, million pound one throw challenge every now and then.

Just move on, not worth worrying about, till it happens constantly.

Unlucky RNG isnā€™t a bug.

Iā€™ve sat there with my entire team intact, killed all but hero on the other team. And the WoS just keeps going and goingā€¦

Legitimately waited about 5 minutes for it to stop looping/not get a 4+ match and then finally killed the hero.

Annoying? Yes.

A bug? No.

Just to add, itā€™s worked in my favour to.

Iv had wand, against 3 Takshakas about 100 life each left.

And iv looped and looped, took skull matches and won.

So it actually works both ways, defo no bug.

PvP: I used Leprechaun. Didnā€™t fill WoS in 1st. Filled it manually. Used it. Didnā€™t refill. Filled it manually again. Used it. Didnā€™t refill. Filled it manually once again. Used it. Didnā€™t refill. All the while using other troops in between and so did my opponent. Won the match.

Question: Why should WoS be nerfed?

Answer: It shouldnā€™t!

Everyone has other experiences, but that shouldnā€™t mean, many should get punished because a few say so. Simple. Case closed ā€¦

Necrocorn.
Copycat.
Detect-o-bot.

Annoying? Yes.
A bug? No ā€“ and at least those troops are easier to shut down.

Has anybody been able to figure out just what the odds of a 4+ match from casting the Wand of Stars is? I know what a lot of us believe that number to be, but I was wondering if anybody has crunched the numbers and figured out the actual chance of an extra turn happening.

Trying to do a comprehensive mathematical calculation of that would be ā€¦ extremely complicated, given how it depends specifically on board layout. A statistical aggregate (say, across 1,000 casts) would arguably be the more reliable measure, not to mention WAY easier to track.

I remember back with (pre nerf) Chalcedony I tried to start collecting my own data about how often (and how long) she looped, but I didnā€™t get near far enough to produce meaningful results.

Not empirical mind you, but hereā€™s my take on your chances.

There are 6 colors possible. We will pretend there are no storms active or anything else that prevents all colors from having the same drop rate.

Each Elemental Star is two colors. Thatā€™s 1 in 3 of it matching any one color on a side.
With four sides, thatā€™s 4 chances to get at least one side matching.

All it takes is one match to explode a row and column. This explosion can trigger other tokens, such as other Elemental stars.
