Why don’t we just make every troop and every Hero weapon completely identical? And not worry about colors or classes or kingdoms or any of that (stuff) at all? (/sarcasm) ---

Purple - Thrall Green - Bogstrider Red/Green - Marilith Yellow/Brown - Bork Red/Yellow - Emberclaw Brown/Yellow/Purple - Pharaoh Khafru For blue the closest option is to use multiple copies of Takshaka but I really do agree with OP, we need a proper, magic based gem destroyer like Thrall/Marilith/Bork for blue colour. ---

on top of the ones Hazard mentioned: Red/Brown - Angry Mob Red/Green - Egg Thief (functional with enough magic or gold boost) Brown - Dragon’s Eye Hero weapon (functional with outside help from magic boosts) Blue could use a proper one for sure. I’m all for each color doing things best at something, but for basic functionality like exploding, destroying, and making a perma storm, every color should be able to do it. If anything, variety in colors being able to do things is nice. How many more bajillion yellow gems to skull/doomskull/uber doomskull troops do we need? ---

I always thought that rogues should get a nice blue mana generator like thrall. When night spider got nerfed into the ground with web gems overriding existing purple gems on the board, that was a sad day… ---

Yes these troops and well angry mob… Anu sceptre and azura are close but not quite the same effect as the other troops. Merchant prince would be close and captain skull beard but not quite the same effect. We have weapons that explode every colour but nothing that fills mana destroying gems on blue that uses blue, fence destroys all purple Ursky would be perfect if he destroyed more then 8 gems and scaled off magic\<----------------- ---

This is a very old request that dates back to early GW days. But frankly, we don’t need a blue gem exploder because there are so many other strong looping and empowered gem-converting blue troops. Queen Bey is arguably the single-best troop in the game, plus there’s Sycorax who can basically loop infinitely. And don’t forget Rope Dart and Mistralus which each provide extra turns. In short, blue is already one of the strongest overall colors in the game, no need for an exploder. ---

Also, tidecaller class is blue focused, and explodes a lot, so it’s not like you’re lacking exploding with blue, overall. And I like that different things feel different, like blue troops and red troops aren’t exactly the same. As long as they are roughly balanced, it’s better not to just be the same as each other. ---

Exploding and destroying gems are two different things though. Even though we have pretty good blue exploder options, we DO need a blue coloured gem destroyer like Marilith, Thrall etc. ---

I wasnt asking for a blue exploder or a lightning gem trait that explodes blue. i was asking for a troop like marilith, bork and thrall that destroys gems. I dont care about exploders… theres over 100 different exploders ---
