When sand shark is in a battle he has a boost value of 1:1 but nothing in his spell to describe what is being boosted or boosted by what. I have noticed that the boost seems to be linked to his starting attack value, in one fight it was +60 and another I equipped 3x season medals and the boost went to +72 (though if I click on and off the screen a few times it goes from 72 to 74 and back again). It might just be me but it seems like he’s devouring more often… Anyone else experiencing the same? ---

Something weird is going on… This is in Arena. Sand Shark has used ability twice and has devoured my troops twice in a row. Now look at Boost. It says +5. What? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/a/fa56eb1e9f93791ae8a8a78c2ed8f7c9f3fd5ae1.jpeg) But wait! If I close it and open it again… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/9/39e3bd3acae226154ac138986190bc02181e331b.jpeg) Now it says +6. What does that mean!? It says 25% chance to devour. It doesn’t say it’s boosted by anything. And why does it keep changing between 5 and 6 boost? What does that even mean? ---

Yeah thats what I meant! Use him in a team outside arena and his boost is huge. Its based off of starting attack power, not current attack. ---

Just tried him out in cpvp. Here’s a weird one: Moa stunned him and the boost disappeared: ![Screenshot_20201126-132817_639543440735615bbc36855b9e156373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/c/3cde32c3dc70be3a7e3b06cbfc5aec7a9f35da11.jpeg) Boost returns on cleanse: ![Screenshot_20201126-132832_639543440735615bbc36855b9e156373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/9/99f87c1042882699f0595811d2471557e6ab4c60.jpeg) Then he got stunned again (thanks Moa 🙄) but this time still has a boost: ![Screenshot_20201126-132853_639543440735615bbc36855b9e156373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/1/611147168f037a872870563587754fa797a09dff.jpeg) 🤷‍♂️ ---

Wow, this needs to be a Bug Report post. There’s good amount of proof to show to the devs as well. Thanks for pointing it out. @Cairnso
