Spent over 3000 glory on Fire Lizard… for the minor fire stones! But hey, only 30 more minor red to 5\* Grosh-nak _twirls pinky_ ---

Or some mode that can actually award multiple traitstones, to make use of the counter on the victory screen! Treasure Hunt doesn’t count, because the reward screen is different entirely. ---

Thanks to the Lava traitstones, I finally fully traited Mechanist and Tankbot. … Not that I’m planning on playing a Mech team anytime soon. ---

I put together a mech team that I am dying to use. I think it might be fun as a defense team, but I lost interest in PVP recently so I am not in anyone’s attack rotation to check if it’s any good. Tankbot Carnex Sparkgrinder Deep Borer Using the yellow/purple banner, but may switch to yellow/red. Trails are almost optional. Two on Tankbot, three on Carnex, and three on Deep Borer would be nice, but they’re hardly dealbreakers if not available. ---

Why does magma and lava have two different names even though they are the same thing but in different locations? ---

“The words magma and lava are very easy to compare and contrast. The words means the essentially the same thing, they are both molten rocks. The difference lies in location; magma is molten rock underneath the Earth’s surface while lava is magma that has come up to the surface.” Source: [Sign In — Penn Foster Community](https://community.pennfoster.edu/thread/45527) ---

> [@Sirrian](#): > > New Troop: Lava Elemental > [@Sirrian](#): > > New Troop: Fire Lizard Were either of these added to the Arena pool? I haven’t stumbled upon either yet (within quite a few runs already), and since they’re both _reeeeally good_ for Arena, I expect they would be drafted quite often if available. ^^ Edit: Plus, people seem attracted to novelty. I regularly face teams with Kopeshi or Dwarven Slayer, and these are _terrible_ Arena picks. So my guess is that if I don’t see these two powerful new burners, they must not be available.
