So many new things to learn in the new patch. What exactly is the upside down fist or gauntlet thing in the PvP section? And what does the number next to it mean? Thanx in advance. ---

This is Team Power. It’s a score based on your team’s levels, ascension, base rarity, kingdom bonuses, gem masteries, and traits. Sirrian explains it briefly in the PVP Preview video. ---

That’s that team’s calculated power level. This is based on the base rarity, level, and traits of all the troops. (Possibly not including the base rarity.) ---
