Too be clear, I’m not judging the troop based on how the AI plays it. I’m saying that the ability and traits of Crimson Bat are not threatening or hard to set up. But, maybe there’s something I’m missing. And when you say 3x skull damage, you mean after you’ve used its ability and only against Divine? Also, what counts as a “wounded” enemy? ---

Yeah thats right, only life damage taken. Sometimes the cursed trait takes -2 life of each enemies in the beginning for bats, that means they can do double skull damage right at the start of the battle. Very nice. ---

@Testr Crimson Bat is all about speed and utility. Pairing him with Valkyrie means multiple souls and quick(er) matches. Crimson Bat is an offensive powerhouse at lower levels; if you are fortunate enough to get him. By far one of the top tier legendaries. I hope you get one soon. ---

> [@Macawi](#): > > Sorry for giving ya the wrong info, my apologies. No problem at all. I know it wasn’t intentional. And since I didn’t consider the possible interaction between Cursed and Bloodsucking, I’m glad there was a conversation about it. ---

Well I have one. I guess I should try it out before the Reward Chest changes to see if I want to fully trait it. ---

If you have the stones for him, I would trait him. I can not endorse Crimson Bat enough. ---

Yeah, he’s one of the few legendaries where the traits actually are synergistic.
