Literally never used my widow queen before today, but I got randomly curious. Since she can’t target herself anymore, what would happen if she’s only troop in a team? Would she just be unable to cast? Nope, you get one “free” summon. 1) Target Not Available; 2) deal small base damage, NOT boosted by life (my base is 11 here); 3) free summon. I guess working as intended since it applies the spell without any extra damage. But this basically means infinite summons/sacrifice loop as long as Queen stays alive. I can’t imagine any use for this stupid trick though, except the old snotstone “summon X troops” which went away a long time ago. I searched for threads before posting, but apparently no one else uses their widow Queen either 😉 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/4/d402313450769123aff8a075bf5522cd3780b442.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/7/b7c18cbe57381082ddb4069d191e2b55ac7a70e2.png) ---

I used her during the doom tower this week and also had one instance where i noticed she wouldnt sacrifice herself as the last troop. I did win the match when the summoned troop was enough to give me the advantage. Fairly insignificant but handy in a pinch…imo. ---

Hah, desperate times call for desperate measures 😉 After I posted I realized this is how Black Beast works too (execute half the spell when solo or an impervious ally) so it’s not actually as neat a trick as I thought. Side note anyone using black beast? 😂 ---

Well, that’s good news then. Vash Dagon may do the same thing… ---

Yep, upcoming Vash is part of what made me curious. We will see… ---

Vash’s spell has specific language about checking if the troop being devoured, so I don’t think this would apply to him. > [@](#): > > Devour an Ally, then summon a Daemon if the Ally is devoured. Deal [Magic + 16] true scatter damage, boosted by my Life. [3:1] ---

Oh yeah, I forgot that description had been changed. Perhaps this is why
