I’ll let you know the scope of the fix when it goes in. It will likely make it so no summoned troop can do a cast once per battle (on your team side) if you have already cast that spell previously. This won’t just be for Archdeva, but will likely encompass all cast once troops. ---

Thanks Salty and devs for considering this. You can close this thread as well. I think that the essential about this have been discussed already. ---

should probably leave it open until it actually gets fixed, incase something doesn’t go right ---

I still think this is illogical. If I sacrifice 2 slots for two troops I at least want to cast each of them once. If you summon such troop you just summoned a useless junk. ---

i would agree on this, it should be 1 cast per troop per battle ---

But the Great Maw, youse guys — when single cast was introduced, it was because _Great Maws can devour entire teams._ Troops aren’t independently coded—at least not entirely. So all single-cast troops follow the same basic rule. It’s a corner the designers painted themselves into, so we’re stuck with it unless they rework Maw (or decide it’s no longer OP, like they did for Zuul). I agree that troops should always get a cast opportunity, because I personally don’t think it’s an insurmountable cheese strategy (and I’d _love_ to mow down anyone who tries to beat me with Archdevas, Maws, or that “die gloriously” guy), but I also get why it’s unbalanced (and maybe unhealthy for the game in terms of new and midgame level players). ---

Maybe a new mechanic in the future - cast X times only. e.g. Queen Beetrix - cast 5 times only 🙂 (per individual troop) You know, like how unlike wasps, when a honeybee stings you (just once) with their barbed lancets, they actually rip out their abdomen and die? ---

Queen Beetrix is fine for what she is right now. Imagine doing L500 delve, potionless, and she can only do 5 cast. I get annoyed when players like to nerf all the troops. Look at what happened to Gobtruffle. Now L500 Amanithrax delve is just so hard at hoard 100. “Players hate a useless mythic, but like to nerf great troops.” When you can actually think of it as a challenge and try to beat it. ---
