When I logged on today to play, I collected event rewards yet Badge of Shadows did not evolve. Both Medal and Badge of Shadows are locked. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Once off issue that began today. Have restarted game multiple times. **Steps to make it happen again** I have tried to equip medals both from starting world event without medals equipped, and trying to equip medals before starting world event. Medals remain locked. ---

Either you need to close the game, or you may have used them to upgrade a troop.
