**Platform, device version and operating system:** IOS and Steam **Screenshot or image:** ![IMG_3652.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/5/557492c6a0dfda140ab0ee0746d1714daa48bf4e.jpeg) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** I was expecting a Firestorm to start the battle with Rubirath in 3rd position, but the battles started with Essencia’s Lightstorm or Stringfiddler’s Leafstorm. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** It happens every time I enter an Explore battle with this troop arrangement. **Steps to make it happen again** Enter any explore battle with duplicate troops (Rubirath in this case) that start a storm in positions 1 and 3. Place a different troop in position 2 that also starts a storm at the beginning of battle. The troop in position 2 will dictate the storm that starts the battle. ---

Not sure if working as intended, but since the “third” troop is essencially the first troop **share** these traits once so it counts the very first one position troop traits. And then start to count any other different troop, like in this case Essencia Lightstorm ---

Tested it and it also happens when the third troop is not the same troop: ![329110_20220908201556_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/8/28e926f4a5d39aac5c8c7b226583e39e28289b69.jpeg) There should be a Firestorm from Spell-Paw. ---

So is the SAME trait trigger on same instant. This example is Song of earth Song of light Song of light Song of earth ![Screenshot_2022-09-08-20-46-20-140_air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/f/3f0128c428b5684e194e0c248f2067a547f86678.jpeg) Than is start battle with lightstorm, cause fourth troop triggers that trait at the same time of the first troop. * * * In other case this Song of earth Song of light Song of light Start everyturn with brown storm Battle start with brown storm because Czernobog have completely different trait ![Screenshot_2022-09-08-20-47-09-143_air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/7/277e6ca891d3dda0aa18189c7c86496d0fec7bbc.jpeg) ---

Yes, that’s it. Used a class trait that also has a storm at start of battle Song of nature Song of light Nature’s Aura from archer Song of light Triggers leafstorm: ![329110_20220908213449_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/b/ebc228726c00f6d4d47b08444e4a9b8e26874c3d.jpeg)
