* When multiple Troop Bonus Events are run at the same time, the bonuses will stack.

Bonus Resource Events:

* These events will sometimes apply to specific game modes and difficulties.

Known Issues

* A “ghost” Orbweaver Hero may be triggered when it summons a Giant Spider on damage that caused death. (This doesn’t affect the game – it’s just a visual issue)
* Summoned Troops’ traits are sometimes not triggering correctly for some players.
* Troops summoned by the AI can occasionally have higher Skills than normal (particularly on higher Warlord difficulties).
* Transformed enemy’s traits are sometimes still triggering after being transformed for some players.
* Guild Rewards may not be sent out correctly for some players when too many players complete tasks at once, particularly after Weekly Reset.
* The Lion and Tiger Weapon is not working correctly for some players especially on older or slower devices.
* Troops that get summoned into a team slot, where a troop had previously been killed by a status effect (such as burning), may very occasionally be inflicted with the same status effect.

Please note this Update only applies to Steam, iOS and Android versions of the game.
