Noticed a change to the 250 gem recruit, got it, tested it.
Having it as a leader actually makes the game more interesting XD
A trade-off of really high hp for low damage is an amazing change.
I'm already enjoying doing the advanced maps, and now I have something that actually makes me want to change my team to accommodate a new strategy.
My team is now Wuzetian (6 star), Vermillion Bird (6 star), Ferret Goddess (8 star), Mafdet (7 star) and Guardian of the West (8 star)
