Bucket O'soldiers

Anyone else sick of getting beat by this spell?

I know they want us to spend money, but cmon. That spell is a must have and if you get it out first you win.

First bad thing to happen to this game. Was great up until now. Must haves suck.

    If people know how to use it. If not,  it's a waste. I've had matches come down bucket vs bucket at the end of match

    That's assuming if both have the bucket spell. F2P players like me don't have the spell.
    This game is slowly getting rid of all f2p players. Sad.

    Agreed, its a terrible addition to the game. I switch to autoplay whenever an opponent has it - even if your levels higher, it can't be beat. players stop using anything other than basic attack cause what is the point? very annoying.

    I'm so angry about this spell! Hate it so much. It's broke any balance  :s

    We will be fixing 2 bugs with Bucket of Soldiers. 

    In the meantime use Charm and blind on it and when we fix the bug, stun it. 

    Also, we will be doing balance passes through the longevity of the game, this feedback has been passed along. 
    Bacon and Coffee, that's what I'm fueled by.

    Thank you.  I came looking to see if others were having the same issue.  It’s literally ruing the arena once someone drops that damn spell.

    Personally, I think the whole spell system needs to be looked at. Once you get to 7* team vs 7* team, the characters make little difference. The top meta teams now consist of nothing but 4 tanks with 3* Bucket of Soldiers and Wild Imagination, with either Hades or Ian thrown  in to refresh debuffs. The match becomes sitting and waiting to die from spell damage. These abilities really should be a one use assist to turn around battles, not the focus and main damage of a whole team.

    Same small group that didn’t wanna spend the extra few bucks crying in a free app that there are p2w aspects nothing new. I beat down many teams with bucket before I got mine l2p stop just repeating stuff others have said. If you are f2p no way you are facing top teams that are p2w so you can only repeat.

    This isn't a p2w vs. f2p issue. This is a general balance issue. Even if it was only p2w players with it (and it's not), it doesn't make sense for one spell to overshadow others so much, or to be the main deciding factor in a match so often.

    Like someone else said above, spells across the board should probably be toned down because they really overtake the pace of a battle a lot by themselves. But this spell in particular is also even more egregious than most.

    They were once available to players, but not at all since I started.  Unfortunately, they are basically a hard counter to my still leveling roster (current level 38), and it sucks that every other opponent in arena drops a bucket, I yawn, and auto ftl.

    BoS is completely OP. That and the way turns work in PvP... Not satisfying. 
    If you are easily provoked you are easily controlled.

    I'm f2p too, as well as my friend and we both got the bucket of soldiers at the buzz event that happened a short time ago. You could get it for free, without spending money. And I wasn't even strong, I didn't have any 5 star characters when the event came

    But I agree, any magic that is used by everyone must be rethought. Something that is mandatory is not good for strategy games

    Last week there was an update of several Spells. Nothing for the Bucket of Soldiers...

    It is extremely strong however as I climb ranks in pvp I am no longer seeing BoS in every team anymore.  Maybe 1 out of 4 now it is OP at one point then becomes a dust collector.
