**Platform, device and operation system** Google Pixel 3A **What were you expecting to happen, and what actually happened** In recent days I have experienced experienced an issue where, when an enemy will die, the battle will soft lock. Breathing animations will still play on the hero but I cannot progress in the battle. Sometimes I am able to tap the menu button to retreat but sometimes I am not. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** This happens in 90% of battles now, and started several days ago. I have not determined how to reliably reproduce the issue; I can sometimes progress through 2 or 3 fights but almost never all the way. **Steps to make it happen again** Again, I cannot fully reproduce exactly what triggers the issue and I am not sure the steps required to cause it. My best theory is it may have to do with one or more of my gear passives. ---

Hello, do you have Warlord’s Armguards equipped? ---

I do have the Armguards equipped, that is correct. This is the one that adds +10% crit for each big gem on the board? Is it causing the bug? Is there a way to unequip them so I can continue playing? ---

Sadly only way to unequip them is by equipping other ones. Had same problem. ---

I _do_ still have the Warlords Armguards equipped and I’m not having this bug anymore (last 3 days have been without problem) but I was experiencing this previously
