To everyone saying that these banners are weak, they are supposed to be. These aren't promo banners like the quetzel ones or the more recent abyss ones. The new banners are merely the spy equivalent of the starter Attack banners.
Why are people happy about these banners? I have over 2600 upgrade items for the troop banners and in addition to that enough bloodwood to upgrade all 6 banners to the max, too. But of course I will not do, I'm not going to waste my bronze bars. I'm also not interested in collecting the new banner items. Why can't we just use the same steel and cloth items that can upgrade the troop banners? These massive drops from the last EB of a series just creates notice messages that fill half the screen. Who wants to read that?
The banners seem really cool, luckily we can upgrade them. I got two myself already and the new players in my clan are wondering how to upgrade them and everything. I told them through epics? But I'm not sure myself. If they had a little more boost and then you upgrade them, I would totally rock them, but truthfully I'll stick to my regularly banner until then. Thank you KaW for always having fresh ideas to make this game more fun and exciting.
