Smot's Arena and bribed rats

[Senior-Jefe]

Just tried Smot's Arena for the first time. My troop definintely needs more prep.

It didn't help that the Plague Rats took sides with the other team. The rats ran right past the opposite team and attacked my team. Dev's, please take a look.

I'm pretty sure it tells you that the team has plague rats at the beginning of combat (even if it wasn't clear from the fact that they are colored as enemies), as in the rats are allied with your enemies.

Back when I was a medieval fighter in the arena, the plague-infested rats were not allied with anyone; they took equal bites from all.

The poison clouds aren't allied with the enemy so the other random actions should be equal-opportunity too.

it dont says explicit that the rats are on the enemy team, it only says that rats enter the pit, was a nasty (and areana ending) surprise for me as well. but the problem lys to a good amount at the partly bad translations and very unclear descriptions in general.
if the Texters of that company woud make MtG Card Game Mechanic Explanation Texts the Tournament Judges woud all get fits, because all the murky explanation holes.

Why would you expect the rats to join you? What other part of the game would even hint at that?

To the original point, the rats should not be anyone's ally and attack whomever is closest.

exactly that ^^ is was the text sounds alike wizard, i never sayed i expected they work exclusive for me, but i also dont expected the dont work against the enemys.
its more than a little anoying to see the rat nearer to 3 enemy units pass them all, pass 3/4 of the arena, only to bite and plague infect one of my mercs.
