A thorny quirk

A thorny quirk
I don't know if this existed before the patch or not, but I played around with the new bramble and found this:

When you scramble a thorn all the child thorns will be converted and health will be set to 1 for all.
When you scramble a bramble it is uprooted so all thorns disappear.

Somewhat strange in itself but it gets stranger:
You scramble some thorns. The opponents brambler maybe uproots and jumps away while you keep your scrambled thorns. Later in the game you scramble the bramble and start using it to create thorns. Now you have two groups of thorns, one attached to the bramble and one bramble free. Now if you unroot the bramble both groups of thorns will be removed!

A bit contradictory but I think unintended behaviors can be quite charming as long as they don't affect balance too much!

Before, if you scramble a thorn patch, all its children unroots. I don't know about the scrambling Bramble part.

I hear there's a secret Mobi hidden here somewhere…

No I tried it before. It gives you the children at 1 hp

RE: A thorny quirk
The first point was changed in the previous update but the second one should be fixed imo!

I meant before the update. I tried it before and all the children unrooted themselves and i thought to myself, "thats not fair"

RE: A thorny quirk
The bramble uprooting upon scrambling made sense previously when you couldn't uproot thorns. It allowed you to move the brambler and make new thorns in the same turn and kept you from being stuck with sub-optimal thorn positions.

With the new rules however it no longer makes sense.
Scrambling a brambler (which would be quite a feet) should win you its entire thorn network.
