Also an opponent’s Buddy appeared in partial ghost form the second the match started. Ghost-ish appearance lasted through the entire match although Buddy did take damage in spite of visual.
Moderator’s Note:
Post formatting updated by @zephyr1 to separate out an unrelated issue about incomplete defense teams.
unrelated issue originally included
Team member showed partial war team fielded, which disappeared once war began.
This would be quite normal You need to field a full team or the system opts you out automatically at the start of the war. It waits that long to give you a chance to edit (or fix) your team.
I can’t help with the Buddy issue but it sounds like just a visual blip?
