Hm, I had just lost an to an opponent, so I think that means my pets were active… they all had 1 energy though from the loss. And I didn't watch the tutorial video (very silly of me) So I didn’t know about exiting the map through the button on the corner. So I didn’t click the exit button, but I just downgraded them to a group. I didn’t see any errors or anything, and I just logged out, not knowing my pets were still on the battlefield. I thought that they would automatically leave the battlefield when disbanded into a group, but they did not. Today I came back from school… and I try to put my pets into a squad. It wouldn’t let me because it said the pets were busy on the battlefield. So I went to the tactics map to see if there was some problem, but at the top it told me I should make a squad. It did scare me a little, some of those pets are pretty special to me.
So basically in short downgraded the squad to a group but I didn’t exit on the map.
