Bai - which emblem path

[g8slord]

I think attack>defense is the way to go. Also do I grab the early mana bonus or go for the extra attack on the other side ? Does 2% make a difference?

Does 2% make a difference?

Bai-Yeong is a Fast Mana hero.

From another thread:

Chart:

Note, small error in that it is level 29-30 mana troop which gives +15% mana bonus

Chart Explanation:

Chart indicates the break points for mana troops.

Essentially the left side defines the base parameters…

• How many tiles each speed mana needs to charge
• What % mana boost the troops give
• What % mana boost the class bonus gives

The middle calculates how much mana boost is needed to change the number of tiles needed to charge the mana speeds.

The right side aligns those mana boost requirements with the troops levels/ class node combinations.

Sources of Mana Boosting

The sources of mana boost are:

• Mana troops (5% / 7% / 9% / 11% / 13% / 15%, level dependent)
• Class node (2% or 4%, class depending)
• Elemental link (4%)
• Special skills (24% - Ariel, Khagan, Bauchen, Sir Lancelot, Danzaburo, Brynhild)
• Pirates Family Bonus (2%/ 4%/ 7%/ 12%)
• Wonderland Family Bonus (2%/ 4%/ 7%/ 12%)
• Sakura Family Bonus (2%/ 4%/ 7%/ 12%)
• Costume Bonus (Select S1 heroes only - 5%)

---

So in order to mana break Bai, you need a cumulative total Mana Boost of 15%.
Troop Level 29 = 15%
vs.
Troop Level 23 + Class Bonus = 13% + 2% = 15%'

Another option:
Class Bonus + Elemental Link + Troop Level 11 = 2% + 4% + 9% = 15%
vs.
+ Elemental Link + Troop Level 17 = 4% + 11% = 15%

---

So basically, the 2% mana node drops your required troop for mana breaking down by one rung.

If he’s going to be on your defense (which, he really shouldn’t), then the mana might be beneficial. However, if he’s going to be mainly on offense (which, this is his best application) then the extra attack node is more beneficial.

The +2 mana is not going to affect too much on offense for fast heroes.

Great info, thank you both.
