Cobalt Node 19

[Godon7137]

I’m about to activate the 19th node in Cobalts emblem path. What would you choose? 2 % heal or 2 % Manabonus? He is placed left or right wing and Garnet is my tank. Thank you in advance.

I would probably go the alternate node.

I don’t think that the mana node is overly useful for the ninjas. From another thread:

@Guvnor

For me I would sa: "Not really no."

Per below, mana break-points for the Ninja Troops are:

• 9% for -1 tile on charge 2x
• 7% for -1 tile on charge 3x

As the mana node only gives +2% or +4% neither is really useful in terms of achieving a break-point on their own… You would still need to pair it with another mana troop

@Guvnor

Tiles to Charge Mana

TLDR: No mana troop will drop the tile requirements for the first charge but may be achievable for sequential charges.
It LOOKS to be about 4.8-4.9 tiles to charge each time.

Credit to @Rfm and @Epigenetic and some of the other Beta testers for finalising these numbers.

Troop	x1	x2	x3
Crit	5	10	15
Mana 5	5	10	14
Mana 11	5	9	14
Mana 17	5	9	14
Mana 23	5	9	14
Mana 29	5	9	13

I would probably go the crit node.

I’d go atkX bonus in that slot, if we are just picking from all bonuses that exist.

[Godon7137]

Thanks for the replies, but there are just heal bonus (maybe good Combo as having Garnet as Tank/Healer) and Manabonus (I don’t know how the Ninjas behave in Def with the Manabonus).

[Artamiss]

I would still get the mana nod as it gives you the flexibility on offense to put a level 5 mana troop under cobalt and preserve your high level mana troops for average speed heroes (e.g. frida/Glenda/loki).

Beside I don’t see any real value in 2% more heal…
