Cobalt Node 19

[Guvnor]

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.
