Costume mana bonus - does it make a difference?

So does a maxed costume with mana troop effect any speeds by a tile now?

As in… Is it now possible to bring a slow hero down to average? Etc

Technically, yes. But to bring a 5* down from 12 tiles to 11 you would need 10% increased. With a maxed costume (5%) this could be achieved with a level 5 4* mana troop.
However, to bring a slow hero down to 10 tiles ( average mana charge) you would need a 20% mana increase. So you would need a maxed costume (5%) and a level 29 4* mana troop (15%)

So not easily obtained but yes it’s possible.

A level 23 mana troop (13%) + costume (5%) + mana node class bonus (2% or 4%) also would work, also very hard to accomplish.

I should add: Even with the costumes increased mana, in any case you’ll need a mana troops assistance. Also slow heros are the only ones that are capable of shaving 2 tiles.
For the other speeds of mana charging heros the costume will only assist in needing a lower level mana troop.
** I doubt they will ever make a very slow hero costume, this would be the only exception.

It can make a huge difference.

This is my old purple mono team

This is my new purple mono after maxing costumed Rigard

Why is it better?

I lose Khionas direct damage, but it was usually being wasted. Her heals are almost the same (over more turns) and her +ATK “could” be higher for her and flanks, but after she would cast, there would only be 2 enemies left that these 3 could take a hit from.

With the new Rigard I get

  1. To shift my lvl 11 mana troop to him, increasing his speed. So that…
  2. He can be fired first giving all (not just 3) heroes +48% attack…and
  3. Hel gets the lvl 23 troops so that all heroes are ready to cast at the same time (Kage may be up a turn sooner).
  4. Bonus is a faster heal and a cure.

So the costumes let you spread out your mana troops more allowing you to speed up more than just the costumed hero (depending on your troops).

Btw, rigard would only need a level 5 troop, so you probably have what it takes to shift that 11 back to Kage. :slight_smile:

Hello guys,

Does the last talent node from Alberich need to be added if I use his costume? Does the last talent node have an impact on how mana is charged?

The Alberich is a druid class and the mana node is at 20.

His costume is a cleric class and the mana node is at 19.

Thanks
