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%)

Slow → Average Mana

Slow Mana (normally) = 12 tiles
Average Mana (normally) = 10 tiles

To go from 12 → 10 tiles needs a 20% Mana Boost.

To get this on Quintus you can either:

• Level 29 Mana Troop + Costume Bonus = 15+5=20%
• Level 23 Mana Troop + class node (node 20) + Costume Bonus = 13+4+5=22%
  (both monk & sorcerer class are node 20)
• Level 23 Mana Troop + Costume Bonus + Elemental Link (Seshat) = 13+5+4=22%
