Quoting myself from another thread below with evidence etc…
In essence, for average to go to fast (i.e. from 10 → 8 tiles to charge), you need a 25% mana boost. This is not happening for Puss without a special skill being fired (e.g Ariel, Khagan etc…)
The other break point is for 10 tiles → 9 tiles (1 tile reduction) which needs 12% mana boost. This is much more achievable.
Puss Mana Node = 2%
Need a level 17 mana troop to get the break point (11%)
Alternatively something like an elemental link (+4%) in red will drop the mana troop level needed down to a level 5 troop.
