Fighter Emblem path (mana bonus or crit boost)

[Bauglir]

Im sure this could apply to any class emblems but getting closer to +19 fighter node. With mana troops of lev23 is it better to go the route of mana bonus or crit boost. With costumes, emblem mana boost, or hero boost (4% mana regeneration) or even Alby, Ariel, Sif is it possible now to get a fast legendary hero such as joon or magni to 6 tiles to fire. Not a math guru and I know you all are

Cannot find the original thread, but I think there is no problem to share this table, which is very helpful for me.

With lvl17 mana troop and node 19 your boldtusk will only need 9 instead of 10 hitting tiles. Without node 19 you will need lvl23 troops for the same bonus.
9 is very close to fast (8 tiles), in both cases you need 3 matches of 3 tiles.
With the costume bonus (5%) lvl 5 troops work, too

Worth noting that that table is missing:

• Costume Bonus
• Special Skills which affect mana regeneration
• Elemental Link

Just something to keep in mind:

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)
• 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%)
