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%)
• Helheim & Niflheim Relm Bonus (7% / 12%) [SEASON 3 - BETA]

Slow Mana

12 tiles normally

Shave 1 tile = 10%
Shave 2 tile = 20% ← same as average @ 8 tiles.
Shave 3 tile = 34%

With the 5% costume bonus & 2% emblem bonus you’re at 7%

So for 1 tile saving a level 1 mana troop will work:
11 tiles = 10% boost
5% (costume) + 2% (emblem) + 5% (level 1-4 mana troop) = 11%

For 2 tile saving (now at average speed), you need an extra 13%. That’s a Level 23-28 mana troop

For 3 tile saving (down to 9 tiles) you need an extra 27%. This can’t be done without having an extra mana boost from a special skill.
