Is there a case to be made for Atomos in my team?

I would lean towards Atomos over Hatter if the +2 Mana regen combined with a mana troop makes him average mana, he can’t rely on Ariel, that will be luck based

I think what you basically want to look at is this:

Thought I’d do the math and try to summarize the effects of combining troops and class bonuses. The brief summary is as someone said earlier, if you have maxed mana troops class bonuses generally don’t make a difference. However, class bonuses do lower the troop level required to hit certain tile # thresholds. Example being a Ranger/Rogue like Athena/Domitia with average mana speed. Instead of requiring level 23 mana troops to require 9 tiles to charge, they only require their class level 8 mana bonus plus level 17 mana troops.

So much of this is situational, but if you get a class bonus it could definitely lower the troop level you need to drop the number of tiles needed to charge a special.

The dumb part is most of the mana bonuses don’t come until level 19/20. So maybe in a year this will become useful?

In upshot, you’re asking to knock 2 tiles off of Atomos’ speed, which, according to this chart, would require a 20% boost to mana.

Even a level 28 mana troop (15%) plus Atomos’ +19 upgrade to increase mana production by 2% won’t hit that.

What the 2% bonus does do — when you unlock it after 1,255 Emblems — is reduce the mana troop level needed to knock off one tile from level 17 to level 11.
