Mana troops +23

[Guvnor]

@Ravah

Question. Should I proceed with upgrading manatroops over level 23 or is it better to upgrade my other manatroops to 11, 17 etc?

The biggest advantage/ break in terms of mana generation is the L23 mana troop. Breaking an average hero down one tile means that, more often than not, they charge with your fast mana heroes.

After L23 the value becomes lower for the food & feeder cost required… There is an argument for defence but IMO it doesn’t outweigh the cost to get there.

This is my personal strategy:

@Guvnor

Personally I have stopped mine at L23, due to the exhorbitant cost to take them to L29 (and also comparatively smaller benefit).

A fast hero already charges at 8 tiles. Getting the Average to 9 tiles means that (more often than not) the Average & Fast heroes in my team charge at the same time.

My war teams I also tend to build around two premises:

1. Having a cleanser on each team
2. Having heroes who are all mana charging at same/ similar times… So for me, dropping a Fast down to 7 tiles doesn’t really yield much benefit if the supportnig heroes for that sniper are not yet ready (e.g. Lepus charging in 7 doesn’t have much benefit if I have to wait for King Arthur to charge at 9 anyways).

My personal strategy has been:

• Mana to L17
• Crit to L10
• Mana #2 to L11
• Mana #1 to L23
• Mana #3 to L11

After that I plan to:

• Ninja to L10
• Mana #2 to L23
• Mana #3 to L17 (slow break)
• Mana #1 to L29 (maybe)

Regarding troops for defence, I also think that the difference between a L23 and L30 mana troop is fairly minor in the end. I don’t have any L30 troops but my defence team is one of the top 5 performers. The heroes make more of an impact than the troops do.

I’m currently finishing second Mana troops to L23 and then will work on the Ninja Troops next
