Does Neith get the 2% mana increase or the 22 defense increase.
I have level 15 mana troops, and Ariel at 16+ on defense.
I have emblems I need to move off chao at +20
Based on my preferationa I would do defense path on Neith. Her strenght is to keep you alive so she needs to stay alive.
Your troops are close to lvl17 and very far away from lvl23. She’ll be able to charge at 9 tiles with lvl17 troops if you take the mana node and it makes a huge difference on offense. I’d recommend taking the mana node. I took it and never regretted it. After many months, i still don’t have the lvl23 mana troops so that node paid off really well
