Thank you very much for the feedback, I took your advice and went straight health + def so far. I’m on node 8 though and I can choose either the mana boost (early in the tree for rangers) or +def.
I have blue mana troops and they’re currently at lvl 13. I know lvl 23 is a long way off but part of me thinks it would be a waste to choose the +mana node when I can eventually get there with mana troops. Anybody have any thoughts on that? I suppose looking at the amount of troops it takes to get there, maybe lvl 23 isn’t realistic for most people?
note: I didn’t get the mana troops until very recently so I have a lvl 14 non-mana 4* that took up most of my resources. I can feed that to the mana troops but I feel like that would be a mistake.
Since you are going the tank emblem path I think it makes sense to stick with the crit troop to double down in survival. I don’t tend to get too caught up on trying to cut down charge times on average speed heroes anyway. Maybe the math on the faster mana is mathematically the correct choice, but as you noted it’s a ton of resources to get there.
Yeah… some time has passed and I now have Lianna+6 for war def, Seshat maxed and emblemless and Athena still at +3. But picked up Finley complicating things further (yay!!).
Different alliance, new war tanks. As I also have found Alby, I’m thinking to eventually swap Lianna out for him and Finley in for blue meaning he would get most emblems. Waiting for tonics and scopes…
Must say I agree though with everyone saying Seshat is amazing. She is! Even without emblems. She’ll probably never make my war D though and thus can’t be a priority for emblems.
