Alasie’s mana speed category is “Fast”
But, in battles this category doesn’t works.
I have in the same team a blue 4* heroe: Grim, with an “average” mana speed and they almost activate their special movements at the same time.
Why?
How many blue tiles makes the diference between an average and fast mana speed category?
1 tile?
Do you have Alasie in your team?
Do you feel her mana speed is “Fast”?
Regards!
That depends on the troop you put in each heroes.
Without mana troop or mana node in talent, average need 10 puzzles while fast need 8.
Grimm with mana node and level 17 mana troops only need 9 puzzles. It can also be achieved without mana node in talent if the mana troop is at level 23:
Mana node in talent + level 17 mana troop:
9 × (100%+2%+11%) = 10.17 > 10
9 is enough to charge.
No mana node in talent but with level 23 mana troop:
9 × (100%+0%+13%) = 10.17 > 10
9 is enough to charge.
Alasie without mana node in talent and without level 29 mana troop will still need 8 puzzles:
By matching 3 blue puzzles 3 time, you had use 9 blue puzzles, which means bot of them are fully charged.
Both heroes haven’t mana node in talent, yet.
Both heroes use 3* troops at level 8.
I just count the tiles
In adventure:
Alasie takes 6 blue tiles to activate her special.
In Raids:
Takes 8-9 blue tiles to activate her special.
I have 2 videos, but each one have 39MB
Are you sure you did not ghost some blue tiles (sending them through an empty space)? In that case it counts as 2 tiles.
Here is a chart made by @flyingsolow which shows exactly how many tiles every hero needs and what you can do to reduce the number of tiles required. Remember, ghosting counts as two tiles. So if you send 2 tiles into an empty space without hitting a hero, it will count as 4 tiles.
I can only make fast hero without mana node to fire with only 6 tiles if I use Ariel skill + level 17 mana troops.
Unless as @ThePirateKing mentioned, some of the tiles hit blank thus their mana count are doubled.
In that case it seems at least one of the last tiles is ghosted when you match 3 puzzles 3 times.
8 puzzles hit hero
1 puzzle hit empty space
8 + (1 × 2) = 10
Enough to fire both fast and average.
Check tis video at YT.
Mode: Raid PvP
Alasie tooks 8-9 blue tiles
And Grim tooks 10 tiles
No ghost tiles.
She doesn’t has fast mana speed, to me.
It took her 8 tiles to charge. Grimm 10. All is well with the world
You use both heroes during the current raid tourney. All mana setting of any hero is set to very fast since the modifier is a rush tourney.
Your video seems to be consistent with explanations offered by @yelnats_24 & @ThePirateKing.
Seems also that Alasie is working as intended.
The battle was in normal PVP.
Looks like I must use the help of ghost tiles often.
Thanks.
Maybe this will help more than numbers. Take a look. This is a screen shot from your vid, around 0:20, where you can see the difference between fast and average charging after 6 blue tiles. It’s quite noticeble. Tap the screenshot for a better view.
At 0:51 you make another 3 tiles blue combo, charging Alasie (a total of 9 tiles) but leaving Grimm uncharged. Only two seconds after, at 0:53, during the cascade blows a red dragon that activates the blue tile next to it, bringing the blue tiles total up to 10, and charging Grimm. 100% normal.
