Hero Review

Costumed Aino Review: The Lake Maiden's Song Gets Louder

"The Lake Maiden has emerged from the waters with a new look and, more importantly, a massive stat overhaul. Costumed Aino takes everything good about the original—the cleanse, the mana cut—and wraps it in a modern, durable package. Is she now the queen of Blue healers?"

About Release Dates

This shows the release date of Aino C1 in Empires & Puzzles. Parent hero Aino was originally released on Jun 20th, 2022. This date determines eligibility for various game events like Hero Coach (2 years after base hero release) and Visiting Outfitter (549 days after release for the first costume).

Hero Coach Info

Hero Coach
Train Your Hero

Hero Coach Date

Trainable Since
Jun 20th, 2024

How it works

By utilizing the Hero Coach, you can reach the Maximum Ascension of a Legendary hero instantly. This bypasses the requirement for rare 4★ Materials (like Alpha Aethers and Damaskus Blades) and ignores the traditional leveling time. Note: Eligibility is determined by the Base Hero release date. While costumes cannot be coached directly, coaching the base hero provides the foundation for costume utilization.

Visiting Outfitter Date

Available Since

How it works

The Visiting Outfitter is a recurring event that allows you to use Gems to buy the Oldest Missing Costume for a specific hero. This is a guaranteed way to unlock powerful Stat Bonuses and alternate skills for heroes already in your roster.

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Aino C1 has Average mana speed, requiring 10 tiles to charge. Equipping troops with a Mana Bonus can reach specific Breakpoints — the exact percentages where your tile count drops — allowing your hero to fire their special skill faster, with less tiles. Additionally, as a Monk, this hero can unlock a +4% Mana Bonus through Emblems (Talent Tree). Also, with the Costume Bonus active, they gain an extra +5% Mana Bonus. These bonuses can significantly lower the troop level required to reach these breakpoints.
