Carol: The Ghost of Christmas... 'Wait For It'

"Carol brings gifts, but you can't open them for three turns. Is this 4-star sorcerer a tactical genius with her mana cuts and delayed bombs, or just a lump of coal in your roster? We break down her updated kit, the addition of minions, and whether she can survive in the modern era."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Carol has Fast mana speed, requiring 8 tiles to charge. Equipping troops with a Mana Bonus can reach specific Breakpoints β€” the exact percentages where your tile count drops β€” allowing your hero to fire their special skill faster, with less tiles.
