Hero Review

Craum, The Elemental Shaman: Massive Heals and Toxic Returns

"Meet Craum, the nature shaman who seemingly skipped medical school to lift heavy weights. Released in 2024, he heals your team for a massive 1400 boosted HP while throwing sand, water, and fire at your enemies. Is he a confusing mess or a tactical genius? We break down why this 'Barbarian-looking Druid' might still be the green healer your roster needs in late 2025, despite his aging stats. Discover his best emblem path, how to maximize his Ailment Reflect Aether Power, and why he’s a surprisingly good counter to the status-heavy meta."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Craum 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 Druid, 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.
