Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Frond 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. Additionally, as a Ranger, this hero can unlock a +2% Mana Bonus through Emblems (Talent Tree). These bonuses can significantly lower the troop level required to reach these breakpoints.
