Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Griffex has Slow mana speed, requiring 12 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.
