Hero Review

Gunktus: The Slime That Just Won't Die

"Gunktus is the definition of 'sticky' in Empires & Puzzles. This fast-speed Slime hero hits hard, buffs himself, and refuses to stay down, turning into a massive blob of HP upon death. In this review, we break down why this purple menace is still a headache to deal with and how to best utilize his relentless mechanics."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Gunktus 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.
