Release Date

Release Date
About Release Dates
This shows the release date of Kettle in Empires & Puzzles. This date determines eligibility for various game events like Hero Coach (2 years after base hero release) and Visiting Outfitter (549 days after release for the first costume).
Hero Coach Info
Hero Coach Date
How it works
By utilizing the Hero Coach, you can reach the Maximum Ascension of a Legendary hero instantly. This bypasses the requirement for rare 4★ Materials (like Alpha Aethers and Damaskus Blades) and ignores the traditional leveling time.
Visiting Outfitter Info
Visiting Outfitter Date
How it works
The Visiting Outfitter is a recurring event that allows you to use Gems to buy the Oldest Missing Costume for a specific hero. This is a guaranteed way to unlock powerful Stat Bonuses and alternate skills for heroes already in your roster.
Matching Legendary Troops


















These troops provide full Class Synergy bonuses when equipped on Cleric heroes of the Blue element.

Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Kettle has Slow mana speed, requiring 12 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 Cleric, this hero can unlock a +2% 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.
