Hero Review

Krampus Review: The Undispellable Wall of Winter

"Before he donned the flashy suit, Krampus was a simple goat-demon with a dream: to absorb infinite damage. Discover why the original base form might actually be the superior tank in today's dispel-heavy meta."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Krampus 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 Sorcerer, 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.
