Hero Review

Livia: The Owl Priestess Who Says 'No U' to Debuffs

"Livia brings a unique kit to the Owl Tower family, mixing heavy damage reduction with ailment reflection. But with stats from early 2024, can this Holy Paladin still soar in a meta dominated by stat monsters? We break down her Moonrise Ward, her regen capabilities, and why she might be the niche support hero your roster needs."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Livia 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 Paladin, 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.
