Hero Review

Mena: The Fluffy Menace

"Don't let the fluff fool you. Mena might look like a cuddly monster, but his mana-cutting volleys are a nightmare to deal with. We break down why this Gargoyle is basically Luna's aggressive cousin and if he still holds up against the latest power creep."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Mena 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. Additionally, as a Ranger, 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.
