Modthryth Review: The Remorseless Mana-Cutting Mirror
"Modthryth arrived as the 5-star answer to Ferant, bringing mana reduction on counterattack to the big leagues. But does this Shieldmaiden still hold the line against modern power creep, or has the nerf to Average speed left her defenses shattered? Read our deep dive analysis."

Release Date

Release Date
About Release Dates
This shows the release date of Modthryth 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
No Costumes Available
This hero does not currently have any costumes in the game. As a result, they do not appear in the Visiting Outfitter events.

Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Modthryth 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.
