Hero Review

Quartz: The Ninja of Clean Slates & Dirty Diapers

"Remember when a 5-tile cleanse was revolutionary? Quartz brings the speed of a ninja and the fragility of a faberge egg. We dive deep into whether his 'Incite Ki' special can still keep your team alive or if he's just a purple participation trophy in the age of 3000 HP monsters. Spoiler: It involves a lot of emblems."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Quartz has Ninja mana speed, requiring 4.9 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.
