Hero Review

Santa Claus: The Original Chimney Stuffer

"He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, and he knows his stats are from 2018. Is there any magic left in the old gift sack, or is he just coal for your roster? We unpack the original Christmas tank."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Santa Claus has Slow mana speed, requiring 12 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.
