Hero Review

Staintongue: The Toxic Paladin Who Blinds The Competition

"Staintongue might look like a werewolf who found a radioactive club, but does his bite match his bark? We analyze if this Abyss Hunter's fast blind and poison can still hunt in the modern meta, or if he's just a stain on your roster."

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Staintongue 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 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.
