By utilizing the Hero Coach, you can reach the Maximum Ascension of a Legendary hero instantly. This bypasses the requirement for rare 4β Materials (like Alpha Aethers and Damaskus Blades) and ignores the traditional leveling time.
Visiting Outfitter Info

Mana Optimization Strategy
How it works
By default, Tofana has Average mana speed, requiring 10 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 Sorcerer, this hero can unlock a +4% Mana Bonus through Emblems (Talent Tree). These bonuses can significantly lower the troop level required to reach these breakpoints.
