Oct 13th, 2023

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. Note: Eligibility is determined by the Base Hero release date. While costumes cannot be coached directly, coaching the base hero provides the foundation for costume utilization.

Mana Optimization Strategy

How it works

By default, Wolfgang C1 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). Also, with the Costume Bonus active, they gain an extra +5% Mana Bonus. These bonuses can significantly lower the troop level required to reach these breakpoints.
