Mana farm?

[Handoiron]

I'm running into problems gathering sufficient amounts of mana atm.

Can anyone help me with a good / better / best mana farm?

Best way is to host connects. The higher the stars the better Mana flasks you get. Try to do the one that you can do without much challenge.

This works well. It just takes "wasting" a good bit of stamina to dial in on what star rating you can solo.

Unicorn farts are more common than people joining my hosted connects so far...

Usually i'm able to do *4 stars easily. but that's with purple frame not maxed out and decent *3 star equipment maxed.

Raids give crazy ammounts of mana compared to anything else, and also give skill gear (for equipment) which is otherwise fairly rare.

Downside being that while you can leech off CBs without spending stamina, raids require stamina (high level raids don't... but require doing well in low level raids)

High level raids require tickets though which drop in low level raids.

I did mention that, yes :P

If you can do well in raids though, you can fairly easily cap out your mana

I've figured out a few things about CB vs. Hero XP quest for mana specifically when you want to level heroes.

CB definitely seems better just from pure hero XP to stamina cost standpoint.

30 stamina hero XP quest gives 11880 XP to eahc hero so up to 59400 mana equivalent plus around 3k mana dropped and guaranteed 14k mana potion with a chance of a second 14k mana potion. Seems to average out to around 77-78k mana equivalent per run.

Hosting a 5* multi CB should be a guarantee of 2x 42k mana potions for 84k mana. You also get other CB drops on top of that. Clearly hosting a multi CB gives more stamina. You get no mana from CBs you don't spend stamina on though.

However, there is another factor to consider. CBs take much more time to run than the hero XP quests. If you have a butt load of stamina to get through and want to use it specifically to level up heroes, it's going to take around 10 times as long to do it in CBs than in hero XP quests.

If you want mana for things other than hero leveling, CB is definitely better.

If you want mana to level heroes and you can guarantee winning a 5* or higher, CB is definitely better.

If you want mana to level heroes and can't guarantee winning a 5* or higher CB, 30 stamina hero XP quest is better.

If you have a lot of stamina to power through and not a lot of time to do it in, 30 stamina hero XP quest is better.

If you can survive running raids, you probably already know that's better than CBs or hero XP quests.
