How to Play
The goal of Mana Battle is to destroy the enemy team’s crystal while protecting your own.
Reading Unit Descriptions
Cooldown: How long it takes for this unit to perform its action(s). In this example, it shields the crystal by 21 points.
Critical: The chance of causing double damage/heal/shield/poison/regen. If your critical chance is above 100%, the extra amount is converted into extra power. For example, 140% critical damage means double damage + 40% of the normal amount.
Basic Actions
These actions use the unit’s power as a reference. Increasing power strengthens a unit’s damage, heal, shield, poison, or regen amounts.
Damage
Directly harms the enemy crystal. Example: Damage 30 — this unit deals 30 damage to the enemy crystal.
Shield
Creates a protective barrier on your crystal. It absorbs damage until the shield is depleted. Example: Shield 40 — this unit adds 40 shield to the allied crystal.
Poison
Deals damage over time and ignores shield. Example: Poison 20 — the enemy crystal takes 2 damage per second (20 over 10s).
Regen
Restores life every second. Example: Regen 30 — the allied crystal restores 3 life per second (30 over 10s).
Heal
Restores your crystal’s life, and removes 10% of the amount healed from your current poison. Example: Heal 20 — the allied crystal restores 20 life and removes 2 poison.
Advanced Effects
Action descriptions follow the format: [effect] → [target]
Haste
Doubles the unit’s cooldown recovery speed while active. “Haste for 2 seconds” means the unit completes 4 seconds of cooldown during that time. Example: Haste 1.0s → Row — this unit applies haste to allies in the same row.
Slow
The opposite of haste. Haste and slow cancel each other out. Example: Slow 2.0s → Random enemy — this unit applies slow to a random enemy.
Charge
Instantly reduces the unit’s current cooldown by a set amount. If a unit needs 3s to activate and receives Charge 1s, it now activates in 2s. Example: Charge 2.0s → Column — this unit charges all allies in the same column by 2 seconds.
+x / +x*
Increases a unit’s power.
+x = temporary (lasts only during the match)
+x* = permanent (persists between matches) Example: +5 → Row — allies in the same row gain 5 power.
Reactions
The ⚡ icon represents a reaction, meaning this unit acts when another unit performs a specific action.
Reactions follow the format: ⚡[source] → [effect] → [target]
Example: ⚡Damage (row) → +5 → Column
Source: Any unit in the same row deals damage
Effect: +5 power
Target: This unit’s column
Note that a unit can't react to a reaction. If a unit reacts and applies slow, some other unit that reacts to slow will not react to that.
Other Possible Reaction Sources
Any: Any ally, regardless of action or position
Damage: Any ally that deals damage (heal, shield, etc. behave similarly when listed alone)
Left / Right / Top / Down: Adjacent units in that direction
Some units can react to Damage (enemy), Shield (enemy), etc., meaning they react to enemy actions as well,
