Knowledge or strength? (%)

KNOWLEDGE is POWER

It is advisable to level up the Knowledge skill to a certain point (around 30), and it is preferable to have a high Intelligence stat. The higher the Strength stat, the better.

It's beneficial to level up Knowledge to a certain point (around 30), preferably with Intelligence. The more Strength, the better.

How long does it take to level up Knowledge to 30?

1. Usually, 15 Knowledge is enough (you can jump around the map and cast spells in battle).
2. And even for the final battle, 10 Knowledge is sufficient.

I usually level up stats in this order:
1. Attack
2. Magic Power
3. Defense
4. Knowledge

Actually, I wrote about the LIMIT of reasonable character development! And 15 will definitely be too little!

it's a bit lacking when there are fewer than 40
or just one right in front of you (99)

At the beginning, I usually level up my knowledge to around 10, and then spell power. Sometimes it's the other way around, but not often.

I choose based on which Castle I'm playing as... unfortunately, it's not always possible to choose. If I'm playing as Dungeon, I need less Knowledge – Mana Vortex gives a certain advantage...
If the hero is a fighter, mana is important – strong combat spells aren't really necessary, but frequent use of weak but massive and important spells for the fighter (slow, bless, etc.) is a good help in battle....
On average, I prefer Knowledge!

If I have to play as Solmyr, I definitely choose spell power!

It's not interesting to play as a brute force character; you go into battle, and that's it. It's more interesting to play as a mage; some mages, under certain conditions, can even outperform brute force characters with the same stat allocation.

The main thing is to know how to use power.

No, strength is more important than knowledge!!!!! Although you shouldn't forget about knowledge.... ;)

Strength!!!...
Well, maybe gain a little knowledge, but just a little, and study the spells of the first tier...

It's always better to increase strength; knowledge will come naturally as you gain levels and explore various towers.
With immense strength, you can defeat anyone.
But with immense knowledge, you'll only be able to cast a weak lightning spell multiple times.

the power of spells is a somewhat ambiguous thing – the difference in damage dealt by the same Meteor Shower spell with a magic skill of 3 or 5 isn't that significant...
but if the knowledge skill is 5 instead of 3, it means that the same Meteor Shower spell can be used more times in battle, which also increases the damage...
I think that if you're going to increase the power of spells, you should do it specifically, using all available methods and artifacts... otherwise, there won't be much point.

If the hero is a Warrior, focus on gaining more knowledge (for spells like Dimension Door, Fly, and City Portal). If the hero is a Mage, focus on increasing their power, but it's necessary to learn the "Intelligence" skill.
