Chain AI

[[JD]]

"If a special move is attempted performed within 3 seconds after another special move, the mana cost of that move will be doubled."

How much mana and/or LMC is needed for chain AI on a Sampire? Assuming you qualify for the first mana discount only. Is this correct:

No LMC: AI (25) + AI (50), so 75 mana for chain AI and no LMC
20 LMC: AI (20) + AI (40), so 60 mana for chain AI with 20 LMC
40 LMC: AI (15) + AI (30), so 45 mana for chain AI with 40 LMC

Thanks

Numbers look right to me. For your third example you would need to leech 30 mana per swing to keep ai going. Possible in wraith form.

Oh hm so it would be more like:

AI (15) + AI (30) + AI (30) + AI (30)

.. every AI would be double mana cost after the first, since its swinging at cap (under 3s)?

So then for 40 LMC you still need 60 mana?

I do not really understand you here. Lets say the first ai is 15, then every other costs 30 until you stop it for 3 seconds. You dont need 60 mana for that. More mana helps with that on a sampire, but if you use wraith form you get away with 40 mana and 40 lmc. You just need to leech enough.
