Tips & Tricks

The strength of this hero augment completely depends on how early you can get Goldmancer Staff. If you get it on 3, the comp is very strong because you can play the Dragon board on 9.
If you get the staff on 5 Shimmerscale, you can still play Goldmancer Idas in the midgame and then eventually transition to the Dragon board late game. If you get it on 7 or not at all, you won’t be able to play it in the midgame and going fast 9 might become difficult.

Economy Strategy

Without econ augment, fast 9 is almost impossible without win-streak.
Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
Level to 5, unless on 3-loss streak.
Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
Level to 7, or 8 if you can stay above 30g.
Level to 8. Main difference from Fast 8 is how much you roll on 8. Ideally you are high HP and don’t need to roll at all. Otherwise, roll for acceptable board and accumulate gold afterward.
Level to 9 if you are rich enough to roll 20g+. Generally only possible with economy augment or encounter.
Level to 9 if you can roll 20g+ or if low HP.
Level to 9 and roll for important 5-costs. For the remainder of game, roll until you hit your 2 star itemized units. Can consider level 10 after hitting.
