Badge of Anu is not giving mana to the hero, and is only providing a +5% mana increase to the other troops with 2 badges equipped. Despite the medal trait screen confirming 2 individual +5% bonuses.

Bugged or intended?

Is your get hero starting with a Mana boost outside of the badge?  
Mana boosts don’t stack so it’s pointless to equip 2. You only get credit for one.

Are you sure the hero class you used in the test didn’t have a trait or perk that gives starting mana? Because I heard that you don’t get the mana badge bonus if the troop or hero already has some other source of starting mana.

What weapon are you using and is 5% of the cost even more than 1?

Starting mana is truncated. To have starting mana at 1, you need a weapon/troop with at least 1/0.05= 20 mana.

And 2 badges dont stack, they only give 5%. In other words, badge of anu is worthless.

Ah, Anu. Putting the “arse” in players’ arsenals since the staff came out in 2015.
