Hi guys, I’ve got a quick question - what determines the bonus mana you gain in the arena?  
Right now whenever I play an arena I as well as my opponent get 1 bonus blue and brown mana (e.g. I match 3 blue gems and get 4 mana). This doesn’t seem to be affected by the weapon my hero is wielding - it’s always those two colors.

For reference - I’m playing on the PS4.

You Banner determines Mana bonus when matching gems.

The Arena banner has been locked to ‘The Broken Banner’ for over 2 years now. +1 Blue, +1 Brown. You can not change it in Arena (yet?) or (ever?)
