Additional Tips
- Busy Power is usually the most powerful mana ability in Danger Zones. Save your mana before entering the Zone and spam it once you get in.
- You can stack your abilities by repeating the gesture, as long as you have enough mana.
- Some abilities combo well together, such as Acceleration is multipied several times if you use Busy Speed.
- Mana abilties can even be activated during game pause, they will wait till you resume to countdown the duration. So take a pause, then power up and continue.
