Minion rebalance.

I feel with the recent added anti air the minion has become even more useless when it comes to attacking, how many battles can you actually use this unit compare to archers, and archers don't get 1 shot by cheap mines while these minions gets 1 shot by air bomb while using 2 troop spaces and cost de? I don't think that's fair.

My suggestion is to increase the hp of minions, they need to be able to tank 2-3 hits from archers and does not get 1 shotted by air mines, that's the biggest joke in this game, I kept trying to use this unit strategically but how the hell am I gonna use them if they die so fast? I always deploy them at the end because fearing of anti air, archer tower, and air mines. That means the only time they can be used is when most of these structures are down and what's the point of using these when I already owned 70% of the base?

Suggestion - add ability, last chance. Survive with 1 hp from a hit that's suppose to kill them. Or falls down to ground turn into stone after killed and return to battle 1 more time after 5 seconds has passed.

I just think this is an awesome unit but the way air mine and air defense work in this game kind of ruins the fun.

They had their hps lowered at level 5 with the recent update. Despite the added air defense, I find that I've been using minions more after the update. This is due to the decreased air bomb blast radius so even if there's an air bmb deep in the base I could't trigger with a scout, my minions don't just die altogether when they encounter one.

Minions are sooooo helpful.

CC full of giants or barbarians? 1 minion will kill em all.

Gold storage only protected by ground defense? 1 minion will rob it all.

I use 5 in my army.

It may take 1 minion to kill all the barb/ giants but it takes too long and not to mention you have to lure cc out with troops, and archers being in there is more often than not. These situations do come up but minions seriously need a buff because they are a good unit and I want to see people use them more, way more.

Well put down 2 or 3 then.:rolleyes:

I don't think minions need a buff, they are extremely helpful. Oh yeah and usually people with giants in their CC don't have it centralized. :rolleyes:

Minions are a bit situational, but are probably the best "utility" troop in the game IMO.

Cant say i agree actually. Sen one minion in to trick airmines and deploy the rest.

I use 10 minions and sure, they dont usually survive to the end but they make alot of difference.
They are also great for distracting ad in the giant healercombo so you can deploy healer faster.

It would be nice to have them a little thougher but I think they are pretty allright as they are.

minions are great at level 1. mine are level 1 and ive only used them about 5 times. they are sneaky little troops who can steal all the loot when there is no anti-air defense protecting a storage.

also u complain about them being weak etc, but keep in mind yours are probally level1. of course level 1 anything wont be the best :cool: upgrade them to level 3 or 4 and i garrantee they will be even more amazing. im not so sure though mines are still level 1 but i have heaps of fun using them. i bring about 10 minions when i geta little bored of my army compisition :)
