"Damages and slows down everything it touches"

Summary

• The Dark Orb is a piece of Common Hero Equipment for the Minion Prince. It is one of two pieces of Hero Equipment that the Minion Prince starts with, the other being the Henchmen Puppet.
• The Dark Orb summons a crystal from a portal behind the Minion Prince which then travels forward for a short while at where he is facing, dealing small amount of damage and slowing defenses and defending troops in a radius around it.
• In addition to the ability, the Dark Orb grants additional damage per second and maximum hitpoints to the Minion Prince.

Strategies

Offensive Strategies

• The Dark Orb can slow down a full compartment of defenses, which can be extra effective at the core of the base where most high value defenses reside.
• There are different interactions when the Dark Orb is paired with other Hero Equipment for the Minion Prince:
  • It can be paired with Henchmen Puppet, slowing down defenses in a large area increases the effectiveness of the tanking by the Henchmen.
  • When paired with the Metal Pants, it also allows him to take reduced damage after he fires the Dark Orb.
  • When paired with the Noble Iron, this combo may not be as effective due to its long range when he initially attacks from a long range, wasting most of the Dark Orb's range, even if paired with the Angry Jelly, unless if he has used all of his long-range shots.
• Because the Dark Orb deals damage while traveling a significant distance, its use can activate Invisibility Spell Towers, Giga Teslas and Giga Infernos from afar. Activating a Town Hall weapon early can prove to be a liability, so care must be taken when doing this.
• Be aware of where the Minion Prince is facing before using the Dark Orb, as he may end up wasting it by shooting it to the side or even outwards.

Defensive Strategies

• Avoid placing your major defenses too close to each other, as this can give a lot of value to the attacker, and the attacking army can seize the opportunity to destroy them.
