Summary
- TheMetal Pants is a piece of Common Hero Equipment for the Minion Prince. It is unlocked when the Blacksmith is upgraded to level 3, which requires Town Hall level 10 to do so.
- The Metal Pants appear as a piece of chain mail pants with the inner side and groin cover made with leather, with a tied cincture acting as a belt.
- When equipped, it enables the Minion Prince to create an orange shield around him which temporarily reduces the damage from any type.
- In addition to the ability, the Metal Pants grants additional hitpoints to the Minion Prince, and also increases the amount of health he recovers when using the ability.
Strategies
Offensive Strategies
- The Metal Pants can be used to let the Minion Prince tank Seeking Air Mines better when he is by himself, and can also reduce damage taken from defenses.
- However, its weakness is that single-target Inferno Towers at maximum stage and Monolith can take lots of damage if they had locked on to him, eventually getting him knocked out.
Defensive Strategies
- To prevent the opponent from getting value of the Metal Pants, separate the Seeking Air Mines away from each other, so that they will maximize the damage when the effect expires.
- Protect your single-target Inferno Towers and the Monolith in a way so that the army will be separated from the Minion Prince, allowing the Inferno Tower and Monolith to lock onto him and possibly defeat him, even with his barrier.

Trivia
- The Metal Pants is likely made in response to the sentiment of fans being appalled by Minion Prince not wearing any pants. Before the February 2025 sneak peek starts, Supercell made a tweet with different real life pants being photoshopped on Minion Prince and announce it as a fashion show, with one of them being poorly censored with question marks all over it, hinting at the existence of a pants equipment.
Comparisons
- The Metal Pants and Vampstache, and Healer Puppet and Noble Iron are the only Common Equipment to be unlocked at the same Blacksmith level, at levels 3 and 5 respectively.
