"The self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness means business! The Minion Prince takes to the skies and damages targets with dark magic! When defending, he can only be attacked by ranged and air units."

Summary

• The Minion Prince is an aerial Hero who attacks all targets from long range that was introduced on November 25, 2024, with the Town Hall 17 update. He is unlocked by upgrading the Hero Hall to level 3, which requires Town Hall 9.
• As a Hero, the Minion Prince can participate in both attack and defense, but will not be available to use if he is being upgraded.
  • Like other Heroes, he is not upgraded in the Laboratory but rather upgraded with a Builder.
• The Minion Prince will defend the village when assigned to a Hero Banner. The Minion Prince only defends his territory around his banner and will retreat if lured too far out. He does not need to be defeated for an attack to end in a 3-star.
  • When defending, the Minion Prince will fly, making him unreachable by units that only target ground such as the Barbarian King.
• As a Hero, the Minion Prince has an ability that can be used once per battle which allows him to recover some of his health, and the amount increases at every fifth level. The Hero Equipment that he wields may add additional effects to the ability or a unique passive effect, on top of various passive stats increase.
  • When unlocked, he starts with the Henchmen Puppet and the Dark Orb.
    • Henchmen Puppet summons a pair of Henchmen, provides a brief invisibility, and grants an increased health recovery. It gives a passive increase to damage.
    • Dark Orb launches an ice crystal that travels forward from the Minion Prince and affects all enemy targets in its vicinity as it travels. Affected targets take some damage and are slowed down temporarily. It gives a passive increase to damage and max health.
  • Upgrading the Blacksmith to level 3 and 5 unlocks the Metal Pants and Noble Iron respectvely.
    • The Metal Pants reduces damage taken for a period of time and grants a vastly increased health recovery. It gives a passive increase to his maximum health.
    • The Noble Iron allows him to start the battle with several long-ranged attacks that deal extra damage. It also passively increases his attack speed.
• If the ability has not been used before the Minion Prince is about to be defeated, it will by default automatically activate. However, this feature can be toggled off in the settings (by turning off "Automatically use Hero Abilities on KO").
  • This ability can still activate even if the Minion Prince would be one-shot by an attack (such as by a Seeking Air Mine); he will activate his ability and survive with 1 hitpoint.

Strategies

Offensive Strategies

• The five Home Village Heroes serve different roles in raids. The Barbarian King is the strength specialist, the Minion Prince is the air specialist, the Archer Queen is the speed specialist, the Grand Warden is the support specialist and the Royal Champion is the offense specialist.
• He should be deployed behind the main army of higher health aerial units like Dragons, Dragon Riders, Electro Dragons, Lava Hounds, and Baby Dragons. They have a shorter range than Minion Prince and can tank for him as he deals massive amount of damage.
  • Placing him together with Electro Dragons is not ideal, as he may take down buildings that allows the chain lightning to keep going. He should be placed to the the side of the main attack to funnel for the Electro Dragons.
• Be mindful of the defending Minion Prince, as he is untargetable by units which target ground. Use Wizards or the Archer Queen to knock him out of battle.

Defensive Strategies

• As a defending Hero, make sure to place him near the center of the base, as he will distract aerial units due to his high hitpoints.
• To counter the attacking force, one should place their Air Defenses and Sweepers in a way that they can counter Hero Equipment such as the Giant Arrow. You should also spread aerial traps to prevent them from being wasted by a single Balloon, so that the Seeking Air Mines will maximize its potential by dealing damage to Dragons, or the Minion Prince.

Starting Level

Main article: Hero Hall#Hero Hall Migration

• When the Town Hall 17 update launched, players above Town Hall 9 may not need to upgrade their Minion Prince from scratch. Instead, the Minion Prince starts at a certain level, depending on the level of the Hero Hall the player was given.
• The starting level of the Minion Prince is equal to the level cap of the Hero Hall level one lower than the level of Hero Hall given to the player. For example, if players were given a level 5 Hero Hall, the Minion Prince will start at the level cap of the level 4 Hero Hall, that being level 20.
• If the player was given a level 3 Hero Hall, the Minion Prince will start at level 1, matching the standard progression of a Town Hall 9 player.

Trivia

General

• The Minion Prince was teased by Supercell two weeks before the release of the Sneak Peeks and right before the start of the Hammer Jam. He appeared as an "Undisclosed Character" and "Private Investigator", which was theorized by everyone to be a new Hero.
• The Minion Prince can be seen in bushes of the Classic Scenery before he is officially added to the game, similar to the Spirit Fox.
• Despite the March 27, 2025 maintenance break that removed training times in the Home Village, the "regeneration time" statistic is still visible in Hero info screens, although it does not have an effect on gameplay.
  • The regeneration time used to start at 18 minutes and increases by 2 minutes at every fifth level to a maximum of 48 minutes at level 80 onwards.

Comparisons

• The Minion Prince is the third Home Village Hero to be added to a previous Town Hall rather than the newest. The first being the Barbarian King and second will be the Archer Queen.
• The Minion Prince is the third aerial Hero in the game overall, the first being the Grand Warden (if on Air Mode) and the second being the Battle Copter.
  • However, if we are counting only the Home Village Heroes, then the Minion Prince is the second aerial Hero in the game, the first being the Air Mode Grand Warden.
  • The Minion Prince is also the only Hero who defends as an aerial unit, as the Battle Copter does not participate in defense, and the Grand Warden always defends in ground mode.
• The Minion Prince is the only Hero that is based off of a Dark Elixir unit.
  • While the Apprentice Warden is also a Dark Elixir unit, he was added after the Grand Warden, who is an Elixir Hero.
• The Minion Prince is the only Hero that can be leveled up automatically depending on the player's highest Hero level once the Hero Hall is placed.
  • However, in order for him to be unlocked, the Hero Hall must be at least level 3.
• The Minion Prince is the only Hero not to have a signature ability like the Iron Fist and the Royal Cloak upon release as he is released after Hero Equipment reworked the ability system and splitting them up.
• The Minion Prince is the first and currently the only non-human Hero in the game.
