Some Heroes have the Special Skill or Talent to summon Minions or Fiends. These serve the benefits of the player's team or hinder enemy progress.
Minions are small friendly companions or familiars that support their "owner" in both defense and attack:
- Firstly, they act as a "meat shield", absorbing any damage the owner receives, until they are destroyed (Minions can't be healed, only re-summoned) either through attack damage or anti-minion Special Skills (see Category:Minion Destroyers).
- Secondly, they attack a random enemy at the end of their side's turn; while their attack is rather weaker than the Heroes', especially in larger numbers such "supporting barrage" is useful to mop up the last enemies at the edges of the field when tiles are going badly and special skills aren't available or advisable to use. (Of course, the Minions' uncontrollable nature can also make this inconvenient when the player doesn't want to kill the last enemy yet, collecting mana for the next wave.)
- Many minions have extra abilities, against the target they attack (such as removing mana or debuffing) or for their owner (healing slightly, buffing…); see the listing below.
Mega Minions
- A Hero can only have one Mega Minion at a time.
- All existing Minions and Fiends are replaced when a Mega Minion is summoned.
- Mega Minions cannot be replaced by Minion or Fiend summons, but will be replaced by a Mega Fiend.
- Effects that destroy minions instead deal damage equal to 50% of the Mega Minion's max health.
- Any other effects affecting minions won't affect Mega Minions.
Fiends function similarly to minions but are thrown onto the enemy, dealing damage to their "target" each turn. As there is no way targeting them from their own side, Fiends are weakened and destroyed by healing: they block and absorb healing aimed at their targets. Some Fiends also bestow further debuffs, like slowing mana generation down or the Golden Idol Fiends of Hannah with a stun (attack down).
Mega Fiends
- A Hero can only have one Mega Fiend at a time.
- All existing Minions and Fiends are replaced when a Mega Fiend is summoned.
- Mega Fiends cannot be replaced by Minion or Fiend summons, but will be replaced by a Mega Minion.
- Effects that destroy fiends instead deal damage equal to 50% of the Mega Fiend's max health.
- Any other effects affecting fiends won't affect Mega Fiends.
Both Minions and Fiends share the space above the Hero portraits or beneath enemy figures: the oldest or "outer", which receive damage first, are on the right, new ones are added from the left. The Fiends are marked by a magenta border and health bar; Minions' bar is green (no matter how low). Each character can have at most 3 Minions and/or Fiends; any summoned further "push out" and remove the oldest of the three. This can be used tactically both for good or bad.
