A few points about minions:. The useless minion in healing & shielding is 'Summon Plague Witch Doctor' because he hearts himself when shielding/healing. The useful minion against other classes is 'Summon Star Wayfarer' because of his 10 seconds of sap. The best tank minion is 'Summon Depth Horror' because of his fetters of justice. The best minion as a controller is 'Summon Grinch'. 'Summon Pumpkin Guard' isn't far of him.
The best minion in healing is 'Summon Swamp Hermit' because of his high & permanent heal. The best attacking minion is 'Summon Lycanthrope's Ghost' because his chop won't fade from enemy at all, he does a new skill on every 4th tick, so perfect slow. The useless minion is 'Summon Snowman' because of his '86' damage.
The most strange minion is 'Summon Wild Wyvern' because he can change his type from melee to a close range. Not with a calculating system at all.
Very big thank to who gave me the idea of organizing the guide & which did some very hard work in the guide by giving me all the pictures after summoning the minion. Thanks for reading! Edited December 24, 2014 by Zombatar.

Minion Attributes There are several attributes which can affect a minion's performance in battle or effectiveness when deployed at a resource building. Race Each minion is a part of a race.
This attribute cannot be changed. The possible races are as follows:. Avian. Burrow.
Demonic. Divine. Elemental. Genie.
Guardian. Hillborn.
Jungle. Magic. Skykeen. Wild Level Minions levels are measured in stars (★); the higher its level, the more stars it has.
Every minion begins at ★ (1 star), and can be upgraded all the way to ★★★★★★★★★★ (10 stars). The level of a minion determines two things - its combat power, and the bonus resources it can gather from resource buildings. Combat Power This attribute is your minion's attack. Each minion type has a varied amount of combat power, therefore some may be stronger than others. Generally ancient minions have the least amount of combat power, archaic have a moderate amount of combat power, and primal minions have the highest amount of combat power. This attribute can be improved by leveling the minion. Stamina The stamina of a minion determines how long it can gather bonus resources if assigned to a resource building.
When a minion is first hatched, it will have 50% of its maximum stamina. If stamina reaches 0, then no bonus resources will be gathered, but the minion will still be able to battle. Stamina can be replenished by consuming minion eggs. This can be done in the Elysian Arena interface by clicking on the minion of your choice and then clicking the Energy Button to the right of the window.
Another window will pop up where you can insert your minion eggs. The amount of stamina a minion can replenish is as follows:.
Ancient Minion: 33 stamina. Archaic Minion: 560 stamina. Primal Minion: 4320 stamina The maximum amount of stamina a minion can have depends on its rarity:. Ancient Minions: 1440 maximum stamina.
Archaic Minions: 2800 maximum stamina. Primal Minions: 4320 maximum stamina Prey This attribute determines which races your minion is strong against. This attribute can be changed with the use of a Spirit Sedative. The amount of prey that a minion has depends on its rarity:.
Ancient: 1 prey. Archaic: 2 prey. Primal: 3 prey Five Elements This attribute determines the element of your minion. As the name suggests, there are five different elements: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, and Wood. Like normal elements, they have strengths and weaknesses:.
Earth: Strong against water and fire. Fire: Strong against metal and wood. Metal: Strong against wood and earth. Water: Strong against fire and metal. Wood: Strong against earth and water Elements can be changed with the use of a Spirit Sedative.
Bonus This attribute determines the percentage of bonus resources it can gather if assigned to a resource building. It cannot be changed, but is instead upgraded when a minion is leveled.
