Minion strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Its single target damage is efficient against individual high hitpoint targets.

Weaknesses

  • Its modest hitpoints leave it exposed to splash defences such as Wizard Towers, Mortars and Bomb Towers.
  • Because it only hits one target at a time, it can be overwhelmed by large groups of defending troops.
