NEW EVOLUTION & HERO

Instead of relying on sheer numbers, Minion Horde has evolved! Now, each Minion becomes invisible and invincible for a few seconds after taking damage. But power always comes at a cost. Once they go incognito, their attack and movement speed are reduced.

Minion Horde Evolution will be available from season start as a choice in Pass Royale, or you can unlock it with 6 Wild Shards.

Thought you’d seen it all? Think again. Skeletons now launch off their Balloon, crashing onto the nearest target and dealing damage on landing, then continuing the fight on foot.

Not airbending. Just aerodynamics.

Along with Minion Horde Evolution, you can unlock Hero Balloon instantly by choosing it as a reward in Pass Royale, or grab it from the Hero Shop for 200 Hero Coins from day one!

COMMUNITY EVENT

Balloon Race: April 20th – 27th

Up, up, and away we go! Come together with the community to get the Blue Balloon across the finish line before the Red Balloons. 

The more battles you win, the further your balloon will progress! You can also earn bonus points by cheering for your team.

Stay tuned for more details on the event and its rewards!
