Minion Horde

"Six fast, unarmored flying attackers. Three's a crowd, six is a horde!"

Summary

 * The Minion Horde is unlockable from the P.E.K.K.A Playhouse (Arena 4).
 * It summons 6 single target, short range Minions with low hitpoints.

Strategy

 * The Minion Horde can be used effectively to support higher hitpoint troops, such as Giants, eliminating any opposing ground troops and distractions for the high hitpoint troops.
 * If the Minion Horde is ignored by the opposing player, it is able to devastate or destroy the enemy's Crown Tower.
 * The Horde can be directly countered by Arrows, eliminating the entire horde of Minions.
 * In any case where Arrows are not in your deck, other area damage spells like the Fireball can be used to effectively take out the Minions instead.
 * The Wizard is useful as a counter to the horde.
 * An effective strategy to use is the Hog Rider and Minion Horde, followed by a Rage spell once they reach the opposing Crown Tower. If left undefended, the Hog Rider and Minion Horde can destroy a Crown Tower with ease.
 * Using the Minion Horde instead of two batches of Minions saves you 1 Elixir, as the normal Minions cost 3 Elixir and spawns 3 while Minion Horde costs 5 Elixir and spawns 6.
 * The main disadvantage with the Minion Horde is that it can not be played easily in urgent situations, while the 3 Elixir Minions can quickly be drawn. This information could be used when planning a deck.
 * Another disadvantage is that both can be killed by Arrows or spells, but the Minion Horde will cause you to lose more Elixir.
 * The Minion Horde can be used to defend against troops that target buildings, especially Balloons as it deals more damage than Minions and takes them down quickly. However, beware of enemy Arrows!
 * One useful strategy is the use both Minion Horde and Goblin Barrel . Both of them are weak to arrows, so use either one to bait out the Arrows, and deploy the other!

Trivia

 * The Minions in the card picture of the Minion Horde are more pale in skin colour compared to the regular Minions, most likely due to the lighting of the area they are in. They also appear to be wearing pale reddish-purple fingerless gloves, as opposed to the indigo gloves worn by the regular Minions.
 * However, the Minions of the Minion Horde are visually identical to the regular Minions in battle.
 * The Minions on the card appear to have purple eyes despite the fact that their eyes are red in battle.
