E Dragons + Minion Prince: Best Army to Triple TH17 Bases!

Hey Chiefs!

E-drags are back again! Pair him with the new hero: Minion Prince—a flying menace with game-changing abilities—is just chef’s kiss. Together, they’re a match made in Clash heaven, and if you’ve ever wanted to dominate Town Hall 17 like a true pro, this is your moment.

Let’s dive into this blog, where we’ll show you everything from how to use this killer combo to simple guides for making the most of the Minion Prince. Before we jump in, you should know a little about the Minion Prince!

Minion Prince: New 5th Hero in Clash of Clans

The Minion Prince is more than just a cool name—he’s a flying menace who unlocks at Town Hall 9 and brings a unique set of skills to your offensive lineup. Here’s everything you need to know about him:

  • Damage Type: Single Target
  • Targets: Ground & Air
  • Favorite Target: Any
  • Movement Speed: 24

What makes the Minion Prince so powerful is his Dark Orb Equipment. This active ability fires a giant orb that travels up to 18 tiles and freezes everything within 5 tiles on either side. It’s basically a giant "nope" button for defenses, letting you control the battlefield like never before.

Pro tip: He’s best used as a support hero for air armies, kind of like an Archer Queen but with wings. More on that later!

Ok now, are you ready to smash bases? Let’s go!

What happens when you pair the devastating power of E-Dragons with the tactical brilliance of the Minion Prince? You get a strategy that’s almost unfair.

This video shows you the power of Minion Prince when used right!

Here’s how to make it work:

Setting Up Your Army

Deploying Like a Pro

  • Funnel with your Queen and a Baby Dragon on opposite sides to clear edges and guide your E-Dragons into the core.
  • Deploy Electro Dragons and Balloons together, followed by the Warden.
  • Use your Stone Slammer or Blimp to break into high-value areas like the Town Hall or core defenses.

Mastering Minion Prince’s Role

  • When to Deploy: Drop him after the Warden’s ability for maximum protection and impact.
  • Using Dark Orb: Activate his ability when he reaches the core to freeze key defenses like Scattershots or Infernos.
  • Positioning: Always keep him near E-Dragons or Balloons for protection—he’s vulnerable alone.

Spell Placement Tips

  • Place Rage spells in the core to boost your troops’ damage output.
  • Save Freeze spells for critical defenses like Monoliths, Single Infernos, or Fire Spitters.
  • Timing is everything—freeze at the right moment to protect your army.

Clean-Up & Finishing Touches

  • Let the Minion Prince handle remaining defenses with his ability.
  • Use leftover spells to keep your Queen or Warden alive for extra clean-up power.

With this strategy, you’ll dominate TH17 like a pro in no time! 

Use Minion Prince Like a Pro! (Even If You’re a Noob)

Let’s be real—figuring out how to use a new hero (or troop, for that matter) can be tricky. The Minion Prince might feel like a mystery now, but the pros know how to crack the code. And guess what? You can too.

Here’s the deal: when new units like the Minion Prince drop, pros run countless test cases to find out what works and what doesn’t. That’s how they discover those jaw-dropping attack strategies that leave the rest of us asking, “How’d they do that?”

Quick Minion Prince Guide (For Ultra Noobs)

Not ready for a deep dive? No worries, we’ve got you covered with this super simple, middle-schooler-approved guide:

  • What to Do:

    • Pair him with air armies like E-Dragons, Hydra (Dragons & Dragon Riders), or Lalo.
    • Use his Dark Orb ability to hit as many defenses as possible to get the highest value.
    • Deploy him behind your main air army to keep him protected while he dishes out the damage.
  • What Not to Do:

    • Don’t send him solo—he’s strong but can’t handle being ganged up on by defenses.
    • Watch out for Seeking Air Mines; they’re his kryptonite if he’s not shielded by your army.

The Minion Prince is all about smart placement and timing. Use him well, and he’ll take your air attacks to the next level!
