Small air cleanup
Minion
Minions fly and attack ground and air targets. Their small housing size makes them useful for spreading cleanup, but surviving air defenses can remove them quickly.
Plan the attack
- Keep some Minions for buildings that the main air army has left behind.
- Choose cleanup spots outside the remaining defenses’ coverage and deploy enough to finish each target before time runs out.
Common mistake
Using the whole cleanup group early into anti-air fire, leaving no units for the far side of the village.
Works alongside
Balloons remove defenses while Minions can clear buildings Balloons skip. Check that the remaining air defenses are actually down.
Before prioritising an upgrade
Prioritise Minion research when they are a regular part of the air army. Also check whether time fails come from late deployment rather than low damage.
