As a new player to any game you can become overwhelmed by the various options, modes and gameplay basics. This guide aims to walk new masters through the basics of the game, navigating the menus and understanding how bridge control, XP gain and master perks are vital to success.

Join me as we meet all 13 of Masters from Minion Masters. We'll look at what makes a master and what distinguishes them from each other. Covering their auto-attack and all three of their perks we'll learn how best to play and deck build with each master currently available.


The latest Minion Masters update (v1.48) featured a huge rework to the master Milloween so I thought it would be useful to go through the changes, check out a deck made with the rework in mind and then put it into action with a ladder match.

Join me as I go through Deckbuilding in Minion Masters, including choosing a starting point, considerations to be made, threats to be aware of as well as deck types and win-conditions. This video should give you a good starting point in your deck building journey, providing example decks to illustrate deck types and to give you a starting point if you wish to use them. A huge thanks to DeathShoot and Memfisto for helping me put this together.

Ever wondered why you get a low ranked teammate or why you get so many or so few ranking points? Well the answer is Elo. In today's video we'll look at how Elo is implemented in Minions and the effect it has. After a brief look at the formulae involved we'll checkout a tool I made to better explain them.

Please note that Guild Conquest was removed in version 2.0 and we are awaiting something to replace it.
Guild Conquest is completed together by a guild, trying to maximise their combined score to unlock rewards as well as place highly in the guild leaderboard. A guild has its own battlepass like progression system that guild members can contribute to and earn rewards from. Each season has a Guild Conquest and this is broken down into cycles that last for 3 days, and during that cycle guild members can enable Guild Conquest and play regular ladder games until they get 6 wins or 3 losses, whichever comes first, earning points for the guild from their wins. Each cycle takes into account the top 15 scores for the guild and adds this to their total and comes with a set of Conquest Cards which are unique to each guild. Playing a conquest cards gives you additional glory towards your overall score.


Here's a little infographic I made a while ago to explain how your Guild Conquest Score is calculated. As you can see it takes into account the Glory value of your deck, the bonus glory for each conquest card used and then applies a rank bonus. Therefore to maximise your score you want to ideally use a max glory deck (4000) consisting entirely of conquest cards (additional 4000 glory) and then get your wins at the highest rank you can.

Mayhem is a game mode where there is a specific rule set that is different to regular ladder play, for example getting a bonus for running a single faction deck or getting your cheapest 2 cards for free. Once you've build the deck you will play in 2v2 Mayhem matches (either random or premade) and try to get 12 wins without losing 3 times. The more wins you get the better the rewards.

Here are some example Mayhems and some winning strategies:

You gain +20% faster Mana if your entire deck is of the same Faction when starting the match.


Draft an "Adventure" Master at the start of the Mayhem.


Every time a spell is played, spawn a random minion of the same cost.


Every 5 seconds, a random Minion on both teams get a random Jinx: Gor'rakk Sacrifice, Spawn of Fury, Ardent Aegis or Lycanthropy.


Draft 2 "Adventure" Relics at the start of the Mayhem that gives you powerful bonuses.

In this section you'll find videos explaining how various mechanics in the game work and find some decks that utilise that mechanic.

Find out how to earn and how to spend Outlander Tech to empower your Outlander decks!


This Rimargaal Freeze deck allows me to introduce and explain the Frozen, Revelry and Defrost mechanics and share a fun, if not great deck.


This Zen-Chi Ravager deck provides an illustration of how Growthburst Shrooms work and which cards can be empowered by them.


Invoke: "Replace a Voidborne card in your hand with a random Voidborne card that costs 1 more Mana until played (keeps its current cost)."




Please note that the Slitherbind mechanic was called Call Slitherbound at the time this video was made. Whilst the name and some of the cards have changed the explanation of the mechanics is still valid and useful.

Here you will find some serious and some fun decks that you can try out. The decks are also often used as a tool to explain some in-game mechanics.

A global chat discussion got me thinking about a fun deck concept - a Mordar + Doomcleaver deck but with ZERO Doomcleavers in the original deck. How can we achieve this? Well thanks to the power of INVOKE it is possible. Join me as I explain how this deck works and try it out in a 2v2 Randoms ladder match.


I thought it would be fun to put together a Minion Masters deck comprising only common cards. These cards should be easily accessible to even the newest of players since they are super cheap to craft.


Yesterday we looked at a Minion Masters deck consisting of only Common cards, today we are building one with just rare cards. Still pretty easy to obtain and craft so should be a lot of fun.


Continuing on our rarity journey today we are going to look at a deck made only of Supreme cards. I chose to play Diona since she is my favourite master and we get to look at the cool new Slitheress skin that is available in the current Season Pass.


Today we are going to look at a deck built entirely out of Legendary cards! Since we have a few ranged units I thought it would make sense to give Stormbringer a run out, a master that I don't play too often.


Join me as I go through a deck that I have had a lot of success with this season in Minion Masters. It is great at dealing with Mana Chasers and got me to Contender in 2v2 Premades as well as Grand Master in Solos and 2v2 Randoms.


Join me as I introduce one of my favourite Minion Masters deck - Sniper Mordar. We'll check out the deck, look at the key cards and see it in action against a top level player on the solo leaderboard. Can it beat Apep + Avea?


I've been playing a lot of King Puff in recent seasons and having just hit Grand Master and rank #4 in Random Duos I thought I would share the deck and some top level game play. In this match I face off against the current world #1 hngol.

Minion Masters has a community curated Wiki that is a great source of information regarding all aspects of the game. If you wanted to check on some card details outside of the game or check the history of changes that a card has experienced then the wiki is the place for you!
