Clash Royale card guide
5 elixirCommonTroopHits airFlyingSwarm / distractionTank killerEvolution
Minion Horde is a powerful flying swarm of six Minions. It melts big single-target tanks from the air.
How to play
Use it on defense against cards that can't hit air, like Giant, Golem or Hog Rider. On offense, a Minion Horde sent at the tower while your opponent's air defense or spell is out of cycle deals massive damage. Lava Hound decks use it often.
Tips
- Track your opponent's Arrows and Fireball; don't risk Minion Horde while they're in hand.
- Drop it directly on top of the tank; a tank that can't hit air can't touch it.
- Don't fly the group into the range of splash troops like Wizard and Executioner.
Strengths
- Huge damage against tanks that can't hit air.
- A major tower threat when the spell is out of cycle.
Weaknesses
- Arrows, Fireball and splash troops clear it easily.
- Expensive, with low hitpoints per Minion.
