Minions

Minions are a Homestead feature, added to the game with the Primal Warfare content update. Their main purposes are to boost productivity for resources and battle against other player minions in exchange for more minions and other prizes.

Types of Minions
There are a total of 30 minions in the game.

Minion Attributes
There are several attributes which can affect a minion's performance in battle or effectiveness when deployed at a resource building.

Race
Each minion is a part of a race. This attribute cannot be changed. The possible races are as follows:
 * Avian
 * Burrow
 * Demonic
 * Divine
 * Elemental
 * Genie
 * Guardian
 * Hillborn
 * Jungle
 * Magic
 * Skykeen
 * Wild

Level
Minions levels are measured in stars (★); the higher its level, the more stars it has. Every minion begins at ★ (1 star), and can be upgraded all the way to ★★★★★★★★★★ (10 stars). The level of a minion determines two things - its combat power, and the bonus resources it can gather from resource buildings.

Combat Power
This attribute is your minion's attack. Each minion type has a varied amount of combat power, therefore some may be stronger than others. Generally ancient minions have the least amount of combat power, archaic have a moderate amount of combat power, and primal minions have the highest amount of combat power. This attribute can be improved by leveling the minion.

Stamina
The stamina of a minion determines how long it can gather bonus resources if assigned to a resource building. When a minion is first hatched, it will have 50% of its maximum stamina. If stamina reaches 0, then no bonus resources will be gathered, but the minion will still be able to battle. Stamina can be replenished by consuming minion eggs. This can be done in the Elysian Arena interface by clicking on the minion of your choice and then clicking the Energy Button to the right of the window. Another window will pop up where you can insert your minion eggs. The amount of stamina a minion can replenish is as follows: The maximum amount of stamina a minion can have depends on its rarity:
 * Ancient Minion: 33 stamina
 * Archaic Minion: 560 stamina
 * Primal Minion: 4320 stamina
 * Ancient Minions: 1440 maximum stamina
 * Archaic Minions: 2800 maximum stamina
 * Primal Minions: 4320 maximum stamina

Prey
This attribute determines which races your minion is strong against. This attribute can be changed with the use of a Spirit Sedative. The amount of prey that a minion has depends on its rarity:
 * Ancient: 1 prey
 * Archaic: 2 prey
 * Primal: 3 prey

Five Elements
This attribute determines the element of your minion. As the name suggests, there are five different elements: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, and Wood. Like normal elements, they have strengths and weaknesses: Elements can be changed with the use of a Spirit Sedative.
 * Earth: Strong against water and fire
 * Fire: Strong against metal and wood
 * Metal: Strong against wood and earth
 * Water: Strong against fire and metal
 * Wood: Strong against earth and water

Bonus
This attribute determines the percentage of bonus resources it can gather if assigned to a resource building. It cannot be changed, but is instead upgraded when a minion is leveled. Each minion has a different bonus percentage:
