Supercell’s Clash of Clans used to have only four hero cards for the main village, but the latest Town Hall 17 update introduced a new hero: the Minion Prince. Heroes aren’t your average troops—they’re stronger and more powerful than regular warriors. Now, players have a fifth hero to pick from in the main village and use in battles and Clan Wars.
The Minion Prince is a unique hero with high damage, solid health, and special abilities that make it tough for enemies. Unlike other heroes, it can fly and attack from the air, which makes it perfect for taking on air-focused units. Its durability also keeps it in battles longer. Read on to learn how to unlock the Minion Prince Hero in Clash of Clans.

Clash of Clans players wondering what the best armies and strategies are for Town Hall 11 can find some great options here.
How To Unlock Minion Prince Hero In Clash of Clans
As mentioned above, the Minion Prince is the fifth hero card (excluding Builder Base heroes) that fans can unlock in the game. To get the Minion Prince Hero in Clash of Clans, you need to upgrade your Hero Hall to level three and your Town Hall to level nine. This is much easier compared to unlocking the Grand Warden Hero and Royal Champion Hero, which require higher-level halls.
To begin, you’ll need to make your Town Hall stronger, as the Hero Hall becomes available only once you reach Town Hall level seven. So, focusing on leveling up your Town Hall should be your top priority.
Tips to Reach Town Hall Level 9 Fast
To increase your Town Hall level to nine quickly, you need to upscale the required structures (including Army, Defenses, Resources, and Traps) and train your troops. Here are some tips to help speed up the process:
- Collect Gems: Gems can help you ramp up your structure upgrades and troop training. You can collect Gems by completing Home Village Achievements, opening Gem Boxes, and participating in exclusive events.
- Stock Up on Gold: You’ll need Gold to meet the requirements for Town Hall upgrades and to advance the hall itself. Participate in Clan Wars and improve your Gold Mines to earn more.
- Gather Elixir: You also need Elixir for constructing buildings like the Spell Factory, Dark Barracks, and even the Hero Hall. Make sure to upgrade your Elixir Collectors, or exchange Gems for them in the game shop.
How To Level Up Hero Hall To Level Three
Once you hit Town Hall level seven, you’ll be able to build the Hero Hall from the Army section under the Building & Traps screen. Like all structures in the game, Hero Hall will also cost you in-game currency. After placing it, you can keep upgrading the hall until you get to level three. Here’s the cost breakdown for each Hero Hall upgrade in Clash of Clans:
|
Hero Hall Upgrades |
Cost |
Time Required |
|
Hero Hall (Level 1) |
One Day |
|
|
Hero Hall (Level 2) |
1,600,000 Elixir |
Two Days |
|
Hero Hall (Level 3) |
2,300,000 Elixir |
Four Days |
After fulfilling all the aforementioned requirements, the Minion Prince Hero will be unlocked for you. You can find the Minion Prince Hero by clicking on the Hero Hall in the Clash of Clans. Moreover, if you already have higher Town Hall and Hero Hall levels in the game, the Minion Prince will be automatically unlocked to pick for battles in the Hero Hall.

How To Use The Minion Prince Hero
To use the Minion Prince Hero in Clash of Clans, head to the Hero Hall and click on the ‘Sword’ or ‘Shield’ icon above its banner. Choosing the Sword icon makes him an attacking hero, while the Shield icon turns him into a defending hero for your village. In wars, the Hero slots decide the order in which your attacking heroes join the battle so you can rearrange them as needed.
To change the hero order, go back to the Hero Hall, tap the ‘Double Swords’ icon at the bottom, and place Minion Prince in any slot under the Heroes tab in the Army section. After that, you’re all set to request war and watch him in action. If you’re using Minion Prince for defense, he’ll only protect the area around his flag. To swap his flag, click the second icon on the bottom bar in the Hero Hall, tap ‘View Hero Banners,’ and pick any flag to assign him there. Minion Prince is an air unit, so he’s solid for both attacking and defending roles.
Once in battle, Minion Prince can hit enemies with his Dark Orb ability, where he fires an ice crystal that freezes nearby tiles and deals good damage. He also has the Henchmen Puppet ability, which summons two minions to take down buildings and increase his health. Both abilities are part of his common Hero Equipment that comes unlocked with him. You can check equipment stats by clicking the Blacksmith icon in the Hero Hall.
