General

Minions are AI-controlled units that are aligned with one of the teams. They spawn periodically from their respective bases and attack any enemy including the heroes, units, and turrets that are in their way. The route of minions is on the 3 lanes. On Mid Lane, it takes around 15 seconds to reach, whilst on the Side Lanes, it takes 25 seconds and it's longer compared to the route on the Mid Lane.

Statistics

Lancer minions start with 33 gold, Infantry minions with 65 and cannon with 100 gold. After 30 minutes that will be about 90, 120 and 150 gold spread evenly across time. The gold will be shared to nearby¹ enemy heroes (you only get gold from red minions). However, if the final strike isn't performed by an enemy hero, but by another minion, for example, then only 80% of the gold will be awarded to the nearby enemy heroes.

Gold lane

In the gold lane (non turtle lane) 1 of each minion (Infatry, lancer and canon) spawns. The canon minions will give 45% extra gold for the first 10 waves (5:10). (So starting at 120 Gold).

Middle lane

In the middle usually consists of 3 lancers and 1 infantry during the first 10 waves. After that it will also have 1 of each minions in every wave.

Experience lane

The gold lane (turtle lane) also has one minion of each type in every wave. In this lane, the first 10 waves, all canon minions will award 35% extra EXP to the killer.

1. Specific range not known. Probably 8 units.

Story

The Imperial Sanctuary is the glorious land ruled by the King of Light. The King once endowed the soldiers here with the divine blessing and dividing them into 2 factions: The red symbolizing the sword, the blue representing the shield. These 2 factions would never stop fighting, sparing no expense in battle!

Icons

Minion icons will appear under these circumstances:

• Minions successfully destroyed the defending turrets.
• Players killed or assisted by the Minions, their icon will also be shown by tapping the ‘Death Replay’ once the player has died. This will include the type of Minion that attacked the player as well as the amount of damage dealt.
• Destroying the tertiary turret defending the base. The Minion icon will appear after the next periodic spawn (the Infantry Minion).

Trivia

• The old minion looks were redone in early November 2019 to avoid copyright issues with the League of Legends' minions.
  • Despite this, the old Infantry can be seen in the menu for the VS A.I mode and still can be shown as a preview in multiple Arcade modes. It is still possible to get the old minions from Mobile Legends Adventure.
• Coincidentally, the minions may reference the hero's roles.
  • The Lancer references a Mage while carrying a wand.
  • The Cannon references a Marksman.
  • The Infantry references a Fighter while carrying a shield.
• When marking a turret in Brawl Mode, you’ll sometimes see the Cannon Minion icon instead of a turret. This can be done while a minion wave spawns when the inhibitor turret is only left.
• The minions can be seen at Magic Chess as the first creep you'll see in the Planning round. It only includes 2 Infantries and 1 Cannon (which gives the chest).
