I know the tier 6 minions are extremely limited but I’m wondering if all minions share the same pool as well? There’s been several games now where 3 or 4 people in the game were all going for Demon or Mech builds and it felt like a lot of minions stopped showing up.
I didn’t think they were shared at first but then I saw the tip that says if you sell a minion it goes back into the “pool” so you wi ll see it again more often.
All minions from Tier 1 to Tier 6 are all shared pool.
Tier 1 minions have 18 copies total
Tier 2 minions have 15 copies total
Tier 3 minions have 13 copies total
Tier 4 minions have 11 copies total
Tier 5 minions have 9 copies total
Tier 6 minions have 6 copies total
Triple upgrades also share the same pool BUT Shifter Zerus ignores all of the pools meaning you can in theory get infinite of X minion from Shifter Zerus.
This is wrong. I had 8 copies of a Tier 6. (2 Gold, 2 normal)
No idea then, that’s just the conclusion Kripp came to after hours of testing it.
Me and my friend was the last 2 and we sold all minions.^^
We tried to get 3 same golden minions.
Nothing will happen with triple golden minion.
But in this way we had 8 Tier 6 units on hand.
Thank you. I suspected something like that was happening. 18 copies though… that makes it all the more mysterious how I can never find the one minion I need to complete a triple!
There are 10 different Tier 1 minions, if you stay at Tier 1 you’ll only see 3 minions every reroll. While initially each minion has an equal chance of appearing, every time you pick a minion that pick gets less likely compared to the rest.
Let’s imagine you were the only player to pick anything, that means for the second go there would be 17 left of that minion while the rest still had 18 left. It’s not a big difference, but it’s there, and the difference only grows every time you pick that minion. With multiple players all picking the “best” minions available, the chance of getting one of those “best” minions is reduced the next turn compared to the “not best” minions.
If you rank up the Tavern you’ll dillute the pool of minions with Tier 2 (and beyond) of which there are 16 different. So even if you see 4 minions with Tier 2 Tavern, you’ll have 26 different minions possible for each of those slots. Add that on top of the “fewer best minions left” mentioned above, and you should start getting an idea of why you have a lower chance of getting tripples of popular minions.
Tier 3 has 17 minions, so for a Tier 3 Tavern you’ll have 43 possible minions for each slot. Tier 4 “only” adds 14 new minions, for 57 possible minions per slot.
And remember you’re not guaranteed to get a minion for your current Tavern Tier.
What’s most likely happening is some of those extras are comming from the tripple “Discover a Tier X minion”-bonus.
Like i said:
Me and one friend were the last 2 player and sold all minions.
We bought only the same Tier 6 over several rounds and i got 8 of one copy without discovering.
It’s possible someone that lost owned a couple from Shifter and they went back to the pool too. Equally possible there’s a bug.
Yes, because when you combined them, they went back in the pool.
it is now 7 copies of tier 6 minions
