AutoArena minis

Every mini in AutoArena, with its cost, stats, ability and star prices — read straight from the game's own definitions.

A deck is one hero plus 5 of these 14 minis. Each costs elixir to deploy, charges mana by attacking and being hit, and casts its ability at full mana (or as a dying breath). Merging a duplicate onto a mini stars it up, to 4× its base stats at three stars — where its ability also becomes a stronger form of its own. Rules in full: how to play. Heroes are on their own page.

Pitfighter Melee

Fast melee bruiser.

Cost: 2 elixir
Health: 685
Damage: 65
Range: Melee
Speed: 1.4 tiles/s
Attacks every: 1.05s
Mana per hit: 15 of 100
Unlock: Owned from the start

Frenzy — +80% attack speed, +30% damage and +35% move speed for 4s (+1s per star).

lasts 4–7s (longer per star) · attack cooldown ×0.55, damage ×1.3, move speed ×1.35.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Bloodrage — Frenzy also heals 3% of max HP, and hits during it heal 8% of the damage dealt.

How to play it

Cheap, fast melee that reaches the fight first. Frenzy makes it attack faster and hit harder for a few seconds. Pair it with a tank that keeps it alive past the first exchange. A Reaver also works well, since its stuns land where the Pitfighter is swinging.

Pitfighter, of the quarry pits. Learned to fight in the pits under the old quarry. Goes in first and hits hard. Swings faster once the rage sets in.

Stars

Drop a duplicate onto the Pitfighter, or tap it and choose Upgrade, to star it up. Stars multiply health, damage and the ability's reach. The Pitfighter prices its own stars — 2, 2, 9 elixir per step — rather than the default curve.

Speed: 1.2 tiles/s

Mana per hit: 13 of 100
Unlock: Owned from the start

Attack speed climbs by 4% per second of battle, up to +300%; each star adds 20% to that rate.

Piercing Shot — Shoots an arrow through every enemy in a line for 250% damage.

250% of its damage · a corridor 6–9 tiles long and 1.2–1.8 wide (longer per star).

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Volley — Shoots 5 arrows in a fan. The side arrows deal 80%. An enemy can be hit by several, so up close it takes far more. Every arrow it lands, attack or Volley, heals it for 20% of the damage.

How to play it

Cheap ranged damage that attacks faster every second a round runs, and faster still per star, up to four times its starting speed. It has the longest range in the game, so from a back corner it still reaches their front row. Keep a body in front of it to buy it time. At three stars Piercing Shot becomes a five-arrow Volley that can hit one enemy with several arrows, so anything that walks up to it takes far more, and every arrow it lands heals it.

Longshot, Fletchers' apprentice. Shot the sign off the Fletchers' hall from across the mere. The Fletchers took her on the same day. Shoots faster the longer the round goes on.

Stars

Drop a duplicate onto the Longshot, or tap it and choose Upgrade, to star it up. Stars multiply health, damage and the ability's reach. The Longshot prices its own stars — 2, 2, 10 elixir per step — rather than the default curve.

a shield worth 35%–50% of max HP (more per star) · lasts 6s.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Bastion — Also forces enemies within 2.5 tiles to attack it for 3s.

How to play it

A sturdy tank for the front line. Shield Wall can save it from a killing blow. Put it in the column an enemy charge will come down, and build behind it. A Dyer's hits halve its shield.

Shieldbearer, from a family of Masons. Slow and square, like the walls the Masons build. Carries the heaviest shield in the Ring. Stands at the front so the others do not have to.

200% of its damage · radius 1.9 tiles · stuns for 0.9–1.8s (longer per star).

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Cataclysm — First leaps into the biggest group of enemies within 2.5 tiles, then slams everything within 2.2 tiles.

How to play it

Its spin hits every adjacent enemy, so put it in the middle of the fight. Skull Slam stuns everything nearby, which cancels the dying breath of anything it kills. Pair it with other front-line minis that hold enemies inside its spin. An army of only Reavers is weak.

Reaver, of no guild. Belongs to no guild and has never given a name. Came in by the Moon Gate one night and stayed. The crowd goes quiet just before the Skull Slam.

Stars

Drop a duplicate onto the Reaver, or tap it and choose Upgrade, to star it up. Stars multiply health, damage and the ability's reach. The Reaver prices its own stars — 3, 3, 11 elixir per step — rather than the default curve.

Trample — Deals 220% damage to enemies within 1.6 tiles (+0.2 per star), knocks them back 1 tile and stuns them for 0.5s.

220% of its damage · radius 1.6–2.2 tiles (wider per star) · stuns for 0.5s.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Stampede — After Trample, charges through the enemy line to the wall. Each enemy it hits takes 220% and is knocked aside.

How to play it

At battle start it charges down its column and knocks back the first enemy it hits. Line it up with their tank or a Shade's lane. If the lane is empty it hits the wall and is stunned for 2s. A Gaffer three tiles ahead hooks it before it moves, and a Mason's stone stops it.

Juggernaut, Smiths' work. Built by the Smiths to charge. Sets off the moment the horn sounds. It does not stop to aim.

Stars

Shadow Leap — Teleports to the lowest-health enemy and hits it for 280% damage.

280% of its damage.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Reaping — If that hit kills, it strikes the next lowest-health enemy for 280%.

How to play it

At battle start it leaps over the field onto their back row and can't be targeted in the air. Shadow Leap then blinks it to the weakest enemy, so it hunts Longshots, Menders and Pyromancers. It has little health, so avoid columns with an enemy Juggernaut or Javelineer. A Warden stuns it if it lands next to one.

Shade, the Dyers' bookkeeper. Keeps the Dyers' accounts by day. On Games night it leaps the whole arena to reach the back line. Goes for whoever is weakest.

At three stars: Inferno — The explosion leaves fire for 3s that deals 20% damage every 0.5s.

How to play it

Ranged splash damage. Every bolt splashes, and Arcane Blast hits a wide area. Keep it behind a Shieldbearer so it lives long enough to cast. Against an enemy Pyromancer, spread your minis out.

Pyromancer, once of the Chandlers. Thrown out of the Chandlers' Guild for using too much fire. Now brings the fire to the Ring instead. One blast hits everyone standing close together.

How to play it

It shoots like any ranged mini and saves all its healing for one Radiance at full mana. Radiance heals the most wounded ally anywhere on the board, and the next one for half as much. Place it where it will live longest, and kill theirs before it casts. A Dyer halves its heals.

Mender, of the Mere Chapel. Serves at the Mere Chapel. Fights from range until someone needs healing. Always heals the most wounded first.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Iron Chain — The stun also chains to 2 more enemies, each within 2 tiles of the last, for 2s.

How to play it

A back-line crossbow. Anything that charges or leaps in at battle start and lands beside it is stunned for 2s, so place it where their Shade or Juggernaut will land. It can't be stunned, and any stun aimed at it hits the caster instead. Shackle Bolt stuns its next target, and a Powderkeg killed while stunned does not explode.

Warden, the Ring's lamplighter. Lights the wall torches at dusk and keeps order after dark. Stuns anyone who charges or leaps in beside it. Cannot be stunned, and turns any stun back on whoever cast it.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Cluster Charge — The explosion throws 3 bomblets at nearby enemies. Each deals 30% of the blast.

How to play it

It walks to where its blast hits the most enemies and explodes, or goes off where it stands when its fuse runs out. Killed on the way, it still explodes unless it is stunned. A Javelineer's spear that kills it halves the blast. Stun it or knock it back before it reaches your line, and spread your army out.

Powderkeg, from the Coopers' yard. A Coopers' barrel packed with powder by the Chandlers. Walks into the biggest group of enemies and explodes. Goes off when the fuse runs out, wherever it is.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Dragnet — At battle start it also hooks the tiles on either side. Haul pulls the 3 farthest enemies.

How to play it

At battle start, before anything else moves, it hooks whatever stands exactly three tiles ahead and pulls it in, stunned. The plan screen shows the tile it will hook. A hooked Juggernaut, Shade or Javelineer loses its opening move. Avoid hooking a Powderkeg, since its fuse keeps burning at your feet.

Gaffer, of the mere boats. Fishes the mere by day with a gaff and a chain. Throws the hook at the horn, before anyone else moves. Once hooked a Mummer by mistake.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Skewer — Spears pass through the first enemy and hit the next one for half damage.

How to play it

A moment after battle start it throws a spear down its column, and the first enemy in the way takes a heavy hit. Place it in a column whose first enemy is a back-line mini. A Juggernaut or Shade crossing the spear's path takes it instead, and a Powderkeg it kills explodes at half strength. A Mason's stone blocks the spear, and a Gaffer's hook stops the throw.

Javelineer, the Smiths' spear tester. Tests every spear the Smiths make by throwing it. Opens each round with one hard throw straight down its lane. Keeps throwing for the rest of the fight.

Cast at full mana — or as a dying breath if it never got to cast, unless it is stunned.

At three stars: Rampart — Builds a wall of 3 stones at battle start.

How to play it

At battle start it raises a stone on the empty tile in front of it, so place it on your second row with that tile clear. The stone stops enemy charges and spears, and it still rises if a Gaffer hooks the Mason. Hooks, Shade leaps and ranged attacks go over it. Area attacks wear it down, enemies break it if that is quicker than walking round, and it crumbles when the Mason dies.

Mason, of the quarry face. Helped build the Ring's wall as an apprentice and still repairs it. Raises a block of stone in front of itself when the horn sounds. The stone stops charges and spears, but the Gaffer's hook goes over it.

How to play it

A cheap thrower that makes the rest of your army hit harder. Its hits halve the target's heals and shields for 3s, which counters a Mender, Shield Wall or Aegis. Indigo makes enemies near its target take 20% more damage and halves their heals and shields too. At three stars the stain turns to poison and spreads to every enemy near its target, so it melts a packed front line. Keep it behind your front line, as it is weak on its own.
