Becoming acquainted with Clash Mini<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me begin my Clash Mini review by looking at some of the introductory elements<\/strong>. There\u2019s no story <\/strong>to the game, so it\u2019s more of a mobile battle arena <\/strong>without any plot. You\u2019ll fight others for a chance to rule the leaderboard with casual progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mastering the basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you start playing Clash Mini, there will be a short introduction<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have to follow the guidelines<\/strong> during and after the fight. Once you have the hang of the mechanics, you\u2019ll be on your own until you unlock new features or abilities. The game is quick to learn and not too challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Clash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Choosing your initial characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the tutorial, you\u2019ll need to select a primary hero<\/strong>. Each one has different abilities, so read more about them and choose carefully. You won\u2019t be stuck with the hero too long, as the chance to unlock and opt for a new one will appear after some gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Clash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Abilities, and how to use them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Minions<\/strong>, or units<\/strong>, accompany your hero into battle. They also have specific abilities<\/strong>, but there\u2019s a limit to how many can join you. You\u2019ll see a small blue bar under the health meter for each unit. Once it\u2019s full, it unleashes the character\u2019s primary ability against the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which power the unit uses depends on the level<\/strong>. I\u2019ll touch on that a bit more later in my Clash Mini review. With each star<\/strong> that your character has, a new skill becomes available that makes it more powerful<\/strong>. That\u2019s why switching minions or heroes is so risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Supercell account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not long after you start playing Clash Mini, the game will ask you if you want to create a Supercell account<\/strong>. I recommend that you do<\/strong>. If you switch devices<\/strong> or decide to play on Windows with Bluestacks, you\u2019ll be able to use your accumulated points on your account. There\u2019s also a special skin reward, depending on when you join.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rising up the ranks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before I get into the actual game mechanics for Clash Mini, I want to quickly touch on the ranks. Your profile has its own leveling system<\/strong>. As you win battles and gain experience, you\u2019ll climb up the steps towards a new rank. The higher the rank, the better the rewards<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also unlock different units at specific rank levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Clash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playing Clash Mini with strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you excited to play Clash Mini yet? Before you head to your phone and install it, you may want to see what the combat mechanics and modes are like. My review has only given you a taste of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two modes to play<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are only two modes <\/strong>available in Clash Mini, but you can play them in two ways. Firstly, you have Rumble and Dual modes<\/strong>. The former lets you battle opponents in a tournament setting<\/strong>, where the winner continues to fight other players until you reach the semi-finals and finals. Dual-mode is simply a 1v1 match <\/strong>over three to five rounds to see who the ultimate victor is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s look at how you can play these modes. There\u2019s a casual, unranked setting<\/strong> where Clash Mini randomly picks opponents regardless of rank. I\u2019ve lost many battles this way since I faced players much stronger than me. I prefer the ranked version<\/strong>, where opponents seem to be the same rank as me. It makes it much easier for a beginner to win rewards and units this way. Sadly, there are no other modes, such as Story or 4v4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games similar to Clash Mini by the same developer include Clash Quest<\/a> <\/strong>and Clash Royale<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding combat mechanics in Clash Mini<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, what actually happens during a Clash Mini battle<\/strong>? When the match begins, you\u2019ll have three units in a bar with your hero on the board. You can\u2019t see where your enemy\u2019s troops<\/strong> are just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the right, there\u2019s an elixir bottle<\/strong> with points. Each unit will cost you points to transfer to the board. There\u2019s a refill button that changes the current selection of minions, but you\u2019ll only have three chances per match<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the timer counts down, the match starts whether or not you\u2019re ready. You\u2019ll have no control over the battle<\/strong> as units move towards or attack the closest opponents. When the health bar runs out<\/strong> on a unit, they die<\/strong>. The match ends when one side no longer has any characters left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next round, your units all return to the board<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll have new elixir points. I\u2019ll discuss how to use these in a bit. All you need to know is that you can add more minions or upgrade them<\/strong>. The match continues until there\u2019s a winner. The first one to reach three trophies<\/strong> in dual mode<\/strong> wins. You\u2019ll only need one victory <\/strong>per opposing player in rumble mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Elixir points wisely<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The elixir point is the most significant strategic element<\/strong> in Clash Mini. Each unit has a different value<\/strong>. The smaller, more basic minions will cost you about 2, while the larger ones will be 4. You have about 6 points to allocate per round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy becomes more intense when you need to decide whether to upgrade or place a new unit<\/strong>. If you already have that minion on the board, you can move the same type into the arena to level it up<\/strong>. It unlocks a special ability <\/strong>for that character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other option of adding more unit<\/strong>s means you might overwhelm your opponent if they only have a few troops. However, it doesn\u2019t help if they\u2019ve upgraded minions that quickly kill your team. You need to find a balance between numbers and skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upgrading heroes and units<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can only unlock new abilities and level units<\/strong> up<\/strong> in battle after you level them up. When you head to the sections for heroes and minions, you\u2019ll notice stars under them. The max level is 3 stars<\/strong>, which opens all the abilities for that unit. Chests and rewards provide you with hero and minion cards that help you upgrade them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More items in the Battle Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you like paying for items in games, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Clash Mini has an in-game transaction system<\/strong> that\u2019s like Battle Pass in Call of Duty multiplayer modes. You\u2019ll need to subscribe to unlock specific rewards <\/strong>when you climb the tiers. In the shop, you can also use green gems<\/strong> to obtain unique units and items.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Placing your units wisely<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It may not seem important in the beginning, but how you place your units<\/strong> on the board is vital to winning the match. Sure, you can\u2019t see where your opponent\u2019s fighters are. However, you\u2019ll get an idea of how they play in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me give you an example from the Clash Mini matches I played for this review. There\u2019s a goblin that has the chance to throw a heavy spear before any other units move, straight down the board. Your opponent will watch where you place your hero<\/strong> in the first round so they can target it with this fighter in the second round. It\u2019s best to shuffle them around <\/strong>between rounds to confuse the other player<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also need to visualize where the enemy units may be<\/strong>. Your melee units will walk towards the closest opponent, so they should be upfront. The ranged fighters can shoot from anywhere, so keep them close to your hero at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else Clash Mini has to offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You now have a deeper understanding of how Clash Mini works. Before I end my review, I want to give a quick overview of some other elements I haven\u2019t covered yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superb mobile visuals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clash Mini provides outstanding visuals<\/strong> on mobile devices that don\u2019t cause the performance to lag. Of course, it depends on how much space and memory you have on your tablet or phone. I love how much color there is, and you\u2019ll unlock more boards as you progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Clash<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brilliant animations and effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The action in Clash Mini is adorable and intense<\/strong> at the same time. You\u2019ll watch those ability bars fill up, waiting for that ultimate power to unleash. There are some pretty devastating attacks that made me gape in excitement. The battle sounds are also exhilarating, especially when everyone is fighting at full force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest Clash Mini news<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Supercell is constantly working on new features<\/strong>. Season 3 was released a few days ago, so you can start early to rise up the tiers. Fortunately, I was able to use the new Skeleton ranger<\/strong> that just appeared a few hours ago in Clash Mini. There\u2019s a tab at the top where you can access the latest announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Verdict of Clash Mini<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clash Mini provides a fun mobile battle experience that\u2019s almost casual in nature. My children and I took turns fighting online opponents, and we loved collecting as many units as possible. Since you don\u2019t have much control over the actual battle, it sometimes feels like you\u2019re winning or losing based on luck. Still, you don\u2019t feel like a loser when defeated, and it leaves you eager to try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoyed this game, you may want to look at our Clash Royale review. Supercell also made this title, but you\u2019ll have towers and lanes to deal with, much like League of Legends<\/a> <\/strong>and DOTA 2<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
