Best Hero – Pet Combinations in Clash of Clans (with Minion Prince)

Adding pets to heroes is the latest addition in Clash of Clans that let you fine-tune your strategy even more but there are also many players that now are confused what pets they should match with their heroes to get the most out of it.

The good news for starters here is, it’s not giving you endless possibilities and unless you’re really fine-tuning your attacks and playing at a very top level of the game right now, the choices are quite limited and also quite clear.

In this guide here I will give you the main setup that makes sense for, I’d say, 93% of all players and also why each hero practically has a favorite pet that works best in normal circumstances.

Barbarian King

Here are the viable pets for the Barbarian King that make sense using

Phoenix

ⓘ Details

S

Phoenix with the revive abilities is the go-to pet for many players with Barbarian King as you get a second chance to take out compartments..

✖ Remove Ads

Angry Jelly

ⓘ Details

A

Can be used to clear of a compartment only for the defenses with the Giant Gauntlet or syn the BK to Root Riders.

Frosty

ⓘ Details

A

Reduce incoming damage and Barbarian King in his kit is the hero that will benefit the msot from that and for that reason Frosty is the 2nd most popular pet to use along Barbarian King in Clash of Clans..

Mighty Yak

ⓘ Details

B

⁺

Being close range and opening compartments helps Barbarian King the most out of all heroes with Mighty Yak as pet and there are enough strategies that utilize that combo really well. Not as popular as Frosty and Phoenix simply are so much stronger overall, but still a hero-pet combo you should have on your list!.

L.A.S.S.I

ⓘ Details

B

More of a niche pairing and although you see it here and there, I really am not a huge fan of this combo since LASSI is so quick that it will get trageted by defenses ahead of Barbarian King so often that it can be frustrating..

Archer Queen

Here are the viable pets for the Archer Queen that make sense using

Unicorn

ⓘ Details

S

⁺

Is just such a slam-dunk pairing here with Queen Charges. This is probably one of the single hero-pet pairings in Clash of Clans that you will see so frequently.

Phoenix

ⓘ Details

B

⁺

Gives your Queen Charge a second approach and for that reason you might think it's amazing. The reason why not too many players pick it is that it can be squishy and unreliable and often enough you will run into a lost air mine and your whole backup plan goes down the drain..

Grand Warden

Here are the viable pets for the Grand Warden that make sense using

Electro Owl

ⓘ Details

A

⁺

They are made for each other with the air mode and the range. No other hero will be able to utilize the Electro Owl as pet well and many other pets have their flaws with the Grand Warden, making this a very useful pairing.

Poison Lizard

ⓘ Details

A

⁺

Is next to Electro Owl the most useful pairing with the warden in ground mode.

Angry Jelly

ⓘ Details

A

With the Fireball and Angry Jelly, you can clearly see what you will target and use this in your strategy well.

Phoenix

ⓘ Details

B

Can work but I think that Owl (air mode) and Lizard (ground mode) simply work a lot more naturally than Phoenix, espcially with Phoenix being working a lot better on your King or Queen that this pairing doesn't make too much sense for me rather than very situational niche orchestrated attacks in war..

✖ Remove Ads

Frosty

ⓘ Details

B

Can work well with the warden on support (no warden walk!).

Royal Champion

Here are the viable pets for the Royal Champion that make sense using

Diggy

ⓘ Details

S

⁺

The targeting mechanics and the way they work together make it clear that this pet is designed to run with Royal Champion and vice versa in Clash of Clans and is the best pet-hero pairing in the game.

Spirit Fox

ⓘ Details

A

⁺

Is now a solid contestant for the Royal Champion as you don't have to worry mechanics and it will allow the Royal Champion to overcome some tricky situations.

Minion Prince

Here are the viable pets for the Minion Prince that make sense using

Angry Jelly

ⓘ Details

S

Absolutely the best pet combo with Minion Prince since you can charge the Minion Prince with your air army so well that there is no competition to this pairup right now.

Electro Owl

ⓘ Details

S

With the way you use the Minion Prince, the Owl with air attacks can also make sense but by far, Angry Jelly is the best.
