Minion Masters!
Welcome to a special edition Minion Masters Monday! We've got lots to talk about in terms of our upcoming brand new game mode, Adventures! Let's not waste any time and get right into it:
Adventures
Adventures is a brand new PvE game mode where you play a single-player story with unique mechanics and content!
The Quest for Mountainshaper
In our first Adventure, you join Milloween as she attempts to recover the Mountainshaper, an ancient artifact required to save the world from an unknown but terrifying threat.
With plenty of dangers along the way, she’ll need to enlist the aid of likely and unlikely heroes.

Interview with a PTR Tester
Today, we have an interview with one of our PTR Testers Jamez28 from the Official Minion Masters Discord. We wanted to ask him personally what he thought about our new Adventures feature.
BD: Thanks for taking the time to be interviewed. Can you introduce yourself and how long you've been playing Minion Masters for?
Jamez28: Heyo, Im Jamez28, moderator and tournament competitor and ive been playing Minion Masters since early 2017 so around 2 years at this point.
BD: So, you were among the first to test Adventures for us in the PTR. What did you enjoy most about playing it?
Jamez28: I really enjoyed discovering all the different bosses you could encounter during the adventure, many familiar faces from expeditions but tons of new and interesting ones.
BD: Do you have any general advice to give new players getting started in Adventures?
Jamez28: Yeah, adventures are gonna be tough and sometimes they might even feel unfair but then you're gonna have some runs where you sweep the floor vs the bosses and you'll feel like a strategic mastermind.
BD: Who was your favourite of the five masters you could play as?
Jamez28: If I had to make a choice it'd be Jolo, the Hero Scrat, stealing cards from your opponent was phenomenal in establishing tempo and really wrestling control of the game back to you.
BD: Thanks again for your time. Do you have any shoutouts you'd like to make?
Jamez28: Yeah, I'd shoutout the TCL, theyre putting on a lot more tournaments regularly and its a great way to play versus some of the best of Minion Masters and earn some nice rewards along the way, i'd recommend anyone to sign up even if you think you aren't good enough.
Cheers from BetaDwarf!
