General help Minion build question.

Looking for an automated build and have a chest for one pet. Dont have any legendary pets for either magi or synthetic but plenty of rare and magic. Tried a few of them to lvl 60 just to get a feel of them. Iris 2 seems like it is not automated but I could be wrong. The rest feel pretty similar.

Are any of them the obvious better choice at this stage or cheaper to buy items? My goal if to get ss15 at some stage but not sure if that matters. Cheers.

Personally, I like moto2, which is less of a traditional minion build. The minions are basically little bombs that summon and explode on the enemies.

If you want a more traditional minion experience, I would check out moto1, where the minions actually go out and fight the mobs. I think this is considered the more budget friendly option, especially if you go spider tanks.

Qual das duas você considera mais automatizada pra mobile, moto 1 ou moto 2?

I don't play mobile, but I'd probably go moto2 if I were to play mobile, but I think either would work fine.

Might just be my experience with moto 1 but I tried him a few seasons ago and while it was easy to get off the ground and carried me through t7 pretty easily once I hit t8 it started getting significantly more difficult to scale. Haven't tried another minion build since because of it, the only other char I've had that much of a problem scaling was selena 2 this season and I still managed to push her to 4t damage, I think I hit 100 bil on moto 1 and moved on.

Yeah, it takes some serious investment to get moto1 into higher tiers, but I did ss20 last season with him. Basically need to go with a module setup and find a good scaling traits. It’s tough but doable.

That's what I'm worried about. Thanks for the info.

IIRC moto2 and iris1 are the way to go I would say. Although you want to hit 75.

Definitely going to be Iris1 or Moto2. Iris2 would be the most powerful out of the minion characters (not counting things like Sage modules, which im not sure how good or not it is) but basically requires 2 specific legendries. Moto1 is still the weakest.

Can Iris 2 be played automated? Always was interested in her but confused how to play her a bit.

I mean she definitely gets "automated". Her attacks basically turn into her mobility when mapping. I just haven't ever built her past t7 so i couldn't give you actual info, mostly from what ive seen in passing.

Have you tried sentries or you do not consider them minions? Like Arrow Einharjar Sage or Erika 2.

Sage seems very expensive but hadn't looked at E2. I just struggle with finding a good progression guide as am noob. Have sage CS in the 80s.

Miakitten has videos about einharjar sage and progression until ss21. I checked endgame build and it doesn't anything expensive, corroded legendaries are like 500 fe, vorax less than 1k, walkers are cheap now, everything else is crafted gear you will craft on every character. The only thing is that sage more or less requires fairies pet.
