Season 87 — Live September 7

Minion Academy Season Hub

Minion Giant debuts as a 4-elixir flying win condition that targets buildings, fires toxic projectiles, and cannot be knocked back — it stays out of chests until Season 88, so the Academy Antics Album Event (up to 3 snippets per day; full completion = 1,750 Minion Giant cards) is the free unlock path. Hero Ice Wizard arrives too (Frosty Fella freezes all nearby troops), with 5 dated events across the season including 2v2 League, Princess Gambit, and the new Royale Shuffle mode.
