PlantedMine

A Planted Mine

Mine is an item that has a chance to drop after successfully defending an Item Island. Mines was added in the Jotunn Edition update.

Mines can be given to your Commander to give them the ability to plant a mine that will explode upon impact with an enemy, up to 2 mines per island. The explosion will deal a decent amount of damage, knock back units and stun them. It can be upgraded to level 2 for 8 coins and level 3 for 14 coins. Each upgrade increases the number of mines you can plant per island by 1, level 3 upgrade also provides a more powerful explosion with bigger explosion and higher damage, enough to kill a level 3 Infantry at point blank.

As with every item in the game, once it is assigned to a commander, it cannot be removed anymore. You can choose Mines as a starting item once you have unlocked it.

  • Any unit can utilize this item to its potential.

Pros[]

  • Can be useful for blocking a choke point.
  • Can be used many times per island.

  • Hard to use effectively.
  • Have to set up before the enemy arrives.

Notes[]

  • Can harm your units.
  • Its explosion can sometimes hit your troops if they are standing next to a mine tile, almost guaranteed with level 3 Mines.
  • Mines are activated way earlier if it's placed where the enemy lands their ship, resulting in an ineffective explosion, and dealing minor damage.
