Which makes it a weak bonus to start with. Thereās no reason it should be even weaker by having one of the heroes unable to take advantage of it at all.
Even if Carol only spawned a minion for herself that would be better. And hardly unbalanced.
The family bonus applies to unique characters.

Ya, donāt get me wrong, it seems like Carol should stick to the minion theme / family bonus and be able to generate one. Iām just sayingā¦ she does or at least can, benefit from the family bonus when you bring other Christmas heroes. Canāt ever see bringing her along with a 3* hero such as Rudolph, but it certainly will happen on rare occasion.
Just because a bonus is sometimes present and sometimes not, doesnāt make it weaker. For an absurd example, if damage to your team was reduced by 90%, and offensive damage was increased 100% while minions were present, that would without question be ā¦ broken. The strength of the family bonus factored in with how often the family bonus is active, is what makes a bonus strong or weak.
Anyway, Iām all for Carol summoning a minion. Just saying that just because a family bonus isnāt always active, doesnāt mean its weak, its strength is also based on how good the bonus is when its active. How good is this bonus? Beats me.

Looks like Skadi is go-to hero for this event, eh?
Skadi, Noor and Gefjon are great in this events.
Question, if enemies has bonus minions, and Gefjon steal it,ā¦ the bonus is still applied on Gefjon or not? I assume the bonus is not applied.
The bonus is applied.
Note that the stat boost only applies to minions SUMMONED by the winter hero.
Not minions OWNED by the winter hero.
Reason is because minion stats are inherited from the CASTER.

what?
Yes,ā¦
OK, let me clear my question with example:
MN - Santa - Krampus
All 3 together in boss wave, then summon minnions. So those minnion have bonus applied.
Normal minion: 10% HP / 10% ATK
Bonus 3x family minion: +10%HP / +10% ATK
Total stat after bonus each minion: 20% HP / 20% ATK
So, if Gefjon steal minion from them. Gefjon get minion with 20% HP / 20% ATK ?
Gefjon literally steals the minion as it is at the time.
So if the minion has lost 50% of its HP then thatās what gefjon gets.

I always find it easier to kill the opponent or use time stops to prevent the enemy from ever casting. That way you can keep your best lineup in and not have to worry about the minions.
