Minotaurs are a standard reinforcement and the only unit to spawn from gates in the beginning of the match. They are relatively weak and serve more as frontline meat shields than actual combat units. Early in the match, they are the main source of experience points and gold for Demigods. Upgrades can improve their combat ability but Minotaurs should not be relied on to win a battle alone.
With the proper idols, a more powerful version of the minotaur can also be summoned by generals.
