Pay more for new minion? (in General)

is it worth the way extra money to spend on a new minion, or are you better off with just the lowest fee? why?

Always go for the expensive option. It gives more XP per dollar spent.

1 xp per 3$ for the expensive option 1 per 5$ for the cheap. Most of the minions I have bought have been the cheap one, the more expensive is better value but sometimes you just want another minion for the least amount of cash :)

I would say, if the new minion were a wall, buy the cheap one, and if it's anything other than a wall (E or T) I would go with the expensive one, because you'll need the extra EXP.

Well, walls need HP, depending on the team stance...

If you don't need all XP possible on that minion, it's too early to hire him...

I've always gone for expensive one.

Yes.

Because you are spending a ton of money on XP - you can either buy a little bit for more $/exp ratio, or buy a lot for a lower $/exp ratio. It's a fairly obvious choice, and especially so for a NUB receiver.

But keep in mind that the longer you wait to hire a new minion, the more MPR gain you'll make with that minion. It is suggested that you wait just as long as possible.
