The Mimic Family is a fresh addition introduced in the Empires & Puzzles Beta Version 76.1, and honestly, it brings a new layer of strategy—especially for players who love to farm efficiently. If you’re curious about how this new family works, what makes these heroes unique, and how they perform in different modes, let’s break it all down.

🔮 What is the Mimic Family?

The Mimic Family is a newly introduced hero family designed specifically with farming in mind. Their core family bonus is quite appealing:

When you complete Quests or Campaign Map stages using Mimic Family heroes, you have a chance to earn bonus rewards—such as extra heroes or valuable resources.

This bonus is tied to a unique passive called Mimic Loot.

🎁 Mimic Loot – Family Bonus Details:

• All Mimic Heroes receive Mimic Loot as their family passive.
• This passive gives a chance for extra loot when:
  • Completing Campaign Map or Quest levels.
  • Defeating enemies in Horde levels of Monster Island.
• Chances and rewards scale based on the energy cost of the level.
• To activate this bonus, Mimic Heroes must be fully leveled and fully ascended.

This adds strong incentive for players to max out their Mimic Heroes if they want to boost their farming efficiency.

⚙️ Lower Leveling & Ascension Costs

One of the biggest advantages of the Mimic heroes is their cheaper upgrade cost. According to the Beta patch notes:

• Their leveling and ascension requires fewer materials and resources.
• In the latest update (Beta V76.4), their upgrade costs have been further adjusted to match hero costume upgrades, making them even more accessible and efficient to develop.

This makes Mimic heroes a smart investment for resource-conscious players, especially since their main use case is farming—not frontline PvP battles. Keeping their upgrade cost inexpensive just makes sense.

👥 Meet the Experience Mimic Heroes

The Mimic Family is made up of five new heroes—each one called an Experience Mimic. They span across the core elements:

• 🔥 Fire

• ❄️ Ice

• 🌿 Nature

• 🌟 Holy

• 🌑 Dark

What’s interesting is that they’re nearly identical in terms of:

• Hero class
• Base stats
• Skill effects
• Visual style

🧬 What Kind of Heroes Are They?

These heroes function as Minion Destroyers, Snipers, Healers, and Mana Boosters—a hybrid design that gives them flexibility. Their kit allows them to:

• Clean up enemies with minions (Mega Minions),
• Deal solid single-target damage,
• and if the target is defeated (they gain health & mana recovery).

This makes them ideal Tanks or Flanks in farming or casual Raid scenarios, though they’re not built to dominate in high-tier PvP.

🧪 Testing the Mimic Heroes

Let’s talk performance. Here’s how they hold up in different gameplay modes based on current Beta testing:

📘 Campaign Mode

The Mimic heroes truly shine here. With their bonus loot potential and decent survivability, they are perfect farming companions, especially for stages with high world energy costs. The higher the energy required for a map, the better the bonus loot chances.

⚔️ Raid Mode

In Raids, they’re not your go-to nukers, but they can still be useful. Their immunity to damage and status ailments (as stated in some skill descriptions) gives them durability, making them viable in Tank or Flank roles, though they lack high offensive pressure.

🐉 Titan Mode

This is where Mimic heroes fall short. Titans demand specific skills—heavy damage output, defense down, and tile damage boosts. Mimic heroes just don’t bring that toolkit, so they’re not optimal for Titan fights.

🏁 Final Thoughts

To sum it up, the Mimic Family is a great addition for players who love to farm efficiently and get more value from their runs. Their lower upgrade costs, simple skill sets, and bonus reward mechanics make them:

• ✅ Great for Quests and Campaign maps
• 🟡 Mediocre for casual Raids (Tank/Flank roles)
• ❌ Not recommended for Raids & Titan fights

If you’re planning to boost your farming game, investing in Mimic heroes is a smart move. Just make sure to fully level and ascend them to activate their full potential.
