The Generals update is easily one of the biggest progression systems added to Mini War so far. Instead of giving you temporary boosts, Generals provide permanent bonuses that improve different parts of your empire. Some focus on your economy, others strengthen your army, while a few make conquering the map much easier.
The best part is that once you’ve unlocked the system, every new General you collect expands your options depending on how you like to play. If you’re wondering how to unlock Generals, how the recruitment system works, or which ones are worth chasing, this guide covers everything you need to know.
Mini War Generals Guide – Unlock Every General, Perks
Before you can recruit your first General, you’ll need to unlock the feature through the Research Tree.
Follow this research path:
Start → Alliances → Clans → Researcher → Generals
Researching Generals costs:
- $500,000
- Around 25 minutes to complete
If you don’t want to wait, you can instantly finish the research using 45 Robux.
Once the research is complete, visit the Shopkeeper and open the Special Items section.
Purchase the General Residence for:
- $1,000,000, or
- 360 Robux
Place the building on your plot, and the General system will become available.
How to Get New Generals
After unlocking the feature, it’s time to start building your collection.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the Market.
- Walk to the General Roll Stall.
- Interact with it.
- Spend 125 Gems for one General roll.
If you prefer slightly better odds, there’s also a 2× Luck Roll available for 49 Robux.
One nice feature is that your very first roll is completely free, so every player starts with at least one General.
If you roll a General you already own, you won’t lose your roll. Instead, you’ll receive Gems back based on that General’s rarity.
General Rarities
Generals are divided into six rarity levels:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
