Deskrawl Minions Guide: Confirmed Capture and Trading Basics

What Are Deskrawl Minions?

Deskrawl minions are tied to the game's confirmed loop of defeating enemies, capturing them to serve you, and combining minions with gear and abilities. The Steam store page also lists minions among the valuable things players can trade with each other.

Confirmed Basics

How To Think About Minions

Build planning should treat minions as one part of Deskrawl's power stack alongside equipment, abilities, Gems, Runes, and class choice. A strong public guide should explain how to test minion value rather than inventing a finished tier list before the launch build is stable.

Minion Questions Before Launch

How do you capture enemies in Deskrawl?

Steam confirms that Deskrawl lets players capture enemies as minions, but this wiki should not publish exact capture rates, required items, locations, or timing until those details are verified from the launch build or a dated official source.

What do minions do?

Minions serve as part of your character's build alongside gear and abilities. Treat them as support pieces to test for damage, survival, and idle consistency rather than as a finished ranking before the September 28, 2026 release can be checked.

Can bosses become minions?

Boss capture rules are not yet confirmed for the final launch build. Do not assume a boss can become a minion, or that a specific Rein or drop source is required, unless current in-game evidence or First Day Games confirms it.

Evidence To Collect

• Screenshot or source showing the minion name.
• How the minion is obtained.
• Whether a Rein is involved.
• Combat role observed in the current build.
• Tradeability status after launch.
• Patch date if the minion changes.
