Defeating Fast Decks in Tower Rush

There is a distinct, panic-inducing feeling that occurs when you realize your opponent is playing a hyper-fast Cycle or Bridge Spam deck.

To defeat them, you must establish an impenetrable defensive rhythm and learn to absorb minor chip damage to build a massive counter-offensive.

Slowing the Pace: The Defensive Anchor

To break this relentless loop, you must utilize an ‘anchor’ defensive building, such as a Bomb Tower or a Tesla, placed perfectly in the center of the arena.

These buildings not only stop the immediate threat but usually survive the encounter, remaining on the board as a massive physical barrier against their next rapid attack.

• Stay calm.
• A perfectly placed Skeleton Army will instantly melt a charging Battle Ram before it hits the tower.
• They have no heavy defenses to stop a massive push.

Surviving Until Overtime

If you are playing a heavy Beatdown deck against a fast Cycle deck, you must accept that the first two minutes of the game will be miserable.

You can now afford to drop your massive 8-elixir tank in the back and still have plenty of elixir to defend their desperate Bridge Spam attempts on the opposite lane.

Patience is the Ultimate Weapon

Fast decks rely heavily on causing panic and capitalizing on the clumsy, expensive mistakes that follow.

Be the anchor, weather the storm, and crush them in overtime.
