Defeating Fast Decks in Tower Rush

From the very first second of the match, they are relentlessly assaulting the bridge with cheap, high-damage units, never allowing you a moment to breathe or execute your own strategy.

Fast decks prey entirely on players who panic, over-defend, and leak elixir.

Establishing the Rhythm

If you use a Cannon to defend their Hog Rider, they will play four 1-elixir cards to cycle back to a second Hog Rider before your Cannon is back in your hand.

They are forced to spend their cheap cycle spells (like Fireball or Log) specifically to destroy your building, severely hindering their ability to cycle quickly.

• Bridge Spam players will often drop a unit in the left lane, wait for your response, and instantly drop a unit in the right lane.
• Use swarm units to surround their fast attackers.
• If you successfully defend their fast push and have a massive elixir advantage, counter-attack immediately.

The Inevitable Crush

Your sole objective during single elixir is simply survival; keep your towers above 50% health and do not allow them to build a massive lead.

Once your tank crosses the river supported by heavy splash units, their cheap 1-elixir skeletons and ice spirits will be utterly useless, and their defenses will shatter under the weight of the deathball.

Patience is the Ultimate Weapon

If you refuse to panic, their entire strategy falls apart.

Speed is an illusion if it crashes into an unmovable object.
