In a Draft match, you do not bring your own deck; instead, you build it on the fly by choosing between pairs of random cards.
Drafting is widely considered the ultimate test of a player's game knowledge, adaptability, and understanding of core synergies.
Drafting Priorities
The draft phase usually presents you with four choices; you pick one card for yourself, and give the other card to your opponent.
If you give your opponent the heavy spell and keep a useless support unit, they will easily dismantle your defenses from afar.
- Deny them synergy.
- Always take the versatile, cheap cycle cards.
- If forced to choose between two terrible cards, give them the more expensive one.
Sabotaging the Opponent
The cards you do not pick are sent directly to their hand, giving you incredible control over their strategy.
Their average elixir cost will skyrocket, their hand will be completely clogged, and they will be unable to defend your cheap, fast attacks.
| Bad Drafting | The Consequence |
|---|---|

If you have any sort of questions regarding where and the best ways to use tower rush, you could contact us at our web-site. E.K.K.A, rendering your Golem useless |
| Forgetting to draft any spells | You will have absolutely no way to finish off a tower with 100 hitpoints remaining in overtime |
Adaptability in the Arena
