Rush tactics are designed specifically to catch you off guard and destroy a tower before you can even react.
In this comprehensive defensive manual, we will outline the exact steps required to crush these aggressive openers.
Maintaining Composure
Take a deep breath, analyze the specific units they deployed, and select the optimal counter from your hand.
If they used a fast, single-target heavy hitter, deploying a cheap distraction unit is the correct play.
- Memorize the interactions.
- They have no energy left.
- Spacing is critical.
The Art of the Pull
By placing a cheap building or a low-cost ground unit in the center of your side, you can pull them away from the tower.
Once the rushing units are locked onto your distraction, you can deploy your own damage dealers safely behind them.
| Rush Unit | Best Counter Strategy |
|---|---|
| Fast Building Targeter | Place a building (Cannon/Tesla) three tiles from the river in the center |
| Twin Bruisers | Kite with an Ice Golem into the center while using ranged support |
The Devastating Counter-Push
