Rush tactics are designed specifically to catch you off guard and destroy a tower before you can even react.
However, when properly identified and countered, a failed rush leaves the attacker completely defenseless.
Maintaining Composure
The very first rule of defending a massive bridge spam is to keep your finger off the screen for a split second.
Reacting efficiently rather than expensively is the secret to turning their aggression into your advantage.
- Hover your defensive spell early.
- Place defenders in the middle to pull aggro.
- Accept minor tower damage if necessary.
The Art of the Pull
This technique, known as kiting or pulling, buys your towers precious time to shoot them down safely.
Once the rushing units are locked onto your distraction, you can deploy your own damage dealers safely behind them.
| Aggressive Card | How to Stop It |
|---|---|
| Fast Building Targeter | Use a Tornado to pull him to the King Tower |
| Elite Barbarians | Kite with an Ice Golem into the center while using ranged support |
The Devastating Counter-Push
The beauty of defending a rush perfectly is that you now have a massive army marching toward their side of the map.
Defending perfectly is far more satisfying than attacking blindly.
