In recent years, the tower rush genre has seen an explosion of creativity, fundamentally altering how matches are played.
We have moved far beyond the simple days of dropping a heavy tank at the bridge and hoping it connects with the tower.
The Hero Update
For a small elixir cost, you can now force your Champion to dash, turn invisible, or summon a massive protective shield exactly when you need it.
It shifted the focus slightly away from pure macro-level resource management and heavily toward micro-level unit control.
- Use it to instantly close the gap to the Princess tower.
- The ‘Invisibility’ ability drops all current aggro.
- Adapt quickly.
Evolving the Meta
These Evolved units often possess vastly superior stats, unique attacks, or the ability to survive spells that would normally kill them instantly.
You must know exactly when the opponent is holding an Evolved unit, as treating it like the standard version will result in a lost tower.
| Innovative Feature | Execution |
|---|---|
| Card Evolutions | Play a specific card X number of times to unlock a supercharged version for the next deployment |
| Custom Defenses | Players can now swap the default Princess on the tower with different characters that shoot faster, slower, or deal splash damage |
The Future of Mechanics
The game you played three years ago is not the same game you are playing today.
Innovation is the true king of the arena.
