Offensive & Placement Tips

Evo Barrel vs. Evo Cannon: When your opponent has an Evo Cannon, don't place your Evo Barrel in the middle. Instead, place it behind the tower [00:27]. This positioning causes the cannon to miss more goblins, resulting in significantly more damage [00:33].

Log Bait Princess Trick: To get a Princess to lock onto the tower even when an opponent has defensive buildings like a Cannon or Cage, place her at the bridge and immediately play an Ice Spirit behind her [03:58]. The spirit pushes her forward, catching the opponent off guard [04:04].

Dodging Fireball with Princess: You can save your Princess from a Fireball by using a precise Skeletons placement [07:02]. The skeletons nudge the Princess slightly, moving her out of the Fireball's radius [07:05].

Mini P.E.K.K.A. Ability: Use the ability with precise timing to evade Tornado pulls [01:42]. Because the unit stays in place during the animation, it avoids being pulled for a King Tower activation [01:50].

King Tower Activations

Against Magic Archer: When the Magic Archer is on the outer tile, use an Ice Spirit at a specific tile to pull the archer's arrow and activate your King Tower [01:05].

Against Mortar: You can activate the King Tower by placing Skeletons or Goblins with specific timing on top of an enemy Mortar [01:24].

Against Bowler: Place a Tesla on a specific middle tile before the Bowler's boulder hits your tower for a free King Tower activation [04:28]. If the Bowler is not on the outside tile, use a Spirit to nudge it into position first [04:54].

Against Hog Rider: For RG players, a well-timed Fisherman plus Log combo can activate the King Tower while taking zero damage [05:12].

Against Royal Ghost: Note that a Fisherman can now only activate the King Tower if the Ghost is placed on the inner side of the bridge [06:25]. If the Ghost is on the outer or middle tile, the Fisherman will no longer trigger the activation due to pathfinding changes [06:43].

Defensive Strategies

Balloon Denial: There is a very precise Fireball timing that can completely negate a Balloon hit [02:21]. However, it is noted as being extremely difficult and risky to pull off [02:28].

Little Prince (Hero Musketeer) vs. Monk: Time the Musketeer's ability so she doesn't die to the Monk's reflection, keeping her alive for a larger counter-push [02:48].

Countering Royal Recruits: Fully counter Recruits using Skeletons by placing them so that three recruits hit the same skeleton simultaneously [03:20]. This prevents the recruits from picking off the skeletons one by one [03:34].

Archer Queen vs. Monk: Use an Ice Spirit right before activating the Queen's ability [05:35]. The Monk cannot use its reflection ability while frozen, allowing the Queen to deal massive damage [05:43].

Battle Ram vs. Cannon: Placing a Cannon high (closer to the bridge) is much more effective than a middle placement [07:24]. A high cannon can fully defend a Battle Ram for zero hits, whereas a low cannon allows the Barbarians to reach the tower [07:37].
