While massive tanks and rapid-firing archers often steal the spotlight, spells are the true silent killers of the arena.

However, because they leave no physical presence on the battlefield, missing a spell is a catastrophic waste of resources.

The Light Spells: Cycle and Control

Light spells, typically costing one to three energy, are the primary tools for dealing with cheap swarm units.

A well-placed snowball can push a defending unit out of range, allowing your attacker to lock onto the tower instead.

• The log is unparalleled for ground defense.
• Practice predictive small spells.
• Know the exact damage your spell does.

The Heavy Spells: Destruction and Value

If your opponent places a musketeer and a cannon directly next to their princess tower, a fireball provides insane value.

Heavy spells are also the ultimate tie-breakers in sudden death; if a tower is low, you can bypass all defenses to destroy it.

The Perfect Match

A slow Golem deck requires Lightning to instantly remove defensive Inferno Towers that threaten the tank.

Magic is a precise science in the arena; treat it with the respect it deserves.
