In the diverse ecosystem of arena battlers, almost every strategy relies on sending troops across the river to physically attack the enemy tower.
This playstyle is often viewed as incredibly toxic by the community because it forces the opponent to constantly play offense against a heavily fortified position.
The Defensive Wall
Your sole objective is to protect that X-Bow at all costs; if it locks onto the enemy tower for even five seconds, the game is practically won.
You use these cheap troops as meat shields, physically blocking enemy tanks and assassins from ever touching your precious artillery.
- Use spells predictively.
- Let the X-Bow die, cycle your cards, and try again later.
- In double elixir, you can often place a defensive X-Bow in the center of the map.
Different Flavors of Siege
The X-Bow is a high-risk, high-reward machine gun; it costs 6 elixir and requires intense, immediate protection, but it can shred a tower from 100% to 0% in seconds.
The Mortar's blind spot also makes it uniquely difficult to destroy with melee units, as it will simply ignore them and continue firing at the tower while your cheap troops defend it.
| Artillery Type | Stats | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid Fire | 6 Elixir, fast firing, high overall DPS | Requires absolute dedication to defending it; relies on out-cycling enemy tanks for a direct lock-on |
| The Cannon | 4 Elixir, slow firing, splash damage | Can be used defensively to clear swarms, or offensively for slow, consistent chip damage over the whole match |
The Mental Toll of Siege
Furthermore, you must develop thick skin, as opponents will constantly spam angry emotes when facing you.
