The concept is devilishly simple: fill your deck with multiple fragile, high-damage swarm units that all share the exact same weakness.
If you bring a Goblin Gang, a Princess, and a Goblin Barrel, the opponent desperately needs a cheap spell (like The Log) to deal with all of them.
Forcing the Error
They are forced to use their Log to kill her. Here's more info on tower rush check out our site. The exact millisecond you see that Log roll across the screen, you deploy your true win condition: the Goblin Barrel.
To master this deck, you must become hyper-aware of the opponent's hand, counting their cards to ensure you only throw the Barrel when it is perfectly safe.
- It is a waste of 3 elixir and gives them a massive advantage.
- Double value.
- If they refuse to Log the Princess and use troops instead, defend the troops and keep the Princess alive.
Mixing Up Placements
When this happens, you must employ the 'Tricky Barrel'—intentionally placing the Barrel a few tiles deep behind the enemy tower rather than directly on top of it.
It is a high-stakes game of poker, played entirely with goblin projectiles.
| Bait Unit | Primary Role | Desired Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Range Chip | Placed at the bridge to force an immediate response from the opponent | Forces the opponent to use The Log or Arrows, clearing the path for the main attack |
| Ground Control | Used defensively to surround and kill mini-tanks like the Hog Rider | Absorbs the enemy spell on defense, allowing a safe counter-push |
The Mental Victory
When executed perfectly, the opponent will feel like they never have the right cards in their hand at the right time.
The bait is set; wait for them to bite.
