Adapting Mid-Match In Tower Rush

However, the best players in the world do not simply accept defeat when faced with a bad matchup; they adapt their strategy on the fly.


This article explores the art of reading the opponent, analyzing the board state, and changing your entire game plan in the middle of a live match.

Identifying the Hard Counter

For example, if you are playing a heavy Golem beatdown deck, and the opponent reveals they have an Inferno Tower, an Executioner, and a Tornado.


This often involves completely abandoning offense and focusing entirely on flawless defense, hoping to punish a massive mistake by the opponent or stall for a draw.

Pay close attention to their first three cards.Holding onto a useless 8-elixir card is better than feeding them positive trades.Sometimes, you can out-cycle their specific counter by playing your win condition faster than they can draw their defense.
Creative Card Usage

If you are playing that Golem deck and the Golem is useless, perhaps your Night Witch or Baby Dragon can become your primary attackers.


This also applies to defense; if they have a massive push approaching and your primary defensive building is out of rotation, you must improvise.

Never Surrender

Never assume a match is over just because the opening hand was terrible.


Change the rules of the engagement, confuse the opponent, and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
