Because of the inherent server delay and the deployment time of units, playing purely 'reactively' means your defense will always be a fraction of a second too late.
This article will teach you how to analyze the board state, track rotation, and cast perfect predictive spells.
Reading the Opponent
90% of players will place their defensive building on the exact same tile every single time they defend that specific push.
Once you identify this habit during the first two minutes of the match, you can exploit it ruthlessly in the final minute.
- Humans are creatures of habit under stress.
- Test the waters early.
- If you are predictable, a smart opponent will do this exact same thing to you.
The Math of Prediction
If you know they just reached 10 elixir, and you know their primary win condition is a Balloon, you should hover your anti-air defense immediately.
If they just over-committed 9 elixir on a failed push, you can predict that they will be completely unable to defend a sudden Bridge Spam attack in the opposite lane.
| What They Do | What You Do |
|---|---|
| Opponent plays a Golem in the back | Predict that they will dump all their elixir into supporting it; aggressively push the opposite lane instantly |
| Opponent uses their only Log on your Princess | Predict that they are defenseless against swarms; instantly throw your Goblin Barrel at their tower |
The Pinnacle of Skill
When you successfully pull off a massive, game-winning prediction, it is the most satisfying feeling in the entire game.
Start small; try predicting simple swarm placements with cheap spells before attempting predictive heavy spells.
