A solid defensive foundation allows you to absorb enemy pushes and counter-attack with devastating force.

Without proper defensive planning, even the strongest aggressive deck will crumble against a well-timed counter-push.

In this guide, we will break down the essential components of building an impenetrable fortress.

The Best Buildings for Defense

A well-placed cannon or tesla tower can completely dismantle a massive incoming wave of enemies.

Conversely, if you face ground swarms frequently, splash damage buildings are your best option.

• Ensure your buildings provide good value.
• Place structures in the center to pull aggro.
• Combine buildings with support troops.

Pulling Enemies Away

This technique allows your defensive structures more time to shoot down the threat without taking damage.

Ice golems, skeletons, or cheap spirits are excellent choices for distracting major threats.

Turning Defense into Offense

When you defend efficiently, your remaining units march towards the enemy side alongside your newly deployed attackers.

If your opponent overcommits and fails, punish them instantly while they are out of resources.
