Mastering Turret Placement in Tower Rush
Having the strongest defensive building in your deck means absolutely nothing if you do not know exactly where to place it on the map.
This is a catastrophic error that allows the enemy to destroy your building instantly with ranged support units from their side of the river.
Mastering the Middle
When the enemy tank crosses the bridge, its AI will calculate that your center turret is closer than your Princess tower, causing it to walk sideways.
Furthermore, any melee support troops following the tank will also be pulled into the center, bunching them up perfectly for your splash-damage spells.
- If placed too early, they will destroy it with spells.
- Protect the blind spot with cheap troops.
- Vary your placement slightly if they have heavy spells.
Advanced Placement Tactics
The rules of placement change entirely when you are facing a ‘Siege’ deck that uses X-Bows or Mortars planted on their side of the river.
Similarly, if the opponent is using ‘Spawner’ buildings (like Goblin Huts) to create endless lane pressure, placement is key to survival.
| Defense Style | Where to Put It |
|---|---|
| Inferno Tower, Cannon | The ‘Pocket’ – 3 tiles from the river, 3 tiles from the Princess tower; maximizes pull distance and tower crossfire |
| Bomb Tower | Directly in the center, or slightly higher up to intercept fast bridge-spam units before they lock onto the tower |
Building the Perfect Fortress
When you master turret placement, your opponent will feel as though their units are fighting through thick mud.
Practice your center pulls until you can do them with your eyes closed.
