Beneath the vibrant animations and chaotic battles of every arena game lies a rigid, unyielding economic system.
Every time you place a card, you are making a financial transaction, betting your current energy against the opponent's available energy.
Generation Rates and 'Leaking'
The only way one player can mathematically gain an advantage is if the other player 'leaks' elixir by sitting at the maximum cap of 10.
This is why top players are constantly 'cycling' cheap cards in the back of the arena; they are ensuring the generation timer never stops ticking.
- Protect them fiercely.
- Playing first reveals your deck, but waiting too long risks leaking.
- Tracking generation is just as important as tracking spending.
Calculating Positive Trades
The entire goal of defensive play is to execute 'positive elixir trades', where you spend less energy to destroy a push than the opponent spent to create it.
Conversely, if you panic and use a Rocket (6 elixir) to kill a Princess (3 elixir), you have suffered a -3 negative trade.
| Economic Strategy | The Math |
|---|---|
| Pulling Aggro | Using a 1-elixir Skeleton to pull a 4-elixir Mini P.E.K. If you have any concerns with regards to wherever and how to use tower rush, you can make contact with us at our internet site. K.A across the map until both Princess towers shoot it to death; +3 profit |
| Multi-Targeting | Waiting until the opponent places three different support troops near their tower before dropping the Rocket, destroying 12 elixir with 6; +6 profit |
Playing the Math
To become a Grandmaster, you must develop a secondary mental process that constantly runs the math in the background of your mind.
Master the economy, and you master the game.
