Having the strongest defensive building in your deck means absolutely nothing if you do not know exactly where to place it on the map.
Novice players tend to panic and place their defensive buildings directly in front of the incoming threat, often right at the bridge.
The Anti-Tank Center Pull
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.
- Wait until the tank crosses the bridge before placing it.
- Understand the ‘blind spot’ of certain turrets.
- Vary your placement slightly if they have heavy spells.
Advanced Placement Tactics
Your goal is to use your building as a physical meat shield, absorbing the artillery fire while your troops cross the bridge to destroy it.
Place a splash-damage building like a Bomb Tower directly in the center to safely absorb and destroy the endless waves of cheap units.
| Building Category | Best Tile Location |
|---|---|
| Single-Target Tank Killers | The ‘Pocket’ – 3 tiles from the river, 3 tiles from the Princess tower; maximizes pull distance and tower crossfire |
| Splash Damage Sweepers | Directly in the center, or slightly higher up to intercept fast bridge-spam units before they lock onto the tower |
Building the Perfect Fortress
Every single tile has a specific mathematical value depending on the aggro ranges of the units currently on the board.
Control the geography of the battlefield, dictate the pathing of the enemy, and build an impenetrable wall.
