Top Mistakes New Players Make in Tower Rush and How to Avoid Them

Entering the highly competitive world of arena battlers for the first time can be an overwhelming experience.

Once you face opponents who understand basic resource management, those cheap tricks will be punished mercilessly.

The Sin of Over-Capping

The single most destructive mistake a new player can make is sitting at ten energy while doing absolutely nothing.

Even if that skeleton or spirit does zero damage, cycling it is better than wasting the energy entirely.

• Always make a play before capping out.
• Cycle cheap cards if you have no good moves.
• Start a slow push if you are full.

Panicking Over Small Damage

This is a massive economic blunder; you just spent five energy to stop something the tower would have killed anyway.

Taking a few hundred points of damage is completely acceptable if it allows you to build a massive, unstoppable counter-attack.

Playing in a Vacuum

You cannot win consistently if you just spam your win condition without considering if they have their counter ready.

Start small: just try to remember if they have used their main heavy spell recently.
