Hascter’s unstoppable attack
In the semi-finals, Hascter managed to destroy both towers as well as his opponent’s base in a single-driven attack.
He made clever use of the Artilleryman by sending them through the river, allowing them to take down the first tower while the paladins and butchers kept the enemy’s troops busy.
His strategy reminds us that sending troops through the river can be a very useful way to surprise one's enemy when they are busy fighting in the main lane.
Tip: Even if you struggle in the middle lane, don’t forget to check what is arriving through the river!

- 2: Osuten rushing the first tower in less than 30 seconds
During another game for the semi-finale, we witnessed a highly efficient strategy from player Osuten to rush and destroy Taegoo’s tower during the first 30 seconds of the game.
Osuten makes good use of the Sharkkus pathfinder’s ability to travel up and down the hills during the night time and boost his Gliptos Rockslinger with a smooth walk as well as a ramp to make a quick attack to the first tower.
Tip: Rushing a tower can give a good advantage as soon as the beginning of the game, but it may require to sacrifice those troopers, so be sure to be prepared for a counter-attack!

- 3: TaeGoo’s strategy to stop a demolisher
Despite its high cost, Demolisher’s incredibly high health (14150HP !) and devastating attack power against buildings make it a deadly weapon to take down a tower. You may want to destroy it before it reaches your tower and may use all the miracles at your disposal, giving an advantage to your opponent.
On the Semi-finals, player Osuten and player TaeGoo both give us a series of very skillfully combined moves and miracles, one struggling to protect the Demolisher and the other trying to protect his tower.
TaeGoo started by blocking the Demolisher’s path to the tower with a Rainbow Fence, at which Osuten reacts immediately by a combination of Smooth walk and a ramp that gives direct access to his tower, completely undefended. But TaeGoo managed to pick Aidel and throw her to the Demolisher, saving his tower at the very last minute.
Tip: If the demolisher reaches your tower, he will probably destroy it fast. You can use miracles to slow him and use troopers with a Bludgeon kind of attack, which is particularly efficient against his medium armor (Paladin, Wildman, Centurion, Rapanossan Thug or Rapanossan Warrior…)

- 4: Osuten’s miracle combination
Osuten shows us once again that he has mastered the surprise attack coming from the river lane. He also makes a super useful combo of miracles (Smooth walk + Stimulant) that gives a boost to his Gliptos Rockslinger and allows them to destroy the tower before Hascter is able to send troopers to protect it.
Tip: The miracles may be super helpful when it comes to defending yourself, but it can also be wise to save a little of your mana to plan a combo that would boost your attack and surprise your enemy!
