The entire combat system is just a highly complex, beautifully animated game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Learning exactly how these three categories interact is the first step toward building a viable deck and predicting enemy movements.
The Fundamental Triangle
The rules of the arena are simple: Swarms overwhelm Single-Target units; Splash Damage obliterates Swarms; and Single-Target units destroy Splash Damage.

If you blindly play a swarm without baiting out their splash damage first, you are throwing your elixir away.
A deck with only swarms will be destroyed by a single splash unit.Reaction time matters.A well-timed Zap can save your Single-Target unit from a Swarm. Breaking the Triangle
If your opponent only has one 'Scissors' (Splash spell) in their deck, and you bring three 'Papers' (Swarms), they literally cannot stop you.

You send your first swarm to force them to use their spell; the second they do, you unleash your primary swarm attack safely.

Developers spend thousands of hours tweaking stats to ensure no single side of the triangle becomes too dominant.

Master the triangle, and the trophies will follow naturally.
