If you are playing a heavy, expensive deck, this constant, rapid-fire pressure can completely overwhelm your reaction time and destroy your rotation.

To defeat them, you must establish an impenetrable defensive rhythm and learn to absorb minor chip damage to build a massive counter-offensive.

Your sole objective during single elixir is simply survival; keep your towers above 50% health and do not allow them to build a massive lead.

You can now afford to drop your massive 8-elixir tank in the back and still have plenty of elixir to defend their desperate Bridge Spam attempts on the opposite lane.

Speed is an illusion if it crashes into an unmovable object.
