How to Play & Match Strategy
Step-by-step game plan to secure victory in the arena
Scouting and Bait Control
Start passively by splitting Rascals in the back or cycling Barbarian Barrel at the bridge if forced to move first. Test their small spell responses with an early Skeleton Barrel. Never drop an aggressive Mortar blind at the bridge until you know their tank and direct building answers.
Evolution Siege Locks
Anchor defensive Evo Mortars four tiles from the river while sending Skeleton Barrel into the opposite lane to divide their elixir. Drop Cannon Cart just ahead of the Mortar to shred incoming mini-tanks and absorb high-damage hits. Trigger Hero Ice Wizard abilities to freeze counter-pushes inside your kill-zone.
Dual-Lane Siege and Spell Cycle
Maintain an active Mortar on the board at all times to lock down the arena. Split Minions and Rascals across both bridges to overload ground counters while sending repeated Skeleton Barrel waves. Close narrow health gaps by cycling Fireballs onto their princess tower whenever they cluster support units nearby.
Pull beatdown tanks into the center using Mortar placed 4 tiles from the river and 3 tiles from the weak tower. Place Hero Ice Wizard and Minions spread wide to avoid giving spell value to opponent Fireballs or Poisons. Use Rascal Boy to absorb charges while the Rascal Girls and Cannon Cart melt threatening tanks from deep range.
Against Earthquake and Archer Queen, stop playing offensive Mortars at the bridge. Shift Mortar to a purely defensive placement in the center to pull tanks, and punish Earthquake users by aggressively floating Skeleton Barrel and Cannon Cart down opposite lanes when their elixir dips. Pre-place Barbarian Barrel to snipe the Queen once she pops her cloak.
Hero Ice Wizard slows massive incoming pushes to a crawl, letting the Mortar blind spot snipe support troops safely from distance. Rascals shield the frail Skeleton Barrel by soaking spells like The Log and Arrows, guaranteeing maximum skeleton swarm value on the tower.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Evo Mortar Skeleton Barrel Bait
What is the best opening play with this deck?
Split Rascals behind your King Tower or cycle a neutral Barbarian Barrel. If neither is available, send a naked Skeleton Barrel to scout their air defense and light spells without overcommitting.
How do you beat Earthquake decks?
Never place Mortar at the river for offense against Earthquake. Use Mortar strictly in a deep center position as a defensive distraction, and rely on opposite-lane Skeleton Barrel and Cannon Cart counter-pushes for tower damage.
When should you drop the Evo Mortar?
Deploy Evo Mortar when you have a 2+ elixir lead and your opponent's tank is out of hand. Protect it with Cannon Cart or Rascal Boy at the bridge to guarantee repeated goblin projectile hits on the enemy tower.
