How to Play & Match Strategy
Step-by-step game plan to secure victory in the arena
Scouting & Patient Setup
Start by cycling Goblin Gang split behind the King Tower or sending a naked Skeleton Barrel to identify the opponent's small spells. Never drop an aggressive Mortar at the bridge blind; place it 4 tiles from the river as a defensive anchor if they push. Rely on Barbarian Barrel to clean ground swarms and bank elixir until their defensive counters are tracked.
Evolution Siege & Dual-Lane Splits
Drop Evo Mortar at the bridge only after baiting out heavy responses, using Cannon Cart or Rascals in front to absorb damage. Send Evo Skeleton Barrel down the opposite lane when they commit heavy elixir to defend the Mortar lock. Trigger Hero Ice Wizard's ability to freeze supporting counters while your siege pressure dismantles their tower.
Overtime Spell Cycling
Switch into defensive Mortar placements in the center to pull tanks into the dual-tower kill-zone. Chip down low-health towers by chaining Fireball and Barbarian Barrel whenever the opponent clusters troops near their Crown Tower. Keep a relentless 3-card cycle active by keeping Hero Ice Wizard on the board while constantly rotating Skeleton Barrel.
Anchor the center with Mortar placed 3-4 tiles from the river, pulling giants and bridge runners into both Princess Towers. Deploy Hero Ice Wizard and Cannon Cart offset from the tower to maintain anti-spell spacing against Fireball or Poison. Use Rascals to absorb heavy single-target hits while Goblin Gang shreds tanks from behind.
Against Earthquake, shift Mortar purely into an offensive bridge threat rather than planting it early, forcing the opponent to choose between defending or getting clipped. When facing Archer Queen, do not let her lock onto your towers; use Fireball knockback combined with Barbarian Barrel to wipe her out before she triggers invisibility. Bait Royal Delivery using Goblin Gang before sending your Evo Skeleton Barrel.
Rascals paired with Skeleton Barrel create a devastating bait sequence because the Rascal Boy tanks Crown Tower fire while the barrel pops directly overhead. Mortar backed by Hero Ice Wizard halts counter-pushes in their tracks, as the slowing aura traps attacking tanks inside the Mortar's blind spot while your artillery hammers the enemy Crown Tower.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Evo Mortar Skeleton Barrel Siege
What is the optimal opening play with this deck?
Split Goblin Gang behind your King Tower or send a solitary Skeleton Barrel at the bridge. This scouts the opponent's spell cycle without putting you at an elixir deficit.
How do you beat Earthquake and Archer Queen matchups?
Stop playing Mortar in standard defensive center tiles against Earthquake; deploy it only at the river when their Earthquake is out of hand. Deal with Archer Queen immediately by using Fireball to break her stance and rolling a Barbarian Barrel to finish her off before she activates her ability.
When should you play Evo Mortar versus Evo Skeleton Barrel?
Deploy Evo Mortar when you have a solid elixir lead and ground units like Cannon Cart to shield it. Save Evo Skeleton Barrel for opposite-lane punishment the moment your opponent overspends to contest your Mortar.
