Predicting The Enemy In Tower Rush

To ascend to the highest ranks of the competitive ladder, you must transition from reacting to what the opponent IS doing, to predicting what they ARE GOING to do.


This article will teach you how to analyze the board state, track rotation, and cast perfect predictive spells.

Pattern Recognition and Human Nature

90% of players will place their defensive building on the exact same tile every single time they defend that specific push.


When you launch your final Hog Rider, you don't wait to see the Cannon; you instantly cast a predictive Fireball on the exact tile they have used all game.

Humans are creatures of habit under stress.Test the waters early.If you are predictable, a smart opponent will do this exact same thing to you.
Tracking Elixir and Predicting Aggression

If you know they just reached 10 elixir, and you know their primary win condition is a Balloon, you should hover your anti-air defense immediately.


Because you predicted the timing of their attack, your reaction time is effectively zero; your defense is deploying the exact moment their Balloon appears on the screen.

What They DoWhat You DoOpponent plays a Golem in the backPredict that they will dump all their elixir into supporting it; aggressively push the opposite lane instantlyOpponent uses their only Log on your PrincessPredict that they are defenseless against swarms; instantly throw your Goblin Barrel at their tower
The Grandmaster Move

When you successfully pull off a massive, game-winning prediction, it is the most satisfying feeling in the entire game.


Start small; try predicting simple swarm placements with cheap spells before attempting predictive heavy spells.
