Establishing dominance in the early game puts immense psychological and economic pressure on your opponent.
Many players passively wait for their opponent to make the first move, leaking precious resources in the process.
Reading the Enemy Deck
Your first few plays should be dedicated entirely to figuring out what kind of deck your opponent is running.
Never commit your main, expensive win-condition card until you know exactly what defensive tools they hold in their hand.
- Never leak energy at the start.
- Note which lane they prefer to attack.
- Figure out if they are playing beatdown or bait.
Applying Instant Pressure
Deploying a fast, punishing unit directly at the bridge the moment the match starts can catch many players off guard.
If your rush fails, you will find yourself at a massive resource deficit, facing an unstoppable counter-attack.
| Opening Strategy | Drawbacks | Potential Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge Spam | Can lose the game instantly | Massive early damage |
| Passive Build-up | Vulnerable to opposite lane pressure | Creates an unstoppable massive push |
Holding Your Advantage
