Q & A

What is the importance of activating the King Tower in Log Bait matchups?

Activating the King Tower early in a Log Bait matchup is crucial because it provides extra damage to defending units like Goblin Barrel, making it easier to manage pressure and defend against future pushes.

Why did the player choose to use an Inferno Tower instead of Goblin Gang or a Log in the first match?

The player chose Inferno Tower to defend against the opponent's Elixir Collector and other threats. Using Goblin Gang or a Log would have overcommitted, leaving them vulnerable, especially against a deck with strong counterplay.

What was confusing about the opponent’s deck in the first match?

The player was confused because the opponent never used their Log despite having it available in their cycle. This unexpected behavior made it difficult to predict the opponent's strategy.

What role does the Log play in a Log Bait deck, and why is its absence problematic?

The Log is a key card in Log Bait decks as it deals with Goblin Barrels and Goblin Gang efficiently. Its absence makes it harder for the opponent to defend against swarm units, leaving them vulnerable to taking damage.

How does the player adjust to the opponent’s use of Bandit and Princess in the second match?

In the second match, the player counters the Bandit with a Knight and the Princess with a Goblin Gang or Ice Spirit, while also using Princess to predict and counter the opponent’s own Princess.

The player focused on defense first, using Princess and Goblin Gang to handle the opponent’s pressure. Then, they capitalized on the opponent’s cycle by attacking with a Goblin Barrel on the opposite side to avoid direct competition for damage.

Why did the player feel that the opponent’s Rocket cycle was the key to their loss in the second match?

What lesson does the player suggest viewers learn from the second match?

The player emphasizes the importance of managing your cycle and defense, particularly against Rocket cycle decks. Knowing when to pressure and when to defend is critical to gaining the upper hand in Log Bait matchups.

How does the player use Goblin Gang to support their Knight and handle the opponent’s Dark Prince?

The player places the Goblin Gang to distract and deal damage to the Dark Prince while their Knight handles the Dark Prince’s charge. This combination allows them to control the field and prevent significant damage from the opponent.

What did the player mean by 'keeping pressure' in the second match?
