If you do not understand this fundamental interaction triangle, you will constantly lose to players with inferior mechanical skill.
This guide will break down the combat triangle and show you how to exploit it to guarantee positive elixir trades.
Swarm, Splash, Single-Target
The rules of the arena are simple: Swarms overwhelm Single-Target units; Splash Damage obliterates Swarms; and Single-Target units destroy Splash Damage.
Finally, the Wizard (Splash) will incinerate the entire Skeleton Army (Swarm) in a single fiery blast, completing the circle.
Balance is mandatory.Reaction time matters.Use spells to break the rules of the triangle.
Breaking the Triangle
Bait decks are designed entirely around overloading one specific side of the triangle to exhaust the opponent's counters.
You are no longer playing the cards on the screen; you are playing the player behind the screen.
