Defeating Golem Decks in Tower Rush

For many casual players, seeing the opponent casually drop a massive, 8-elixir Golem in the absolute back of the arena induces a feeling of sheer, paralyzing dread.

However, the strategy has massive, glaring weaknesses in its early stages that can be brutally exploited.

Opposite Lane Pressure

This is your window of opportunity, and you must exploit it with absolute, ruthless aggression.

If they spend elixir defending your opposite-lane rush, they will have absolutely no elixir left to put support troops (like a Night Witch or Baby Dragon) behind their Golem, rendering the massive tank completely harmless and easy to kill.

• You must play a card that threatens to take the tower.
• If you successfully take their opposite tower during the punish, you can often afford to completely sacrifice your own tower to the Golem to reset the board state.
• Beatdown players expect the punish.

Dismantling the Deathball

If you fail to punish the Golem drop, or the game is in Double Elixir, you will eventually have to defend a fully supported push at your bridge.

The Golem will walk toward the building in the center, creating a massive physical gap between it and the support troops following it.

Do Not Fear the Rock

Defeating a Golem deck requires absolute discipline and the courage to ignore a massive threat to secure an advantage elsewhere.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
