Counter-pushing coach
The cheapest attack in the game is the one built from troops that just finished defending.
Updated
When your defenders survive, they walk forward. Adding a little support behind them makes an attack the opponent has to answer, and you only paid a fraction of its value.
Strong decks are built around this: defend cheaply, then let the survivors become the push.
What usually goes wrong
- Letting survivors walk aloneA lone defender walking into a full-health tower dies for nothing. Support it or leave it at home.
- Over-committing behind itDumping your whole bar behind a counter-push leaves nothing for the opponent's reply.
- Defending too far forwardDefenders placed at the bridge die before they can push. Defend deeper and they arrive with more health.

What Mercina looks for in your match
- Defences that left strong troops alive that you never supported.
- Counter-pushes that over-committed and left you open on the other lane.

A plan for your next match
- 01After each defence, check what survived before playing anything new.
- 02Support survivors with one card, not three.
- 03Defend a tile or two deeper so your defenders arrive healthier.

Questions
Which decks rely most on counter-pushing?
Beatdown and control decks lean on it heavily, but every deck benefits from turning surviving defenders into pressure.

Defence coach
Good defence isn't stopping everything. It's stopping it cheaply, in the right place, at the right moment.

Elixir trades coach
Every interaction is a trade. Win enough small ones and the big push takes care of itself.
Deck
Golem Beatdown coach
Beatdown trades tower health early for one push the opponent can't stop. Timing is everything.
Deck
PEKKA Bridge Spam coach
Bridge Spam plays fast cards at the bridge to punish opponents who are low on elixir. PEKKA holds the defence.
