Mastering Turret Placement In Tower Rush

In the highly constrained, grid-based arenas of modern rush games, a single tile of misplacement can cost you the entire match.


This guide will teach you the mathematical secrets of the 'kill zone' and how to maximize the lifespan of your turrets.

Mastering the Middle

When the enemy tank crosses the bridge, its AI will calculate that your center turret is closer than your Princess tower, causing it to walk sideways.


Furthermore, any melee support troops following the tank will also be pulled into the center, bunching them up perfectly for your splash-damage spells.

Place the turret as high and far away from your Princess tower as possible.You have a fraction of a second to place the building before it locks onto the tower.Save the expensive Inferno Towers for the massive, slow pushes.
Defending Against Siege and Spawners

The rules of placement change entirely when you are facing a 'Siege' deck that uses X-Bows or Mortars planted on their side of the river.


Similarly, if the opponent is using 'Spawner' buildings (like Goblin Huts) to create endless lane pressure, placement is key to survival.

Geometrical Dominance

When you master turret placement, your opponent will feel as though their units are fighting through thick mud.


Practice your center pulls until you can do them with your eyes closed.
