Feel like destroying some castles today? Well you’re in luck! In Castle Crush you'll assemble a battle deck of warriors, monsters and spells to take into combat against players from around the world.
Be warned – it won’t be easy, there are millions of warriors like you online trying to eliminate hostile troops and dominate. To put you a step ahead of the others, here are a few tips to help you lead the charge. Let’s go!
1. The aim of the game
The main objective of this epic strategy game is to crush your opponent’s castle using cards that deploy various troops. For this, you will need a strategy, concentration and of course, a pinch of luck.
2. The basics
Before going into battle, let’s review the home screen commands. On the left side are your chests. These chests unlock at various time intervals, showering you with combinations of cards, coins and gems.
You also have a Victory Chest, which you can unlock every eight wins, but only once a day. Free chests unlock roughly every 3 1/2 hours.
The key to all of this, especially when starting out, is to try to battle as often as you can to get a good collection of chests to unlock. The more chests you get, the more cards, gold and gems you’ll get, which you can use to upgrade your cards to higher levels.
The home screen also has a link to your deck of cards, where you assemble your 14 favourite warriors out of over 40 types available.
3. Build the ideal deck
The key to building the perfect deck is figuring out which cards work best for you. Read each card’s description and try them out in battle. There are over 40, each with unique abilities, so have some fun trying them all until you have the right mix of cards.
You’ll want both melee and long-range attackers, cards with high health (your “meat shields”), cards who are fast and can catch your enemy off-guard and lastly a spell or two that has an instant impact on the battlefield.
4. Plan upgrades in advance
As you play, start figuring out which cards you want to upgrade. Early on, cards are cheap to upgrade, so it’s a no-brainer to do them all. But at higher levels, the cost goes up. Plan the order of your upgrades in advance, then save up your gold and focus on upgrading one card at time – you'll maximise your deck and reach new trophy levels!
5. Win battles!
Now let's get to action! When you “tap” battle, you'll be paired up against someone at a similar level to you. The battlefield consists of three lanes where you can drag and drop your cards. To get it right, it's crucial to understand when and where your warriors should be thrown into the field, since empty lanes can make your castle very vulnerable.
The rules are dead simple. Destroy your opponent’s castle to win. However, to win you’ve got to manage your Mana. The little energy meter ticking up during battle, your Mana Meter, governs how you deploy cards in the game. The capacity of your Mana Meter increases as the battle wages on, making battles more interesting the longer they go. You’ll want to gather enough Mana to create a good push against your enemy.
We like to drop melee or high health troops to lead the charge (think Golem, Dwarf, Warrior), followed by ranged or splash troops (like Pirate, Archers and Mage) and use spells as back-up as we push toward our opponent’s castle. Don’t forget to defend incoming attacks and keep a watchful eye on all three lanes during battle.
Wins are awarded with trophies and by accumulating them, you advance in the game, releasing new castles for battle. To make it to the final stage, the Superb Castle, requires no less than 2200 trophies. Be sure to stock up on lots of ammo!
6. Join a clan
Once you hit Level 3, join a clan. You’ll meet new players, share tips, donate and request cards to speed up your upgrades – you’ll now have a common goal: competing to be the top in the world.
With these tips, you’re ready to lead your kingdom in this exciting competition set with excellent graphics and immersive and intuitive gameplay.
