Why You Must Have Anti-Air in Tower Rush


However, one of the most fatal deck-building errors is neglecting to include a robust, reliable suite of anti-air defenses.

Flying units completely ignore the river, bypass all ground-targeting defensive buildings, and are immune to crucial spells like The Log or Earthquake.
The Aerial Behemoths: Lava Hound and Balloon
The most devastating aerial threat in the game is the dreaded 'LavaLoon' combination: a massive Lava Hound tanking damage while a high-DPS Balloon sneaks in behind it.

To survive this assault, you must have at least two reliable anti-air units in your deck, along with a defensive building that targets air (like the Tesla or Inferno Tower).
Never place your anti-air troops too close together.It is a game-winning move.If they play a Lava Hound in the back, immediately pressure the opposite lane with a ground attack. Building the Perfect Air Defense
For swarm control, the Flying Machine or Dart Goblin provides excellent rapid-fire capabilities while staying safely behind your own tanks.

Furthermore, you must consider air-to-air combat; including your own flying units (like Mega Minion or Phoenix) provides a mobile defense that ground units cannot touch.

When you build a deck, test it specifically against a heavy air composition in friendly battles.

If your towers fall to the Balloon every time, you must redesign your support structure.
