Why You Must Have Anti-Air in Tower Rush

In the arena, the Z-axis is just as dangerous as the X and Y axes, and flying threats operate under completely different tactical rules.

This guide highlights the absolute necessity of anti-air units and how to properly utilize them against the terror of the skies.

The Threat from Above

Because the Lava Hound has an absurdly high hitpoint pool, it demands the immediate attention of all your air-targeting defenders.

You use the defensive building to pull the Lava Hound into the center of the map, absorbing its damage and distracting it.

• Space them out.
• It is a game-winning move.
• If they play a Lava Hound in the back, immediately pressure the opposite lane with a ground attack.

Versatile Anti-Air Options

The Musketeer is the gold standard of versatile defense; she boasts incredible range, high single-target DPS, and survives a standard Fireball.

The Mega Minion, in particular, is the ultimate anti-air assassin, dealing massive melee damage to Balloons while surviving heavy spells easily.

Total Coverage

You must respect the Z-axis and prepare your arsenal accordingly.

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