Tracking Elixir in Tower Rush

The absolute core fundamental skill that separates the elite from the casuals is the ability to perfectly track the opponent’s elixir.

This article will break down exactly why counting elixir is mandatory and how you can train your brain to do it automatically.

The Elixir Advantage

Every single aggressive action you take in the arena should be dictated primarily by the opponent’s current bank of elixir.

This situation—having significantly more energy than the opponent—is known as an ‘Elixir Advantage’, and creating it is the primary goal of the game.

• If they have 4 elixir, your tower is safe from a 6-elixir Rocket for at least 6 seconds.
• Counting elixir tells you if it’s safe to place your pump.
• If you know they have zero elixir, you don’t need to spend 4 elixir to defend a dying 1-elixir skeleton.

How to Train the Skill

Start by simply categorizing the opponent into three states: ‘High Elixir’ (7-10), ‘Medium Elixir’ (4-6), and ‘Low Elixir’ (0-3).

As you get comfortable with this broad tracking, start actually doing the math: “They started at 10, played a Golem (8), so they are at 2, plus two seconds of generation, they are at 3.”

Mastering the Economy

Tower health is a deceptive metric; you can have full tower health and still be losing the game if you are down 5 elixir.

Count the drops, manage your economy, and crush the mathematically inferior.
