While Beatdown relies on overwhelming force and Cycle relies on pure speed, Bait relies on intentionally frustrating the opponent into making a fatal mistake.
If you bring a Goblin Gang, a Princess, and a Goblin Barrel, the opponent desperately needs a cheap spell (like The Log) to deal with all of them.
The Art of the Bait
They are forced to use their Log to kill her. Should you loved this short article and you would love to receive more details relating to tower rush assure visit our webpage. The exact millisecond you see that Log roll across the screen, you deploy your true win condition: the Goblin Barrel.
Because their Log is now out of rotation, the Goblin Barrel lands directly on their tower and deals massive damage before they can cycle back to another counter.
It is a waste of 3 elixir and gives them a massive advantage.Place her behind your King tower to defend a push, then let her walk to the bridge to become bait.Protect your bait until it works.
Mixing Up Placements
When this happens, you must employ the 'Tricky Barrel'—intentionally placing the Barrel a few tiles deep behind the enemy tower rather than directly on top of it.
This mind game is incredibly risky; if you throw a deep Barrel and they DO NOT use a spell, the tower will kill the goblins much faster due to the increased walking distance.

The Frustration Factor
When executed perfectly, the opponent will feel like they never have the right cards in their hand at the right time.
The bait is set; wait for them to bite.
