However, there is one spell that completely breaks the established rules of the game, manipulating the physical positioning of enemy troops rather than just their hitpoints: the Tornado.
In the hands of a novice, it is a confusing, low-damage waste of 3 elixir that often accidentally pulls enemy troops closer to their own tower.
The Ultimate Defensive Mechanic: King Tower Activation
The single most important use of the Tornado—and the primary reason it is included in competitive decks—is the 'King Tower Activation'.
Having the King's massive cannon firing alongside your Princess towers provides an overwhelming defensive advantage, completely ruining the opponent's ability to deal chip damage for the next three minutes.
- Tornado completely hard-counters the Miner.
- You spent 3 elixir to completely nullify their 4-elixir Hog Rider AND gained a permanent defensive buff.
- Once the King is active, you can pull enemy units to the absolute center of the map, allowing all THREE of your towers to shoot them simultaneously.
Clumping and Splash Damage Synergy
This mechanic synergizes obscenely well with any troop that deals splash damage (Area of Effect).
You drop your Executioner, and the exact second he throws his massive axe, you cast Tornado in the center of their push.
| The Splash Unit | Execution | The Target |
|---|---|---|
| Executioner / Bowler | Drags all units into a perfect straight line to maximize the linear splash damage of the projectile | Massive Beatdown pushes (Golem + Support troops) |
| Ice Wizard | Groups units together so the Ice Wizard's splash attack slows the movement and attack speed of the entire enemy army | Bridge Spam or fast swarm attacks |
Mastering the Geometry
A perfect Tornado will completely break the opponent's will to play.
