The Economy of Aggression

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

• If you are up by 4, launch your win condition immediately.

Practicing the Count

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

When they drop a heavy card, like a P.E.K.K.A (7 elixir), tell yourself "They are now Low Elixir."
