Why King Tower Level Matters in Tower Rush

It is incredibly satisfying to see the damage numbers of your favorite troop increase, knowing it will hit the enemy tower slightly harder.

The level of your King Tower dictates the maximum hitpoints and the damage-per-second of all three of your defensive structures (the two Princess towers and the central King tower).
Why the Numbers Matter
However, if your Princess tower is only level 10, it will deal slightly less damage per shot, requiring FOUR shots to kill that same level 11 Goblin.

This single extra shot changes everything. If you have any questions regarding exactly where and how to use tower rush, you can contact us at our own webpage. If a Goblin Barrel lands on your level 10 tower, those goblins will survive significantly longer, resulting in hundreds of extra points of chip damage over the course of the match.
You cannot rely on your towers to clean up mistakes; you must defend everything manually with troops.Spend your excess gold on leveling level 1 cards to level 6.If you activate your King early with a Tornado, a higher-level King provides massive defensive DPS for the rest of the game. The Psychological Advantage
This often induces a sense of 'ladder anxiety' in the opponent, causing them to play overly aggressively to try and overcome the mathematical deficit, leading to fatal mistakes.

Furthermore, a higher King level allows you to play much more relaxed and patiently.

It should be an active goal; you should be constantly calculating the fastest, cheapest way to acquire the experience points needed for the next level.

Base health is the ultimate safety net.
