However, there is one highly specialized, deeply controversial archetype that completely ignores this fundamental rule: the Siege deck.
Playing Siege requires an entirely different skill set than standard beatdown or cycle decks; it demands absolute geometric precision and flawless defensive mechanics.
Protecting the Asset
Your sole objective is to protect that X-Bow at all costs; if it locks onto the enemy tower for even five seconds, the game is practically won.

You use these cheap troops as meat shields, physically blocking enemy tanks and assassins from ever touching your precious artillery.
- Patience is mandatory.
- Pre-place defensive buildings (like a Tesla) before playing the X-Bow.
- If you know they have a Golem in hand, do not play the X-Bow; they will just use the Golem to block the shots.
Different Flavors of Siege
X-Bow decks are usually built around fast cycling, aiming to out-pace the opponent's heavy tanks so the X-Bow has a clear line of sight.
Because it is cheaper, it is less punishing if it gets destroyed, making Mortar decks slightly more forgiving and versatile.
| The Building | Cost and Speed | Best Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid Fire | 6 Elixir, fast firing, high overall DPS | Requires absolute dedication to defending it; relies on out-cycling enemy tanks for a direct lock-on |
| The Mortar | 4 Elixir, slow firing, splash damage | Can be used defensively to clear swarms, or offensively for slow, consistent chip damage over the whole match |
The Mental Toll of Siege
Playing a Siege deck is incredibly stressful; every match feels like a frantic puzzle of perfect placements and micro-interactions.
