2.3: Against Rushes in General | [Back to the WarGuide]
Alot of people like to do rushes in games, some sucessful, some not. One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from early game rushes, is to use a unit with an area attack. If it is early in the game, this is mainly your monarch. Bring your monarch close to the enemy's, and retreat anyother units you may have fighting, but you'll need them again soon, so don't send them too far. The enemy will almost immediatly start attacking your monarch, so quickly do his/her Wave attack (Fire, Earth, Air, or Water depending on your race). Retreat your monarch, and bring in all available units to fend off the unwanted pests. This also works good if you have more advanced units available, such as the Acolyte or Weather Witch. Also, if you suspect an early game rush, I suggest building as many units as you can, and less towers. Towers are more costly, non-mobile, and easier to hit than ground units, so build your defence towers later.
