There is nothing more panic-inducing than seeing the opponent drop their entire hand at the bridge the second the match starts.
However, when properly identified and countered, a failed rush leaves the attacker completely defenseless.
Maintaining Composure
Take a deep breath, analyze the specific units they deployed, and select the optimal counter from your hand.
If they used a fast, single-target heavy hitter, deploying a cheap distraction unit is the correct play.

This technique, known as kiting or pulling, buys your towers precious time to shoot them down safely.
Once the rushing units are locked onto your distraction, you can deploy your own damage dealers safely behind them.
