In recent years, the tower rush genre has seen an explosion of creativity, fundamentally altering how matches are played.
We have moved far beyond the simple days of dropping a heavy tank at the bridge and hoping it connects with the tower.
Controllable Units
For years, every unit in the game was a 'fire and forget' missile; once deployed, the AI took complete control.
This single addition exponentially increased the skill ceiling of the game, rewarding players with lightning-fast reflexes.

Mid-Match Transformations
Another massive recent innovation is the concept of 'Card Evolutions', where standard units gain new powers after being played multiple times.
You must know exactly when the opponent is holding an Evolved unit, as treating it like the standard version will result in a lost tower.
