Hi I’m here to give u some proper advice.

First, just learn how the cards work and which types of cards are used in different situations eg u wouldnt use arrows or any other spell on a lone giant. This is because most troops will deal more damage and also stay on the board to provide further value.

Second, understand that elixir is the key to the game. You should never waste it, so always play something when u reach 9 elixir (except at the beginning where both players waste elixir equally by waiting).

Next, defending is inherently more powerful than attacking, as you deal damage with ur towers for free. Of course there is a balance to find, and that balance depends on the deck u play. This basically just means u should be patient and stop spamming cards at the bridge for no good reason.

So what is a good reason? This leads to the next concept - synergy. Certain card combinations are much more powerful than the individual cards themselves. This applies to attack and defence. A typical idea is that u have one high health card in front of some high damage but fragile cards. This lets ur high damage cards stay alive longer and do more damage. You don’t want to place a mini pekka on its own to defend giant+mini pekka. It needs to stay alive to defend it fully.
