User blog:Positive Elixir Trade/How to use Splash + Tornado

Here is my advice on splash-nado. It's really effective against medium-sized troops.

Spells

 * With Fireball, casting the Tornado right before the Fireball is effective with glass cannons as long as they aren't near the Crown Towers.
 * However, when usig Poison or Rocket, you need to cast the damaging spell before the Tornado to ensure the Tornado can hold the troops in place longer.

Troops and Buildings
Executioner

Knowing the Executioner's axe flies much farther than his actual range, the best way to use this combo is against heavy tank pushes. You'll want to pull the ranged units out of range of the Executioner while keeping the heavy tank in range of the Executioner.

Wizard

The Wizard's range is the epicenter of his splash radius. His splash radius is 1.2 tiles, so he can splash units 6.7 tiles away from himself, even when his range is only 5.5 tiles. The Wizard has less health than the Executioner, but with his higher damage output, he's better at taking out fast pushes with Prince or Elite Barbarians. Pairing the Wizard with an Ice Golem could leave the Wizard barely singed, if not insinged.

Valkyrie

A splash-nado isn't as good with a melee troop like the Valkyrie, but using Freeze with the two cards can be effective. If you don't pack Freeze, be wary that the Valkyrie will die very fast.

Mega Knight

The Mega Knight's spawn stomp works well with Tornado as long as there is no heavy tank and the Princess Tower can assist with defending. Try using The Log with this combo if it's double elixir time to let the Mega Knight kill the glass-cannons faster, preserving his health for a counter-attack.

Bomber

The Bomber is one of the more fragile splash troops in the game. The Giant complements the Bomber very well with the Tornado because he has very high hitpoints and has a good cost.

Bowler

The Bowler is great with the Tornado as well. He can kill most glass cannons in three hits. The bonus points, however, comes from his 1-tile knockback.

Thank you for taking your time reading this and stay splashed!
