“Arrows pepper a large area, damaging all enemies hit. Reduced damage to Crown Towers.”
The Arrows card is unlocked from the Training Camp(Tutorial). It is an area damage spell with a very wide radius and low-moderate damage that quickly launches three volleys in a row. An Arrows card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy[]
- Arrows are extremely effective against large swarms of low health troops such as the Minion Horde or Goblin Gang. They cost 1 more Elixir than Zap, but they have a larger area of effect and also deal more damage, being able to fully defeat Minions up to five levels higher than themselves.
- The spell can be used to finish off buildings that are extremely low on hitpoints. However, this is generally discouraged unless another vulnerable unit is played in the area so that it isn't a negative Elixir and value trade.
- Even though Arrows has a short but noticeable travel time, its large area of effect means it is unlikely to completely miss any target. The separate volleys give the spell a slight area denial effect and allow the spell to be played preemptively to instantly destroy any swarms played, making it useful in supporting single-targeting units like the Prince or Mini P.E.K.K.A..
- Arrows synergize well with Graveyard on offense. The damage of all three waves is able to defeat Guards, Archers, or Minions by itself for 1 less Elixir than a Poison spell, which gives the player more Elixir to spare while allowing more Skeletons to stay alive and deal damage to the tower. Generally, the player should deploy Arrows reactively to these units, as the opponent might take note of this and deploy their troops after the Arrow waves.
- Arrows are a neutral but very reliable counter to a Goblin Barrel. When the opponent throws the Goblin Barrel, the player should fire their Arrows right when or slightly before the Goblins spawn, and they will be instantly destroyed. Arrows are particularly useful versus opponents who like to mix up their Goblin Barrel placements in an attempt to make the defender miss with their spell; the Arrows' radius denies all realistic fake-out attempts.
- An effective tactic is to deploy less valuable swarm cards to bait an opponent into using their Arrows on them, and then deploying more threatening swarm cards like the Goblin Barrel or Minion Horde when the spell is out of their hand. However, if the opponent has other area damage spells or troops, such as the Zap, Fireball, or Wizard, this may simply end up feeding them several positive Elixir trades, so these counters should also be baited out or the player should only deploy their more threatening swarms when the opponent does not have enough Elixir to deploy a counter.
- This card is very similar to The Log in function with certain differences. While the Arrows card is more expensive, it has the ability to damage air troops and hits a larger area. However, Arrows doesn't have the knockback or the unique rectangular radius that The Log does.
- A full burst of Arrows eliminates a Princess or Dart Goblin 2 level higher and a Bomber, a Firecracker, Archers and Wall Breakers up to 1 level higher, as well as equally leveled Guards. Two volleys eliminate Minions, Spear Goblins, Goblins, and all of the Spirit cards, while a single volley is enough to take out Skeletons and Bats.
- Arrows is a hard counter against Clone. It's multiple attacking waves will wipe out the cloned units as well as any possible death spawn from them, though certain Cloned Troops will avoid being defeated, such as the Skeleton Barrel, which has a spawn delay after its defeated, so the Skeletons still need to be addressed.
- Arrows can be used to defeat the Lava Pups spawned from a Lava Hound or the Elixir Blobs spawned from an Elixir Golem. For the latter, it will allow the user to immediately claim the Elixir be defeating all of the Elixir Blobs at once, while for the former, it will make addressing a tanking unit much easier without the Lava Pups being tanked for. In the case of the Lava Pups, the first wave can be used on a low health Lava Hound, because the Lava Pups can be defeated in 2 of the 3 waves.
- Arrows may cripple some other fragile units like Skeleton Dragons, Zappies, Mother Witch, and the Magic Archer. While it will not defeat them alone, it will bring them low enough so that using other spells like Zap will finish them off. However, this results in a negative Elixir trade, so make sure that you hit additional units with them with either spell.
