While macro-level strategy and deck building are the foundation of success, the actual execution of a match happens in fractions of a second.
At the highest levels of competitive play, players possess identical card levels and understand the optimal synergies perfectly.

The one-second delay guarantees that the Hog Rider will bypass your building and strike your tower at least once.
