THE FUN PART

Why you'll love it

  • Changes the route without damaging or launching the troops it moves.
  • A low-cost way to buy time for ranged units and defensive structures.
  • Can redirect both friendly and enemy movement into a better lane.

CAREFUL, CAPTAIN

How it can backfire

  • The two-second warning remains passable and reveals your intention.
  • It deals no damage, and a careless placement can lengthen your own route.

Three tricks worth stealing

  1. 01

    Place it one step ahead of a moving group so the boulder rises as they arrive.

  2. 02

    Use it to hold enemies inside Watchtower range, not merely to make their route look longer.

  3. 03

    Preview where displaced troops can safely slide before committing.
