You've already downloaded Supercell's brand new Rush Wars, and now you want to get better and get five big stars on each and every single stage you fight on. I completely understand I assure you, and that's why we have this guide you're reading.

As of the time of writing, Rush Wars is in soft launch in certain territories around the world, so if you want to get involved you should check out our article on how to play Rush Wars no matter where you are.

Once that's done, it's time to win. There are three bases to destroy in each stage, and it'll be tough to take down them all. One is simple, but all three? Time to get to work.

You'll be using a variety of unique units that work at different ranges and have different abilities, and placing them in the correct places and using the right units will be what carries you to victory. As we shall detail right here…

Everyone's different

Learning how your units work and how best to implement them will literally what acts as the deciding force that wins battles for you.

When you first earn units, feel free to just use and test them. See what their attacks are like, what range they work from, whether their attacks are explosive or more simple bullets, that kind of thing.

Once you understand your units, you'll understand how they will work best when throwing them into battle, and how to place and construct your assault in order to win. We'll give you a couple of hints for that, too.

When you get new units, feel free to just spend a couple of games using them and learning how they operate in certain situations and take your time.

Once you understand how they work, it's time to construct the best possible team, prepared to deal with a great variety of foes that you will have to tackle. That means keep around Pitcher or Bazooka for those nasty defensive units.

1
Shields in the front

The shield soldiers are beautiful, loyal boys who will happily protect the team from certain chaos.

They get to take a few hits before dropping their shields, and then they have a second, small, health bar which they will use while charging at the nearest enemy.

Essentially, they make amazing distractions while your more capable and powerful units chip away at the health of bases and defensive units.

2
Two paths to take

Many stages will give you two paths to tackle, splitting your forces, and splitting your strategy. This is why your team should be varied and ready to tackle multiple challenges.

Pick the least defended path first, and then place just enough units to take care of themselves. The rest of your units can go down the second, and hopefully smash through any large enemies on the way.

Sometimes each path can appear equally stressful, and although your damage output will be more focused if your clump your units together, they can also all get hit together by explosives and defensive units. Not a good idea.

3
Red barrel explosions

Red barrels can be used to set of explosive chain reactions that can take enemies down, and although they rarely obliterate enemies of defensive units, they can offer a small damage boost that will make things much easier.

You can drop certain airdrops onto the battlefield, and these are often a great way to take down any enemies that are grouped near battles before you even have to approach them.

Just make sure you don't filter your own team down a hallway with red barrels that defensive units will set off, blowing you up with them. It never ends well…
