As a team, there are various goals you should focus on: ScoutFind the enemy towns. Find out what races the players have chosen and where each player is located. Watch for expansions and kill them when they come up. Predict where the enemy will expand and keep watching those areas for enemy Town Halls. Stick together!In team games, it's important to stick together and fight together with your allies. Often this simple
strategy can win the game against players that do not work well with each other. For example, in a 3 vs. 3 game, 3 team members stick together and launch an attack. On the opposing side, their team only has 2 of the players present to face the first 3 players. The 3 players easily kill the 2 players' armies then only have one player's army left to face. The rest
of the game involves the 3 players mopping up the enemy players since there is only one army to defend. The whole game could be determined by that one battle where one of the teams didn't have all of their members present. If not all of the team is there, run until you can group up together. Do not engage if you are clearly outnumbered. Plan and announce your attacks. Defend your allies' towns and expansions if they are attacked. Ask for help if you need help. Try not to be a "soloer". A soloer is off doing their own thing and is not helping the group. Such a person can often cause a loss for the team because they are not around to help during battles. Level Up Your HeroesHigher Level Heroes are harder to kill, have more health, Mana, and have more spells and abilities to them. Gaining additional Hero Items can help you win battles. Heroes have the ability to determine who wins or loses battles, so it's up to you to stay ahead of the enemy. Seek out and destroy nearby Creeps and continue to attack Creeps throughout the game. Your army should always be attacking either Creeps or enemy units. Be careful to not attack the enemy and Creeps at
the same time causing both to be after you at once. If this does happen, run away. Always attack the Creeps with a superior army. They are not going anywhere so you usually have time to build up superior numbers before attacking. Creeps also drop Hero Items and give Gold, which can provide you with a jump. Creeps"Creeping" means to actively go out and kill Creeps for experience and items. Your ability to Creep can often determine who wins a game. If you are lazy about Creeping the enemy can have much higher level Heroes which can help win battles. Creeps generate items which can help win battles. Creeps also generate a small amount money which can help you upgrade and build more troops. Creeps are a resource, eat them up. Clear out the Creeps between you and your allies so that you can travel freely to each other. If units rally pointed to your Heroes are going to travel through Creep areas, clear out those Creeps so your units will not be ambushed. If you do not, you might be forced to fight your way to defend your ally which is both embarrassing and a bad thing to happen. Team up to kill Creeps. If you work together to kill Creeps they will
cause a lot less damage and you can work through the Creeps much faster. Denying enemy expansionsIf the enemy expands to additional Gold Mines, they will have more money available to upgrade and build troops. Always assume the enemy is going to try to expand. Watch Gold Mines near the enemy base especially as well as scouting all of the other mines from time to time. When you see an expansion, attack it.
Expansions are typically easier to kill than main towns unless the enemy has defended it with towers. Stopping the enemy from expanding should be just as important as expanding yourself. Use Crystal Balls, Sentinels, Scout, Far Sight, Shades, or Sentry Wards to watch expansions. If those are not available send a worker or Summoned Creature (Wolf, Treant, Owl, Hawk, Skeleton, Carrion Beetle, Mechanical Creep) to scout the mine. Learn more.
