What this deck is

X-Bow Siege is a siege shell built around X-Bow. It sits at 3.3 elixir, which sets how often you can repeat its pressure and how much you can afford to defend before answering back.

How it wins

The pressure this deck applies, strongest angle first.

  • Siege — the tower is attacked from your side of the bridge.
  • Cycle pressure — the same cheap threat returns faster than the answer.

Where it breaks

Structural weak points read off the deck's own shell, not off a single matchup.

  • One-dimensional: answer the single win condition and the deck runs out of plans.
