The Log
The Log overview
Card stats
Description
A spilt bottle of Rage turned an innocent tree trunk into "The Log". Now, it seeks revenge by crushing anything in its path! Reduced damage to Crown Towers.
The Log battle strategy
At 2 elixir, The Log plays as a Legendary spell that targets ground. Released in 2016, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with The Log when you can float 2 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair The Log with spells or support troops that amplify a spell's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold The Log for ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to The Log whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix The Log with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut The Log down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking The Log near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling The Log so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
