What's up everyone this is yarn from Orange Juice

Shoot us a comment down below on what you think we should make next

Today we'll be teaching you about how buildings pull pork

We'll also be talking about the elusive piggy push

The piggy push allows the hog to bypass buildings that are exactly 3 tiles away from the crown tower

To perform a pig push, knowing how to quick drop can help tremendously

Check out our video if you haven't already

Another concept you need to understand is how to pull pork with buildings

I'll be breaking it down into zones

The centre is the most dangerous area a structure can be placed

It's referred to as the "kill zone"

When the Hog aggros into the kill zone, both arena towers will be within range

All structures including passive structures can pull the pork into the kill zone

You don't have to worry about this area

It's the "dead zone"

Both area towers are out of range

Even Spear Goblins can attack the river

This is the "friend zone"

The hog will just walk passed the structure and go straight to the arena tower

Now that you understand the zones, lets talk about the more advanced pulled pork zone

There's the left pull zone, and the right pull zone

The left pull zone will aggro at all directions

It's 3 tiles away from the right tower

And 2 tiles away from the left tower

You can only piggy push from the right side

The same concept with the right pull zone

The Hog will draw in like a magnet everywhere

It's 3 tiles away from the left tower

So you can only do a pig push from the left side

To execute a pig push, you'll want to plant the Hog in the furthest tile in front

Then quick drop a small group of units like skeletons 1 tile beside the Hog

If you look closely this actually slightly pushes the H og

Skeletons are a great card too, since they're cheap

They might be too slow to reach the tower, but it's the cheapest way to perform a pig push

Both Goblins compliment the Hog since they can both match the Hogs "Very Fast" movespeed

Melee Goblins can be devastating since they offer high DPS to compliment the hog

But the drawback is that they're more susceptible to splash.

Spear Goblins can chip away at a safe distance when facing splash units

They're less susceptible to splash

The pig push can work behind too

The tradeoff is that it gives your opponent more time to react

But the risk can be rewarding

The 3rd melee goblin ignored the cannon and went straight to the tower

Teslas behave a bit different

If the Tesla is planted 2 or less tiles from the river, you can't pig push

But when it's planted exactly 3 tiles from the river

You CAN pig push

When the Tesla is 4 or more tiles from the river, you DON'T need to pig push

But you DO need to plant the Hog on the edge

The Hog will go straight to the tower

But only if the Tesla isn't activated

I prefer to use small cost units, but you can get creative and piggy push with other units too

Occasionally and inexplicably, the hog will just hop over the bridge (only on the left side)

It's completely unpredictable when he decides to do this

It's much safer to do a pig push than to hope he hops the bridge

Jiro:yarn? How do you counter someone knows how to pig push?

Well, you can pull with a second structure but in most cases that's a negative elixir trade

It's better to save your structure until after the Hog crosses the river

Since the Hog was pre-pig pushed

You need to counter by placing the structure less than 3 tiles from your tower

It's much better than using 2 structures

Here's an example showing how game changing the pig push technique can be

Especially if your opponent has a lot of structures

My opponent expected to pull my Hog into the Cannon

Into his Mortar, than rocket my tower for the win

It's like chess, you have be multiple steps ahead of your opponent
