So far, I know that a rush has something to do with runners, and I have heard of turtling, and also reaper rush, but I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN!

Sorry, got rush wrong too

Rushing: Basically, a strong and early/fast attack that deals heavy damage and basically guarantees victory. Rushes often occur in the early stages of the game and are based on usually simple and foolproof methods. this being said, they are easy to replicate too. The Reaper Rush is a rush utilising Mobi on the map Reaper. Doesn't have to do with runner Previously there was a rush on Foundry, using the lower soldier to attack the base rather than claim the wit space as intended (this has since been patched).

Turtling: *Kind of* the opposite of rushing. Turtling is a menial but often easy to employ but tactic. Primarily it involves the use of Bombshells. It is often where one or both players build some sort of impenetrable fortress around this unit, or where there is some sort of mutual stalemate where both develop forces but neither is capable of overwhelming the other. The most common standoff is where both sides amass bombshells, or one side does so and the other prepares some attack. When both sides utilise bombshells, neither side would benefit greatly from advancing, due to the benefits of camping, and so the matches move at a very slow rate; some may say, as slow as a turtle. Thus the term "turtling"
