• Summary
  • The Push Trap is a trap in the builder base.
  • It pushes units through the air that are within its unit capacity. (5 capacity can push one giant)
  • It does no damage to units alone.
  • Upgrading the push trap only increases the number of unit capacity it pushes.
  • The Push Trap, like any other trap in the Builder Base, does not need to be re-armed.
  • The Push Trap does not need the Master Builder for construction, however, the Master Builder is required for upgrading.

• Defensive Strategy
  • Use the Push Trap to push away Troops from critical buildings, like the Builder Hall or Defenses.
  • Push units into hazardous areas such as a Spring Trap, a Mega Mine or high-damaging buildings like the Crusher to do more damage to them.
  • Push Traps can be carefully placed to push enemies into another Push Trap. This is best done to high value Troops, like the Boxer Giant, to effectively stall an attack.
  • You can purposefully upgrade only some push traps and use a higher level push trap to push units onto a lower level push trap. The higher level push trap pushes more troops than the lower level push trap, effectively splitting up your opponent's units as some units cannot be pushed by the lower level one.

• Offensive Strategy
  • When going against this trap, try to use one expendable unit, such as a Raged Barbarian, to trigger this trap.
    • The trap remains hidden before triggered, so the player would have to predict where it is
  • You can use the Battle Machine to trigger Push Traps as it does not affect it.

• Upgrade Differences
  • At level 1, it appears to be a wooden board levitated by a spring with a carved arrow.
  • At level 2, there are four nails at each corner.
  • At level 3, the arrow turns to metal and the wood is darker.
  • At level 4, the corners are now metallic.
  • At level 5, the corners connect through metallic stripes.
  • At level 6, the metallic stripes disappear and the arrow and corners become gold.

• History

• Trivia
  • Although the Push Trap is rotated 90 degrees each time, it uses the Air Sweeper's smaller rotation icon (the Air Sweeper rotates 45 degrees each time), rather than the Walls' right angle rotation icon.
