Having the strongest defensive building in your deck means absolutely nothing if you do not know exactly where to place it on the map.

Novice players tend to panic and place their defensive buildings directly in front of the incoming threat, often right at the bridge.
Mastering the Middle
You must place your turret exactly in the center of the arena, usually three tiles from the river and biased slightly toward the lane being attacked.

Furthermore, any melee support troops following the tank will also be pulled into the center, bunching them up perfectly for your splash-damage spells.
The 'anti-lightning' placement is crucial in high arenas.Against fast units like the Hog Rider, you must react instantly.Use cheap cycle buildings like cannons for fast threats. Countering the Artillery
The rules of placement change entirely when you are facing a 'Siege' deck that uses X-Bows or Mortars planted on their side of the river.

Place a splash-damage building like a Bomb Tower directly in the center to safely absorb and destroy the endless waves of cheap units.

Treat the arena as a grid of tactical possibilities rather than just a patch of grass.

Practice your center pulls until you can do them with your eyes closed.
