Command & Conquer: Rivals Tips, Tricks: –

1.) Dominate The Missile Platforms

This is one of the main objectives in the battle. Don’t let the enemy dominate more missile platforms than yours. If the enemy gets successful and the missile bar’s gauge reaches to the maximum point, you will lose half of the base’s HP. Remember that you can manually move the units, set targets, and take elemental advantage.

-> Only moving to the missile platforms & watching enemy movements would not help you. You should target the enemy units rushing toward the base or dominating the base.

-> Getting new units -> As you deploy more units on the map or have loads of units on the map, new units will take more time in getting charged.

-> Harvester -> You can also move or control the harvester by tapping it. If the enemy is going to launch the missile and you have no units in hand to balance or stop the missile bar, then navigate harvester to the missile platform.

-> Speed -> All the units featured in Command & Conquer: Rivals have different speed stats. Some units are fast, while some are very slow. You should know about their speed stats so that you can quickly navigate the best units to capture the missile platform. This could be a match-changer if the missile is about to launch.

-> Elemental Advantage -> Some units are strong against a certain type of units. If you tap and hold down the unit icon you will get the details. Or, before the match, you can check the details in the units menu. Additionally, there are some units having special abilities; attack while moving.

-> Destroy the enemy harvester for Tiberium.
