In the world of Lords Mobile, you'll come across a term that might sound a bit strange at first: tile hitting. It's a controversial topic, and depending on who you ask, it's either a dirty tactic or a legitimate strategy. So, what exactly is it?

Tile hitting, in simple terms, is attacking another player's troops while they are gathering resources on a tile. This means that if you send your troops to a farm, quarry, or mine, another player can come along and attack your troops on that same tile, stealing the resources you've been gathering.

Now, you might be wondering if this is a good or bad thing. Well, that's where the debate begins. Some players see it as a low blow, a way to bully smaller players who are just trying to gather resources. Others see it as a fair part of the game, a way to weaken your enemies and gain an advantage.

I remember one time I was peacefully gathering some ore, minding my own business. I was just a few minutes away from a full load, and I was already thinking about the upgrades I was going to make. Suddenly, I get a notification that my troops are under attack. A much stronger player had swooped in and completely wiped out my army, taking all the ore I had worked so hard to gather. I was so frustrated! But, it taught me a valuable lesson: always be on your guard in Lords Mobile.

How to Protect Yourself from Tile Hitters

So, how can you avoid being a victim of tile hitting? Here are a few tips:

• Scout before you gather: Before you send your troops to a tile, make sure to scout it first. This will show you if there are any other players nearby who might be tempted to attack you.
• Gather in your guild's territory: If your guild has a hive, try to gather within its boundaries. This will give you some protection, as other players are less likely to attack you when you're surrounded by your guildmates.
• Use a shield: If you have a shield, use it! This will protect your turf from being attacked, but it won't protect your troops on tiles.
• Don't gather overnight: It's tempting to send your troops to gather overnight, but this is also the most vulnerable time. If you're not online to defend yourself, you're an easy target for tile hitters.
• Learn how to attack: Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If you want to learn more about how to attack in Lords Mobile, check out our post on how to attack in Lords Mobile.
