To maximize siege damage in Castle Busters, deploy Leif first to destabilize the upper levels of an enemy fortress, then follow up with Sir Rally to destroy the ground foundation. This two-unit sequence bypasses frontal walls, shifts the base's center of gravity, and forces a structural collapse faster than relying on linear projectile units.
Unit Capabilities and Roles
Leif and Sir Rally serve complementary functions during an assault. Leif bypasses outer barriers from above, while Sir Rally delivers heavy melee demolition to the base.
| Unit | Attack Trajectory | Primary Target | Main Risk or Limitation | Strategic Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leif | High-angle steep arc | Upper tiers & internal support beams | Slower projectile travel time requires lead aiming | Shifts base weight and creates upper structural soft spots |
| Sir Rally | Direct ground-level | Primary base foundation blocks | Poor mobility; easily blocked by lower wall debris | Collapses weakened structures from the bottom up |
Execution Sequence for Castle Collapses
Targeting the physics of a castle layout requires executing your unit deployments in strict order:
- Clear pathing obstacles: Deploy secondary units to eliminate low outer wall segments or debris blocking access to the enemy base's foundation.
- Launch Leif's high-arc barrage: Aim Leif's projectiles at the less-dense upper blocks or internal support beams. This bypasses low defensive barriers and causes higher tiers to tilt or shift.
- Identify structural instability: Watch for blocks flickering or leaning. Note the direction the base is tilting once upper supports fail.
- Deploy Sir Rally on the foundation: Send Sir Rally directly to the base foundation blocks on the side opposite the tilt. Removing foundation support while the structure is unbalanced triggers a rapid collapse.
Timing and Deployment Safeguards
- Account for Leif's travel time: High-arc projectiles take longer to reach their target than linear artillery. Wait to see where the castle shifts before launching follow-up shots to avoid firing into empty space.
- Do not rush Sir Rally early: Deploying Sir Rally before clearing intermediate wall segments causes him to waste high-impact strikes on non-essential outer blocks.
- Adapt to the lean: If an enemy structure leans significantly after Leif's initial hits but fails to fall, prioritize Sir Rally's attack on the elevated side of the tilt to finish the collapse efficiently.

This saved me time in the early game.
This helped me understand base building much better.
Good guide for Castle Busters players. The base building part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
