The absolute core fundamental skill that separates the elite from the casuals is the ability to perfectly track the opponent's elixir.
This article will break down exactly why counting elixir is mandatory and how you can train your brain to do it automatically.
Knowing When to Strike
However, if you launch that exact same 8-elixir push when you know the opponent has only 2 elixir, it is mathematically impossible for them to stop it.
This situation—having significantly more energy than the opponent—is known as an 'Elixir Advantage', and creating it is the primary goal of the game.
Play safe until you know the math.If you are up by 4, launch your win condition immediately.If you are DOWN in elixir, play hyper-defensively.
Practicing the Count
Start by simply categorizing the opponent into three states: 'High Elixir' (7-10), 'Medium Elixir' (4-6), and 'Low Elixir' (0-3).
Eventually, this process will become completely automatic; you will instinctively 'feel' their elixir bar without having to consciously calculate the numbers.

The True Metric of Winning
Stop staring at the flashy animations and start focusing on the math.
When you perfectly predict an opponent's inability to defend your push based purely on your mental calculation, you will feel invincible.
