Yeah, ele can counter play order archer rushes but if that fails at all it's gg when that air dies to the dual arrows.

I'm still practising ele startups, so if not air or fire then what? Especially what to handle sword+archer if not fire/air?

Yea its GG when your first air dies like that but like I said with earth support, awkward hitboxes and the fact how fast airs are this shouldn't happen that often.

Fire lacks range and takes up to much for your eco to be good on small maps and airs have no room to run if something goes wrong on those maps aswell, especially castle.

Earths are your friends on small maps really there extremely good tower stallers because of there high HP and stun and get you a huge economical advantage if you do it right you end up with 8 miners and a CE in the first few minutes wich is insane, then you can just overwhelm order with airs/fires and some support.

Never attempted 3 earth short map. But it might work out well vs the plan in the OP

Maybe, but in general its not a good starter really.

I don't get it, what start are you saying you do use on short maps then? xD

I use air.
He apparently uses 3 earths

Sorry I was not very clear when I say earths I mean earths that go offensive instead of mining, I ment to say that 3 attacking earths is a bad start you should always make atleast 1 miner.
