Tower and Archer Rush on Arena still a useful strat??

[FARM-MAN]

So for a while now, I've been getting fed up playing Arena, with it often being a booming contest, with the occasional Cumans feudal aggression or castle drop that I've come up against.

It got me thinking about a tower and archer rush, and whether its still fairly viable on arena. What do you think?
I came up with a build order for Malay that I've tested a few times (check it out below) and seems to work well, but definitely would like to hear the thoughts of others!

Also are there any other civs you'd feel work well with this strat on arena?

Well vinchester who is one of the biggest users of the strategy has still been doing it whenever I've seen him play arena. Seems as legit as it ever was.

It is and never was a good strategy.

when vincheater was using it he got the surprise on his side. Also he’s a very strong player so he can pull of strats which others can’t. But vs an equally skilled player a trush never works unless the defender makes huge mistakes.

I kind of disagree it isn`t and it never was a good strategy. If you don`t overinvest into it, it many times cause overreactions even from very good players, which tends to be cost-effective. It might not lead to win the game with the trush itself, but it definitely can cause the other player to fall more behind in eco, than you are. Especially if there are exposed resources or the opponent doesn`t have good micro/experience against trush.

It certainly doesn`t work all of the time, and it shouldn`t, as 99% of strategys, but I still believe it`s viable to do it every once in a while
