Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful ‘Beatdown’ strategy.
If your support units perfectly counter the opponent’s specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.
AoE Support Units
These units are designed specifically to solve the tank’s biggest weakness: massive swarms of cheap, low-health defenders (like the Skeleton Army or Minion Horde).
However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.
- A single heavy spell (like Rocket) will kill the support and severely damage the tank.
- Be reactive.
- The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.
High DPS Backline
If the current meta is dominated by heavy defensive buildings (like the Bomb Tower) or mini-tanks (like the Knight), splash damage support is insufficient.
These high-DPS units require even more careful spacing than splash units, as they are usually incredibly fragile and die to medium spells like the Fireball.
| Support Type | Ideal Target | Biggest Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged AoE | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P.E. For more info in regards to tower rush stop by the web-site. K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Assassins | Defensive Buildings (Cannons, Bomb Towers), Heavy Defenders (Valkyries) | Swarms that surround them, Lightning Spells |
Invisible Helpers
Spells cannot be killed by enemy troops, making them the most reliable, guaranteed support in the entire game.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
