If you send a heavy tank across the bridge entirely alone, it will be instantly surrounded and shredded by cheap defensive units for a massive negative elixir trade.
This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
You place these units a few tiles directly behind your tank; as the enemy deploys swarms to kill the tank, your splash unit instantly incinerates them.
However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.
- Space them out.
- Wait to deploy your support until you see what the enemy uses to defend.
- It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.
High DPS Backline
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
The bats swarm the enemy's single-target defenders (like the Inferno Tower), distracting them while the Night Witch and the Golem crush the building.
| Support Type | What it Beats | What kills it |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeper | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P.E. If you are you looking for more on tower rush look at our website. K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Assassins | Defensive Buildings (Cannons, Bomb Towers), Heavy Defenders (Valkyries) | Swarms that surround them, Lightning Spells |
The Art of the Spell Support
Finally, never underestimate the power of pure spells acting as your primary support for a tank.
Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
