The true power of a tank lies in its ability to act as a meat shield for the incredibly dangerous, fragile 'support' units walking behind it.
If your support units perfectly counter the opponent's specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.
Clearing the Path
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.
Once the tank falls, the splash unit is immediately targeted by the Princess tower and dies quickly; they absolutely rely on the meat shield to survive.
- A single heavy spell (like Rocket) will kill the support and severely damage the tank.
- If they use a single-target killer, a splash unit won't help.
- It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
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.
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.
| Unit Category | Ideal Target | What kills it |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged AoE | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P.E.K. If you are you looking for more on tower rush take a look at the web page. K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Single-Target DPS | Defensive Buildings (Cannons, Bomb Towers), Heavy Defenders (Valkyries) | Swarms that surround them, Lightning Spells |
The Art of the Spell Support
A heavy tank paired perfectly with a predictive Log and a Lightning spell can often break through a defense without needing any backup troops.
Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
