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.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.
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.
- 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.
Melting the Defenders
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.
| Unit Category | What it Beats | What kills it |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeper | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P. If you are you looking for more information in regards to tower rush look into the web page. E.K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Snipers | 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.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
