Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful 'Beatdown' strategy.
Choosing the correct support units dictates the entire personality and effectiveness of your deck.
Clearing the Path
The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.
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.
- If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.
- Smart opponents will wait for your tank to cross, then drop a Valkyrie directly ON your support units, killing them instantly.
- Always protect your support units.
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.
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.
| Win Condition | What to Pair With |
|---|---|
| Lava Hound | Balloon (for massive instant damage) or Flying Machine (for safe, ranged sniping from across the river) |
| Golem | Night Witch (for bat swarms and melee DPS) and Lightning Spell (to destroy enemy Inferno Towers) |
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.
