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.
Choosing the correct support units dictates the entire personality and effectiveness of your deck.
AoE Support Units
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.
The Executioner, in particular, is a top-tier support unit because his axe pierces through enemies, hitting everything in a straight line.
- If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.
- Beware of the 'Valkyrie drop'.
- Always protect your support units.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
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.
| Tank Choice | What to Pair With |
|---|---|
| Flying Behemoth | 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) |
Magic as 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.
Building the perfect Beatdown push is like conducting an orchestra; every unit must play its part at the exact right time.
