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.

AoE Support Units

These units are designed specifically to solve the tank’s biggest weakness: massive swarms of cheap, low-health defenders (like the Skeleton Army or Minion Horde).

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.
• Smart opponents will wait for your tank to cross, then drop a Valkyrie directly ON your support units, killing them instantly.
• They are the ones actually dealing the massive damage; the tank is just a distraction.

Melting the Defenders

These units deal massive, concentrated damage to a single enemy, quickly eliminating the structures placed to stop your Golem.

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.

Magic as Support

Spells cannot be killed by enemy troops, making them the most reliable, guaranteed support in the entire game.

Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
