There are few things more demoralizing in an arena battler than watching your opponent’s massive tank completely regenerate its health bar.

This is exactly what the opponent wants; while you struggle to kill the Giant, the Healer is constantly undoing all your hard work.

Assassinating the Backline

If you successfully eliminate the support, the massive tank becomes a slow, expensive sitting duck that your towers can easily dispatch.

The most reliable way to achieve this is by using specific ‘assassin’ units, such as the Miner or the Bandit, which can bypass the frontline entirely.

• Use it to physically pull the healer away from the tank she is trying to heal.
• Splash damage units are decent, but often lack the burst damage required.
• If you defend it cheaply, you win the game instantly.

Countering the Gimmicks

Healing units are often paired with incredibly gimmicky, high-risk spells like Clone or Rage to create an overwhelming, chaotic push.

Hover your spell the moment you suspect a Clone play, and drop it the millisecond the blue cloning animation begins on their side of the map.

Patience and Precision

Facing a massive, regenerating ‘Elixir Golem’ or ‘Golem’ push is one of the most stressful experiences in the game.

Master the backline dive, and dominate the arena.
