While aggressive, damage-dealing Champions often get all the glory, defensive heroes are the true backbone of many top-tier decks.

Choosing a defensive champion forces you to play a more patient, analytical game, focusing on counter-attacks rather than brute-force assaults.

The Wall: High Hitpoint Defenders

Unlike offensive tanks that target buildings, these defensive walls usually target enemy troops, ensuring they engage the threat immediately.

Once the enemy is gathered around your champion, you activate their defensive ability while simultaneously dropping a splash-damage spell.

• Maximize the value.
• Create a symbiotic defense.
• If the enemy rockets your champion and your tower, you lose massive value.

The Backline Masters

For players who prefer finesse over brute strength, ranged defensive champions offer unparalleled utility and board control.

The Golem melts in seconds, and because she was invisible, she takes zero damage from the enemy’s supporting spells or troops.

Synergizing Your Deck

You need a reliable, cheap win condition (like a Miner or Goblin Barrel) that can slowly chip away at the enemy tower while your champion handles the defense.

Become the unbreakable wall, and watch the enemies shatter against you.
