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.
This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
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.
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.
- A single heavy spell (like Rocket) will kill the support and severely damage the tank.
- Wait to deploy your support until you see what the enemy uses to defend.
- It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.
Melting the Defenders
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
The Night Witch is historically the most infamous support unit for heavy tanks because she continuously spawns flying bats while dealing heavy melee damage.
| Unit Category | Ideal Target | What kills it |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeper | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P. If you are you looking for more in regards to tower rush look into our page. E.K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Snipers | Defensive Buildings (Cannons, Bomb Towers), Heavy Defenders (Valkyries) | Swarms that surround them, Lightning Spells |
Invisible Helpers
Spells cannot be killed by enemy troops, making them the most reliable, guaranteed support in the entire game.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
