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.
If your support units perfectly counter the opponent’s specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.
However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.
- Pulling all enemy defenders into one clump for his axe is devastating.
- Beware of the ‘Valkyrie drop’.
- They are the ones actually dealing the massive damage; the tank is just a distraction.
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.
| Tank Choice | What to Pair With |
|---|---|
| Air Tank | Balloon (for massive instant damage) or Flying Machine (for safe, ranged sniping from across the river) |
| The Ultimate Tank | Night Witch (for bat swarms and melee DPS) and Lightning Spell (to destroy enemy Inferno Towers) |
The Art of the Spell Support
Finally, never underestimate the power of pure spells acting as your primary support for a tank.
Building the perfect Beatdown push is like conducting an orchestra; every unit must play its part at the exact right time.
