The Best Support Cards for Heavy Tanks in Tower Rush
Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful ‘Beatdown’ strategy.
This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
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.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
The bats swarm the enemy’s single-target defenders (like the Inferno Tower), distracting them while the Night Witch and the Golem crush the building.
| Unit Category | Ideal Target | Biggest Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged AoE | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P. If you are you looking for more information in regards to tower rush have a look at 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 |
The Art of the Spell 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.
