If left unchecked, a single dedicated healer can provide thousands of points of ‘free’ hitpoints to an attacking push, making it virtually unstoppable.

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

You must find a way to bypass the massive meat shield in front and deliver high burst damage directly to the fragile healer in the back.

Alternatively, a perfectly timed heavy spell like a Fireball or Poison can instantly vaporize the support units while simultaneously damaging the tank.

• Separate and conquer.
• Splash damage units are decent, but often lack the burst damage required.
• Healing pushes are usually incredibly expensive (12+ elixir).

The Cheese Pushes

A cloned healer essentially doubles the healing output, turning the surrounding army into a literal immortal wall of hitpoints.

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.

Surgical Defense

The visual clutter and constant healing numbers can cause panic, leading to terrible card placements and wasted spells.

Once you learn to surgically remove the support structure of an enemy push, the most terrifying meta decks become trivial to defend.
