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.

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.

• Never place your support unit directly on top of your tank.
• If they use a single-target killer, a splash unit won’t help.
• It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.

Melting the Defenders

If the current meta is dominated by heavy defensive buildings (like the Bomb Tower) or mini-tanks (like the Knight), splash damage support is insufficient.

These high-DPS units require even more careful spacing than splash units, as they are usually incredibly fragile and die to medium spells like the Fireball.

The Art of the Spell Support

Finally, never underestimate the power of pure spells acting as your primary support for a tank.

Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
