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.

Choosing the correct support units dictates the entire personality and effectiveness of your deck.

Clearing the Path

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).

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.

• 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.
• Always protect your support units.

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 bats swarm the enemy’s single-target defenders (like the Inferno Tower), distracting them while the Night Witch and the Golem crush the building.

The Art of the Spell Support

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.
