Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful 'Beatdown' strategy.
If your support units perfectly counter the opponent's specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.
AoE Support Units
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.
- Never place your support unit directly on top of your tank.
- Be reactive.
- The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.
High DPS Backline
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.
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.
| Win Condition | The Perfect Match |
|---|---|
| Flying Behemoth | Balloon (for massive instant damage) or Flying Machine (for safe, ranged sniping from across the river) |
| Golem | Night Witch (for bat swarms and melee DPS) and Lightning Spell (to destroy enemy Inferno Towers) |
Invisible Helpers
A heavy tank paired perfectly with a predictive Log and a Lightning spell can often break through a defense without needing any backup troops.
Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
