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.
If your support units perfectly counter the opponent's specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.
Clearing the Path
The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.
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.
- A single heavy spell (like Rocket) will kill the support and severely damage the tank.
- Be reactive.
- The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
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.
| Support Type | Ideal Target | The Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Ranged AoE | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P.E. If you have any questions relating to where and ways to use tower rush, you could call us at the site. K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Snipers | Defensive Buildings (Cannons, Bomb Towers), Heavy Defenders (Valkyries) | Swarms that surround them, Lightning Spells |
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.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
