Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful 'Beatdown' strategy.
This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.
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.
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.
- Beware of the 'Valkyrie drop'.
- Always protect your support units.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
These units deal massive, concentrated damage to a single enemy, quickly eliminating the structures placed to stop your Golem.
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 | What it Beats | Biggest Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Splash Damage | Skeleton Armies, Goblin Gangs, Minion Hordes | Mini P.E. If you are you looking for more info about tower rush have a look at our own web page. K.K.As, Knights, Heavy Spells (Fireball/Poison) |
| Single-Target DPS | 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.
Building the perfect Beatdown push is like conducting an orchestra; every unit must play its part at the exact right time.
