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.
AoE Support Units
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.
- Space them out.
- If they use a single-target killer, a splash unit won’t help.
- The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.
High DPS Backline
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
The Night Witch is historically the most infamous support unit for heavy tanks because she continuously spawns flying bats while dealing heavy melee damage.
| The Meat Shield | The Perfect Match |
|---|---|
| Air Tank | Balloon (for massive instant damage) or Flying Machine (for safe, ranged sniping from across the river) |
| Ground Behemoth | Night Witch (for bat swarms and melee DPS) and Lightning Spell (to destroy enemy Inferno Towers) |
The Art of the Spell Support
Finally, never underestimate the power of pure spells acting as your primary support for a tank.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
