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.
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.
The Executioner, in particular, is a top-tier support unit because his axe pierces through enemies, hitting everything in a straight line.
- Never place your support unit directly on top of your tank.
- If they use a single-target killer, a splash unit won't help.
- It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.
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.
The Night Witch is historically the most infamous support unit for heavy tanks because she continuously spawns flying bats while dealing heavy melee damage.
| Tank Choice | Best Support Synergy |
|---|---|
| Flying Behemoth | 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) |
Magic as Support
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.
