Deploying a massive, high-hitpoint tank like a Golem, Giant, or Lava Hound is only the first step in executing a successful 'Beatdown' strategy.
Choosing the correct support units dictates the entire personality and effectiveness of your deck.
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.
However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.
- If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.
- Beware of the 'Valkyrie drop'.
- They are the ones actually dealing the massive damage; the tank is just a distraction.
Melting the Defenders
These units deal massive, concentrated damage to a single enemy, quickly eliminating the structures placed to stop your Golem.
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.
| The Meat Shield | The Perfect Match |
|---|---|
| Lava Hound | 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.
Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
