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.

Clearing the Path

These units are designed specifically to solve the tank's biggest weakness: massive swarms of cheap, low-health defenders (like the Skeleton Army or Minion Horde).

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.
• Be reactive.
• It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.

The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers

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 Art of the Spell Support

Spells cannot be killed by enemy troops, making them the most reliable, guaranteed support in the entire game.

Building the perfect Beatdown push is like conducting an orchestra; every unit must play its part at the exact right time.
