These characters rely heavily on their active abilities to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, providing incredible control over the flow of the match.

If you prefer a playstyle that relies on frustrating the opponent into making mistakes, a defensive hero is your perfect avatar.

The Unmovable Objects

The most straightforward defensive champions are massive, heavily armored behemoths designed to absorb incredible amounts of punishment.

This combo can instantly delete twenty elixir worth of enemy troops for a fraction of the cost, setting you up for an unstoppable counter-push.

• Save the ability for when they are surrounded and low on health.
• Pair them with ranged support units.
• Space your placements carefully.

The Backline Masters

These characters usually have very low hitpoints and must be protected fiercely behind your Princess towers or cheap blocking units.

The Golem melts in seconds, and because she was invisible, she takes zero damage from the enemy's supporting spells or troops.

Synergizing Your Deck

When using a defensive champion, your deck must reflect a patient, control-oriented philosophy.

Become the unbreakable wall, and watch the enemies shatter against you.
