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.

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.

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.
• Be reactive.
• The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.

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.

Invisible Helpers

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

Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
