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.

If your support units perfectly counter the opponent's specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.

Clearing the Path

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.

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.

• Pulling all enemy defenders into one clump for his axe is devastating.
• Beware of the 'Valkyrie drop'.
• Always protect your support units.

Melting the Defenders

If the current meta is dominated by heavy defensive buildings (like the Bomb Tower) or mini-tanks (like the Knight), splash damage support is insufficient.

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.

Magic as Support

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.
