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.

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'.
• Always protect your support units.

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 Art of the Spell Support

A heavy tank paired perfectly with a predictive Log and a Lightning spell can often break through a defense without needing any backup troops.

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