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.
Choosing the correct support units dictates the entire personality and effectiveness of your deck.
AoE Support Units
The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.
However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.
- Space them out.
- Wait to deploy your support until you see what the enemy uses to defend.
- The Baby Dragon is the most versatile splash support.
High DPS Backline
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.

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