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
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.
- Never place your support unit directly on top of your tank.
- Be reactive.
- It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
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.
| Tank Choice | Best Support Synergy |
|---|---|
| Lava Hound | Balloon (for massive instant damage) or Flying Machine (for safe, ranged sniping from across the river) |
| The Ultimate Tank | Night Witch (for bat swarms and melee DPS) and Lightning Spell (to destroy enemy Inferno Towers) |
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.
