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.
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.
- 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.
The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
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.
The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
