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.
This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.
AoE Support Units
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.
The Executioner, in particular, is a top-tier support unit because his axe pierces through enemies, hitting everything in a straight line.
Pulling all enemy defenders into one clump for his axe is devastating.Smart opponents will wait for your tank to cross, then drop a Valkyrie directly ON your support units, killing them instantly.Always protect your support units.
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.
These high-DPS units require even more careful spacing than splash units, as they are usually incredibly fragile and die to medium spells like the Fireball.
