Your defensive structure acts as the anchor of your entire strategy, dictating exactly what types of enemy pushes you can comfortably survive.
Making the wrong choice will leave a glaring weakness in your roster that experienced opponents will ruthlessly exploit.
Melting the Behemoths
Single-target defenses, such as the Inferno Tower or the Cannon, are designed specifically to deal with massive, high-hitpoint threats.
However, their massive, glaring weakness is their extreme vulnerability to cheap, multi-unit swarm cards.
Ensure the tower locks onto the tank.Placement is critical against tanks.Beware of enemy stun spells.
The Splash Damage Swarm Sweepers
Conversely, splash damage buildings, such as the Bomb Tower, are designed to obliterate massive groups of low-hitpoint enemies instantly.
Therefore, if you choose a splash damage building, you must ensure you have a high-DPS troop (like a Mini P.E.K.K.A) in your deck to handle the heavy lifting.

Balancing Your Defenses
If you already run three area-of-effect spells, you probably do not need a splash damage building; take a single-target killer instead.
Do not be afraid to switch your defensive building if you notice a sudden shift in the daily ladder meta.
