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.
Clearing the Path
These units are designed specifically to solve the tank's biggest weakness: massive swarms of cheap, low-health defenders (like the Skeleton Army or Minion Horde).
Once the tank falls, the splash unit is immediately targeted by the Princess tower and dies quickly; they absolutely rely on the meat shield to survive.
If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.Beware of the 'Valkyrie drop'.They are the ones actually dealing the massive damage; the tank is just a distraction.
Melting the Defenders
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.

Invisible Helpers
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.
