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
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.
- Smart opponents will wait for your tank to cross, then drop a Valkyrie directly ON your support units, killing them instantly.
- 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 bats swarm the enemy's single-target defenders (like the Inferno Tower), distracting them while the Night Witch and the Golem crush the building.

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.
